Salary sacrifice for employees

What is salary sacrifice?

Salary sacrifice is one of the most affordable ways to get behind the wheel of a brand-new or quality used car.

The scheme is offered as a benefit through your employer, and if you’re eligible, you could enjoy tax-efficient driving, with a convenient all-inclusive package*.

As it’s classed as a benefit, you’ll pay Benefit-in-Kind tax (BiK), a.k.a. Company Car Tax, but even with this, it’s still a cost-effective option, especially if you opt for an electric vehicle (EV).

Plus, our used car deals mean your budget could stretch to a higher-spec car than you anticipated (and our Used Car Promise guarantees that you’ll get a car you can rely on).

How does salary sacrifice work for employees?

You’ll get access to a car and all-inclusive package* by sacrificing a fixed amount from your pre-tax salary, meaning you’ll pay less National Insurance and Income Tax.

Just like leasing, you can choose from a range of makes and models before selecting a term length and mileage that suits you. Unlike leasing, however, there are no deposits or upfront costs – making that new car feeling even easier.

Zenith’s all-inclusive package* includes:

Fully comp insurance

Road tax

Scheduled servicing and maintenance

Breakdown cover

Replacement tyres

Windscreen and glass cover

Accident management.

Drive an EV with salary sacrifice

Want to switch to electric? You’re in the right place.

Salary sacrifice is one of the most affordable and accessible ways to drive an electric vehicle (EV).

We offer EVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) from a wide range of manufacturers, so you can find a car that suits your lifestyle.
As well as reducing your carbon footprint, opting for an EV could reduce your spending. They have lower running costs, Benefit-in-Kind rates, and many businesses offer free or reduced charging facilities.

Get more for your money with a used car

Get even more value with a used model.

All our used cars have our seal of excellence, and you’ll get the same great Zenith experience with our all-inclusive package*.

They’re also covered by our Used Car Promise which includes a full service history and third-party AA Safety Inspections – so you’ll get a great deal on a car you can rely on.

Need a car in a hurry? We offer delivery in as little as two weeks with our used models.
