Is salary sacrifice legal and are there any risks to the business when switching?

Salary sacrifice is an HMRC approved National Insurance cost-saving scheme used by 86% of the
FTSE 350 but only 27% of UK companies.

Employers don’t need to inform HMRC if they are implementing salary sacrifice. HMRC sees an employee’s contract (which is being altered) as a matter between the employee and the employer and is only concerned that the employer is providing the correct tax and National Insurance on the employee’s total reward.
