How do I pay for the bicycle?
You visit the shop, select the equipment you wish to buy and have the shop invoice your employer directly for the cost. Your employer will issue you a certificate for the bicycle and accessories and sets up a ‘salary sacrifice’ arrangement from your salary over an agreed time frame (which cannot be more than 12 months). This generally means that your employer will have to pay for the bike. The tax exemption does not apply if you pay for the bicycle and are reimbursed by your employer – they must pay for the bicycle via a certificate
The repayment for the bicycle and equipment is then deducted from your gross salary (this means before income tax, PRSI, pension levies or Universal Social Charge are deducted). These deductions can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on your salary payment arrangement. Your employer can also buy the bicycle on your behalf and not require you to pay for it.
