I am aware of the provisions of Section 7 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2008 which introduced an exemption from income tax in respect of a benefit-in-kind arising from a bicycle or associated safety equipment being provided to an employee by his or her employer for the purposes of commuting to work. My Department is at present studying the detailed arrangements that will be required to implement the scheme, along with the related resource implications.
