Salary sacrifice for employers
Set up an electric car salary sacrifice scheme for free. We outline the steps here for you.
Save up to 40% on an electric car through our salary sacrifice scheme.
Our electric vehicle scheme saves employers and employees thousands of pounds every year, while helping them reduce carbon emissions.
Employees exchange a portion of their salary for the use of a salary sacrifice electric car. They get to drive a brand-new vehicle with maintenance included, while saving on tax and National Insurance. Employers benefit by paying less in salary and employers’ NI contributions, meeting sustainability targets in the process.
We put more than 3,000 new vehicles on the road every year with over 15,000 under our management.
Wessex Fleet’s salary sacrifice offers the complete EV salary sacrifice car scheme package from specialists with over 20 years’ experience.
Boost recruitment and retention by enhancing your total benefits package, providing an “all employee” benefit.
Our multi-bid funding solution is similar to a competitive tender, driving the best prices through an extensive panel of funders.
Reduce the carbon footprint of your employees, encouraging drivers away from older grey fleet vehicles.
Take advantage of our free whole life cost analysis to calculate cost savings before you decide which vehicles to offer.
You’ll receive a dedicated account contact, and we’ll handle all the administration for your scheme.
Businesses and their drivers get access to our intuitive portal and calculator, allowing them to compare quotes, view order details and sign contracts.
Want to know if the higher upfront cost of EVs is outweighed by a reduced whole life cost? And by how much?
We’ll help you make an informed decision by comparing the costs of running your fleet with the costs of running EVs, taking into account the long-term savings on fuel, maintenance, tax, and insurance, alongside potential savings from exemptions.

Wessex Fleet gets you the most competitive funding solutions alongside the best value lease vehicles through cost effective tendering. Accessing 100s of brand-new vehicles from leading manufacturers around the country, Wessex Fleet’s panel of funders could save you thousands compared to relying on a single funding route.
What’s an electric car salary sacrifice?
An EV salary sacrifice scheme is an optional benefit that companies can offer their employees. It allows staff to exchange part of their monthly salary for a brand-new electric car.
How much does it cost an employer to join your salary sacrifice scheme?
Nothing! The great part is that it’s free for a business to sign up for the Wessex Fleet salary sacrifice scheme.
What are the tax implications of a salary sacrifice scheme?
As the salary deduction is made before tax or national insurance contributions are taken from an employee's wages, they can save money compared to taking out a personal lease. The business can save money too, as it reduces their National Insurance contribution.
