From a health, money saving and payroll perspective, taking the bike to work simply makes sense!
Although it has been around for many years now, it is worth reminding you about “Bike To Work” schemes. The fact that you can buy a bike for the purposes of traveling to work for 48% of the normal purchase price is worthy of mention.
And besides, it’s good for you too!
Cyclescheme is a provider of tax-free bikes for the Revenue’s Cycle to Work scheme. Employee’s can make big savings of up to 52% on the price of a bike and accessories through savings on Tax, PRSI and USC.
Employers can also make savings on employer PRSI of up to €107.50 per employee. By providing a “bike to work” scheme through your payroll, you get a healthier workforce and reduce your carbon footprint as well as providing a fantastic benefit to your employees.
