Salary Sacrifice Car Scheme
Allow employees to lease an EV by sacrificing a portion of their pre-tax salary.
The salary sacrifice car scheme has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for both employers and employees. We specialise in bridging the gap between high-end automotive technology and tax-efficient financial planning.
Whether you are an employer looking to bolster your recruitment package or an employee dreaming of a brand-new electric vehicle (EV) without the retail price tag, a salary sacrifice car represents the ultimate win-win scenario.
What is a Salary Sacrifice Car Scheme?
At its simplest, a salary sacrifice car scheme is an agreement between an employer and an employee. The employee agrees to “sacrifice” a portion of their gross monthly salary (their pay before income tax and National Insurance are deducted) in exchange for a non-cash benefit, in this case, a brand-new, fully maintained, and insured car.
Because the deduction is taken from your gross pay, you only pay tax and National Insurance on the remaining amount. This creates a significant tax saving, often making the cost of the vehicle 30% to 60% cheaper than a traditional personal lease.
How does it work?
Navigating the world of automotive finance can be daunting, but Vavoom simplifies the journey. Here is how the typical lifecycle of a salary sacrifice car works:

Agreement
Your company partners with Vavoom to launch the scheme.

Selection
You browse our extensive range of the latest low and zero-emission vehicles through your own personalised and intuitive online portal.

Terms & Conditions
Once you have selected the vehicle you would like, you will sign the scheme Terms & Conditions. Your order will then be sent to your employer for sign off and approval.

The Sacrifice
A fixed monthly amount is calculated based on the car’s lease cost, insurance, and maintenance. This is deducted from your pre-tax pay.

Tax Adjustments
While you save on Income Tax and NI, you will be liable for Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax. For electric vehicles, this is currently exceptionally low (just 4% through 2026/27), which is why EVs are the primary focus of modern schemes.

Delivery
Vavoom handles the logistics, delivering your brand-new car directly to you.
