Bike to Work scheme

Cycle to Work Scheme

This scheme aims to encourage you to cycle to and from work. Under the scheme your employer can buy a bicycle and safety equipment for you. This will not be a taxable benefit-in-kind.

There are now two limits, depending on the type of bicycle purchased.

  • For pedelecs or e-bikes and related safety equipment the limit is €1,500
  • For cargo e-bikes and related safety equipment the limit is now €3,000.

 

The purchase can be made in our shop.

 

How do I save money on the Bike to Work Scheme?

As an employee you save on the costs of cycling to work because your repayments come out of your salary before tax, USC and PRSI are deducted. This means that someone on the highest rate of tax will save around half of the cost of a new bike and equipment.
