Further Benefits

In addition to the above, there are also many financial benefits to your business, particularly if you’re able to sign multiple employees up to the scheme, as you’ll receive a higher level of VAT claim back and will be able to aim for more aggressive eco-friendly targets as a result. Furthermore, eco is looking to ensure that businesses engaging with salary sacrifice for car lease schemes are protected in the event that an employee leaves the company.
