Cycle to Work;

On 1 January 2009 a new government scheme to encourage people to cycle to work came into force.  Cycling keeps you fit, it’s fast, cheap and reliable – and it’s good for the environment.

The new bike scheme covers bicycles and accessories up to a maximum cost of €1,000.  The bicycle must be purchased by your employer but the scheme can then operate either with your employer bearing the full cost of the bicycle, or by way of a salary sacrifice agreement (like the existing travel card scheme) in which you pay for it, tax free, over 12 months.

Participating in the bicycle scheme is easy.  If your employer decides to take part, they simply buy the bike and equipment on your behalf and off you go. It is up to you and your employer to decided whether they buy the bike outright for you or whether you pay for it via ‘salary sacrifice’.  Either way you save on tax.

The scheme is flexible in its application in that your employer doesn’t have to specifically notify the Revenue Commissioners that you’re availing of the scheme and there are no Government forms to fill out.  However, your employer does have to maintain the normal records such as invoices and payment details associated with buying the bike.

We take:

• Bike to Work vouchers
• Raleigh to Work vouchers
• Bike 4 Work vouchers
• One 4 All vouchers
•  

For direct dealing (no vouchers involved), we give a further 10% discount on what you will already save - this amounts to €1,111 purchase value for the €1,000 scheme allowance.

Choose your preferred bike type from the menu.  If you want a half-hour personalised consultation to select the best size and style of bike to suit your needs, please contact us .
