Cycle to Work Scheme


To set up 'Cycle to Work' in Thesaurus Payroll Manager, a tax allowable deduction can be created.  

To do this:

  • go to Payslips > Weekly/Fortnightly/Monthly Input

  • Choose the relevant employee and click into their Deductions section

  • Enter a description (e.g. Bike to Work) in one of the fields provided for 'Deductions - tax allowable' and enter the periodic value of the deduction.  


    For example:
    if the total cost of the bicycle and equipment is €780 and the repayment period is 30 weeks, the weekly deduction amount will be €26.




 

 

 

  • Going forward, when the payroll is processed, the amount entered above will be deducted from the employee's wage before PAYE, PRSI and USC are calculated.





  • An end date can be entered for the deduction by going to Utilities > 'Specify end dates for additions or deductions'.



 

  • If an end date is not entered, it will be the user's responsibility to stop/remove the deduction from the employee's payslip once the total cost of the bicycle and equipment has been recouped.



Please note: 

  • There is no PAYE, USC or PRSI due on the cost of the bicycle and/or accessories up to the limit of €1,250 (and €1,500 for electric bikes).

  • The period to avail of the cycle to work scheme is every four years.

  • The maximum term for the repayment of the bicycle and equipment is 12 months.
