Has anyone actually done this and how much are you paying a week/month and for what?

Bought an ipad pro and it works out at about £50 pm over 2 years but I was going to buy one anyway so don't have to hand over a big lump of cash and can spread the cost.

So what did you save on that. I was looking at an iPhone and could buy one but with the damage cover it looks a decent deal.just trying to work out what it actually costs a week from my wages

I must be missing something? £50pm over 2 years is £1200

It appears that Phillip Hammond may close such schèmes , cycling to work and child care vouchers will not be affected.

I saw the consultation on this closed a month ago so what happens if they close the scheme that you are contracted to.

After doing some digging around it seems no one knows what happens if you are already on a salery sacrifice and the law changes but you might not be protected. I'll wait until Wednesday and see what's actually in the autumn statement before I commit. Strange though seeing as we've only just got this at rm as far I know and it could be pointless

I ordered a Iphone 6S on the 7th November and have been told Royal mail first have to authorize it which can take up to 2 weeks, then its subject to availability. The deals seems good, but the after service is piss poor

Are they considering scrapping the sacrafice scheme then? f***ing typical if they do, just got my full time contract and was going to lease a car

From what I've read if it does get stopped companies can still offer the benefits but they won't be ''as good'' savings wise.
