Building the business case for salary sacrifice and electric vehicles

Sponsored by:

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, the role, and design, of company car schemes has changed for many organisations. Car salary sacrifice arrangements and electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular with both employers and employees, in part due to their cost efficiencies and sustainable credentials. So, what do employers need to know when building the business case for such schemes?

Employee Benefits' webinar, in association with Tusker, will explore what employers need to consider before implementing a salary sacrifice arrangement; what challenges they may encounter around electric vehicles or salary sacrifice; tax reporting and financial accounting; the role of electric vehicles in a sustainability strategy; and how to maximise employee engagement with electric vehicles and salary sacrifice.

Editor Debbie Lovewell-Tuck will welcome four expert panellists for an in-depth discussion about the key issues around car salary sacrifice arrangements and electric vehicles.

Attendees will have the opportunity to pose questions to our panel throughout the discussion.
