It's abit confusing... So would we pay the net or the gross?

Take the Sonos Sub for example

Sonos SUB Wireless Subwoofer
Delivery Included


Basic Rate Tax Payer Higher Rate Tax Payer
Cost to you through the Let's Connect benefit: Monthly Monthly
Reduction to gross pay £ 26.84 £ 26.84
less Income tax savings £ 5.37 £ 10.74
less National Insurance savings £ 3.22 £ 0.54
plus Benefit-in-Kind Tax £ 1.99 £ 3.98
Net Pay adjustment £ 20.24 £ 19.54
Cost comparison - Let's Connect Benefit vs. Retail: 24 Months 24 Months
Normal Retail Pricing including Delivery Included £ 599.00 £ 599.00
Cost if Purchased via a Personal Loan (43.87) £ 696.36 £ 696.36
Total Cost of agreement = Net Pay adjustment x 24 Months £ 485.76 £ 468.96
Savings over 24 Months - Lets Connect Benefit vs Personal Loan £ 210.60 £ 227.40
Final Tax Charge if Equipment is retained £ 47.75 £ 95.50

So a total cost for a basic rate tax payer would be £ 485.76 + the final £47.75 to transfer ownership?
