The Salary Deduction scheme allows permanent employees of Somerset County Council, who travel at least 3000 business miles per annum, to lease a brand new fully maintained car of their choice. The Public Sector attracts some of the largest discounts available and we choose the best price from 15 leasing companies to ensure that you get the best deal.
The Salary Sacrifice scheme reduces your gross pay (before stoppages) for the period of the lease contract. This means you pay less Income Tax, National Insurance and Pension contributions on your lower gross pay. The allowance for business mileage including fuel is paid on submission of a monthly mileage return.
Salary sacrifice allows you to join the scheme with low or no business mileage and the payroll savings will mean that it is the cheapest method for most people.
When choosing your new car please be aware that Somerset County Council will charge a carbon offsetting fee of £60 (one off) for any vehicles with CO2 emissions of over 119 grams per kilometre which will be donated to the Woodland Trust. The cost of this will be deducted from your salary at the same time that the first monthly deduction is taken following delivery of the car.
