Cyclescheme Response to HMRC Advice (December 2009)

Feedback...

I could not believe the savings

I have recently acquired a new cycle under the Halton Borough Council Cyclescheme. I could not believe the savings which could be made under the scheme and found the whole process extremely straightforward. I would not hesitate to recommend the scheme, as a method of obtaining a bike. The website was excellent, offering a comprehensive guide to the scheme and providing all the relevant information.

As you may already be aware, HMRC published a document entitled ‘Salary sacrifice arrangements involving cycles and bus passes’ in December 2009. This document helps clarify the scope of tax exemption for the Cycle to Work scheme.

Cyclescheme is extremely pleased with the resultant clarification of the rules pertaining to the tax exemption; in particular, in relation to scheme provision for employees who are aged under 18 (Under 18’s), employees on or just above National Minimum Wage (NMW), and the ‘sale of cycles after the end of the hire period’.

In response to this positive news we would like to advise all Employers of the changes we have implemented to our scheme provision to ensure all future schemes are compliant with the new guidelines.
