Nah they give you a voucher and then take it out of you wage over a set period of time, in muy case they are taking 930 out of my wage over a month! A mate is getting 25 a week out of his wage over 6 months

the saving comes from tax, you dont pay paye until you have saved the value of your discount

This is the bad boy I picked out -

RAPID 3 2011

 
 
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Lovely bike,  only thing I will say is that if you are leaving it about town or locking it anywhere, get 2 good locks and maybe, done it down on the colours either by covers or paint.

Thiefs are a bit stupid and like magpies they are attracted to bright and shiny things.

Each company does it there own way, some restrict you to one shop etc so there is no standard way of doing it.

€795 for the rothair and then I got a lock, lights, water holder, mud guards and I will get him to remove the quick release nuts and put on these special nuts that need a key, so €900 all in.
 
Mate of mine got one as well recently spend approx €750 and as far as he remembers all he said was €33 docked off his wages for 4 months so in total he paid approx €432

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

No 33 p/m x 4 months. - that is just an approx. The way his company did it was  from start to finish for every year.So he started paying it in August therefore only 4 months left to pay it.
And all he remembers was being deducted 33 euro per month.
 
My work will give me a choice and I will do it over 12 months which is the max. Not sure how much i will pay each month - it all depends on your tax bracket etc

4 x €33 = €132

There's no way he got it that cheap? U said €432 was the total in ur 1st post. Just asking cause I'm hoping to do something similar when I go home

Calculate the savings from here. If your in the higher tax bracket (42%) you can get 51% off the price of the bike and accessories up to max 1000.
