How salary sacrifice works on Kota

Every scheme,one relationship

Already run pension salary sacrifice? It plugs straight in and counts in every check alongside the rest.

Salary sacrifice

Keeping it in order

Minimum wage

By law, no sacrifice can take anyone’s pay below the minimum wage. Kota shows every deduction, pension included, before it reaches payroll.

Your cap

Set a limit on how much anyone can sacrifice, and Kota applies it across every scheme.

Benefit-in-kind

Where a scheme creates a taxable benefit, like an electric car, Kota gives your payroll each employee’s value.

“People think they have to deal with brokers and paperwork, but that is not the case with Kota. It really works from an employee engagement perspective.”

Niamh LangtonStudio Manager, &Open

A few thingsworth knowing.

Which schemes can you run?

Electric cars, cycle to work, home and tech, and nursery benefit. They run alongside pension salary sacrifice if you already have it.

How much can employees save?

It depends on the scheme and their tax band. For cycle to work and pension, payments come out of salary before tax, so they save the income tax and National Insurance on that amount. An electric car also carries a small company car tax charge, and Kota’s agent includes it in their numbers.

Who runs the minimum-wage check?

Kota does, every pay run, across every scheme each person is in, pension included.

What happens when someone leaves?

Their deductions stop with their last pay run. Each scheme has its own rules for what happens next, like returning or buying out a car, and Kota’s agent explains theirs.

Do you advise us on which schemes to offer?

No. Kota is a non-advised broker. We set up and run the schemes, and give you and your team the information to decide for yourselves.

Do you cover Ireland?

Not for salary sacrifice. These are UK schemes, and what’s available in Ireland works differently. Kota runs your other benefits in both countries, and Irish pension contributions go through Invest.

What does it cost?

Kota’s per-employee fee covers it, and the company usually saves employer National Insurance on what’s sacrificed. Some scheme providers charge their own fees, and we show you those upfront.

What is salary sacrifice?

An agreement where an employee gives up part of their salary in exchange for a benefit, like an electric car or a bike, paid for before tax.
