Extend eligibility for salary sacrifice car schemes to teachers, who are currently the only profession excluded from having access to such schemes.

The Issue

Teachers are currently the only profession excluded from having access to salary sacrifice car schemes. These schemes allow employees to sacrifice part of their salary in return for a brand new vehicle, with significant savings.  However, due to national pay regulations, teachers are currently the only profession in the country excluded from having access to this scheme.

The scheme provides a fully inclusive motoring package for a fixed monthly amount so drivers only really need to worry about fuel and oil.  In addition through corporate discounts and tax efficiencies it offers an annual average saving of £1,200. It is also an environmentally friendly scheme as it helps to reduce carbon emissions, with a range of low-emissions vehicles on offer.
