UCC’s Cycle to Work (Employer Bicycle) 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 commuting to work (or parts thereof) or travel between workplaces.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to purchase a bike shop from one of UCC's approved suppliers. It is possible to choose a bike shop listed on https://www.biketowork.ie/shops, Halfords is an example of a bike shop employees use, that is not one of our suppliers.
To avail of the Scheme: please complete all pages of the Application Form, scan and email it to mary.odonovan@ucc.ie.
