Change in bonus rates for SAYE schemes

HMRC has set revised bonus rates and an updated early leaver rate for save as you earn (SAYE) arrangements, to be applied to fresh invitations issued from 16 August 2024. This follows last year’s introduction of an automatic SAYE bonus rate mechanism, calculated by reference to the Bank of England base rate (see: Share Incentives weekly highlights—1 June 2023—SAYE Schemes). In light of last week’s change to the base rate, HMRC has confirmed the following SAYE figures:

  • three-year SAYE savings contract bonus: 1.1 times one monthly contribution
  • five-year SAYE savings contract bonus: 3.0 times one monthly contribution
  • early leaver rate: 1.33%

These rates take effect from 16 August 2024, and employees already saving under existing SAYE contracts will not be impacted. For general guidance on SAYE schemes (with links to more detailed resources), see Practice Note: How SAYE schemes work and key features...

Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
