Employee Information

Welcome to Bike to Work, we are here to help you take advantage of the recent Government initiative offering tax free bikes for cycling to work.

Using the Bike to Work scheme, your employer can help you obtain a brand new bike and safety equipment worth up to 1,000 euro. You can use a salary sacrifice arrangement to pay for the bike monthly and that means you can save up to 47% of the retail price of bike and equipment. Your employer also makes savings to encourage them.

How the tax break works

The scheme is a voucher scheme and you will need to apply for a voucher to redeem against your goods when you go to collect them from a local participating bicycle shop. To obtain your voucher you need to:

1. Your company signs up for the scheme.
2. Visit your local participating bicycle shop to choose your equipment and obtain a written quote.
3. Return the quotation to your HR scheme administrator to forward to Bike to Work to request a voucher.
4. Once the voucher is requested Bike to work will invoice your employer for the bike package.
5. Complete and sign the Purchase Agreement (which is sent to you by your company) and return it to your HR person, at your participating company.
6. Once payment is made for the bike package by the company you collect your voucher from Human Resources.
7. Redeem your voucher at the bike shop and collect your goods (you must provide your Company photo ID card or current Drivers license or Passport to do this).

There are savings to be made for Employers too, PRSI savings, reduced parking problems, savings in parking tax, and a healthier, fitter workforce.
