About the Save as you Learn Scheme
Employers can also offer work-related training through a salary sacrifice arrangement.  There are restrictions - In order to qualify for the tax exemption the training must be linked to an employee's role within an organisation or a role they could potentially have in the future.

Benefits

  • Employees can save up to 41% on their learning package and spread the cost
  • The company saves the Employer National Insurance Contributions on the cost of the learning packing
  • Businesses benefit from their employees ongoing development and additional skill

How the Save as you Learn Scheme Works

  • The Company pays for the relevant course/tutoring
  • The cost is recovered from the employee via a deduction from their gross pay (Salary Sacrifice) over 12 months or the length of the course
  • This provides the employee with a Tax efficient method for paying for learning and spreads the cost
  • Employers can have the option of subsidising the cost if they wish
