BYD salary sacrifice deals undercut BIK math
Illustration generated for THRIVE

BYD models are turning up on salary sacrifice schemes from around £272 a month, riding the 4% BIK rate that still makes electric the obvious sacrifice choice against combustion. The wrinkle for anyone building a scheme business case: Reeves has already altered the sacrifice rules once, and further changes land in 2029, so the income tax and National Insurance savings driving that low headline figure are not fixed for the life of a typical four-year lease. Treat 2026 pricing as the window you can rely on, not the whole story, and get schemes signed with drivers who understand the arithmetic could shift before the car is handed back (Loveelectric).
