Hi Anna, I couldn't see how to contact Tommy de Silva on the Spinoff site, but his discussion on subsidies for E bikes is timely. He should also be advocating (and almost everyone in this country) for bikes/e-bikes to be exempt from FBT. The government make tiny amounts from FBT yet it means employers can't give employees the opportunity to purchase a bike without FBT being payable. Bike to Work schemes are standard in Europe and should be a no-brainer here in NZ.

"It’s worth making sure the chairs your employers sit in aren’t terrible" - should that be "employees"?

Absolutely correct Sam. Good chairs for all but that should say employees. Thanks - Anna
