 How does the scheme work?

You will have the opportunity to hire a cycle from CEMEX, and you can choose a cycle and cycle equipment to the value of between £100 and £1,000.  At the end of the hire agreement CEMEX may give you the opportunity to take ownership of the cycle at fair market value. Please note any arrangements that may be made regarding purchase of the bike at that time will be the subject of a separate agreement. As stated above, you do not pay Tax or National Insurance contributions on the value of the salary you sacrifice for this agreement. For example, if you choose a cycle and safety equipment to the value of £400 and are a lower rate tax payer you could save up to £128* on the total cost, and if you are a higher rate tax payer you could save up to £168*.

*exact savings are subject to your individual tax and national insurance calculations.
