Cycle-to-Work Scheme

Government launched the Cycle to Work scheme in 2009 to encourage the use of bicycles for travel to and from work.

The system allows for a civil or public service employer to incur the expense of providing an officer with a bicycle and bicycle safety equipment.

Under the revised scheme in 2020, the limit on allowable expenditure increased from €1,000 to €1,500 regarding pedelecs (e-bikes) and related safety equipment. The limit is €1,250 for other bicycles and related safety equipment.

Up to these thresholds, there is no benefit-in-kind taxation.

The exemption can be availed of once in any four years.

Officers wishing to use the scheme should contact their HR department.
