Salary Sacrifice - what is it and why?

Salary Sacrifice schemes are a widely used method for both employees and employers to cut down on tax and National Insurance contributions. However, it's important to fully understand their effects before deciding if they are the right choice for your organisation.

This live webinar covers the fundamentals of salary sacrifice schemes, including what they are, typical arrangements, and common misconceptions. It also delves into Optional Remuneration Arrangements (OpRA), National Minimum Wage implications, and the impact on tax, NICs, student loans, and more.
