UCC Employer Bicycle Scheme
University College Cork- Cycle-to-Work Bicycle Scheme
UCC’s Cycle-to-Work Scheme started in September 2009. Thanks to the Government’s Tax-Relief Scheme, employees can save income tax and PRSI on the purchase of a bicycle and related safety equipment, when they buy it through their employer and the price is deducted from their salaries over a maximum of 12 months. One of the conditions is that the bicycle must primarily be used for their commuting to work journey (or parts thereof) or for travel between workplaces.
Applications for UCC's Cycle-to-Work Scheme should be submitted via email.
When you have completed the form please scan and send it to: mary.odonovan@ucc.ie. You should also include a copy of the invoice from the supplier as failure to do so can delay payment and cause a subsequent delay in you getting your bicycle.
The spend limit for regular pedal bikes is €1,250, for e-bikes it is €1,500 and for cargo bikes it is €3,000 (inclusive of associated equipment).
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to purchase a bike shop from one of UCC's approved suppliers. It is however also possible to choose a bike shop listed on the Bike-to-Work website (www.biketowork.ie). Bike to Work is a third-party agency that UCC uses making a wider range of suppliers available to employees.
To avail of the Scheme: please complete all pages of the Application Form, scan and email it to mary.odonovan@ucc.ie.
