Bike to Work Scammer

    As an employer, I am wondering if there are any obligations on me regarding the correct use of the scheme.

    Eg. If I know I have an employee 1 who is planning to buy a bike on the bike to work scheme, but it is for someone else.

    Someone else is also an employee.....

    Employee 1 pays tax, someone else doesn't earn enough to pay any tax.

    Should I allow them to avail of the scheme?
    Employer records

    All records in relation to this scheme can be examined by Revenue as part of normal inspections.

    Failing to operate the scheme correctly will result in the benefits being withdrawn from both you and your employee.

    The answer is pretty much there in your quote.

    Would you agree to pay one employee their salary via another one, in order to reduce their tax? Cos really this is no different.

    And will you ever trust those employees not to rip you off, too?

    As noted in earlier reply, you don't want either of these on your premises/payroll.

    Either way you do this it does not auger well:
    You acquiesce to this fraudulent endeavour: you are both complicit and seen as a soft touch.
    You refuse, they will look to gouge you in some other way.

    The mind set lacks integrity
