Introducing a salary sacrifice car scheme into your business is one of the smartest ways to boost your employee benefits package. Not only does it help you attract and retain talent, but it also supports your environmental goals and allows employees to access brand-new electric or low-emission vehicles in a tax-efficient way.
At AVC, we help UK companies, partnerships, and organisations of all sizes set up and manage fully compliant salary sacrifice schemes from start to finish. With over 25 years of experience in vehicle leasing and salary sacrifice implementation, we offer a hands-on, strategic approach that ensures your scheme is cost-effective, fully compliant, and tailored to your workforce.
A salary sacrifice scheme allows an employee to give up a portion of their gross salary in exchange for a non-cash benefit—in this case, a fully maintained lease car. This arrangement offers significant tax savings to employees, particularly when the vehicle is a zero-emission EV or low BIK plug-in hybrid.
Setting up a compliant scheme requires contractual adjustments, and both employer and employee must agree to the new arrangement. AVC ensures that all documentation, processes, and calculations are properly managed, including safeguards to ensure that no employee’s salary is reduced below the National Minimum Wage threshold.
Unlike self-managed schemes or generic lease portals, AVC offers a fully managed salary sacrifice solution. From initial consultation to scheme rollout and day-to-day support, we guide your business through every step.

Our team handles all the financial, legal, and operational aspects, so you can offer an impressive benefit without the admin burden.
Most employers choose electric cars (EVs) or plug-in hybrids for salary sacrifice schemes because of the ultra-low Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax rates. For example, a fully electric car in 2025 has a BIK rate of just 2%, making it extremely attractive for employees compared to petrol or diesel alternatives.
Our vehicle selection prioritises zero-emission and ULEZ-compliant models—and all leases come with optional packages that include servicing, maintenance, breakdown cover, insurance, and tyre replacement. This not only enhances the benefit for employees but also simplifies cost planning for employers.
