Arrivano gli incentivi per chi va in bici al lavoro!

Con la nuova finanziaria arriva anche una bella novita': gli incentivi a chi va al lavoro in bici!

Cycle to work scheme

From 1 January 2009, the provision of bicycles and associated safety equipment by employers to employees who agree to use the bicycles to cycle to work will be treated as a tax exempt benefit-in-kind. The exemption may only apply once in any five year period in respect of any employee. There will be a limit on the value of such purchases of €1,000 for each employee. The scheme may also be implemented via salary sacrifice arrangements, whereby an employee agrees to forego part of his/her salary to cover the costs associated with the purchase of the bicycle and associated safety equipment. Where such salary sacrifice arrangements are implemented, they must be completed over a maximum period of twelve months.

mi sembra una bella novita', anche se i commenti irish sembrano abbastanza negativi su questa cosa...forse e' dovuto al meteo che non invita proprio ad una bella pedalata...e forse anche perche' They love their fecking cars! Molte volte mi hanno detto che andare in giro in bici era una cosa da "foreigners"...
