    Home Computing Initiative quote Implementing an HCI scheme is positive for all parts of your organisation and for the UK as a whole. Talk to the HCI providers, learn from other organisations that have implemented schemes - but above all get started as soon as you can.quote Digby Jones, Director General, CBI.

    Tax FREE benefits for you and your employees
    In 1999 the Government introduced the Home Computing Initiative. The scheme allows employers to implement a tax-exempt loan scheme for computer equipment for their employees to use at home. Many employers use HCI's to widen their existing benefits package.

    The initiative is designed to encourage PC ownership and Internet take-up in homes across the UK. Under the scheme, organisations of all sizes can help motivate and reward their employees by providing home computing equipment with, both parties making significant cost savings by making use of available tax and NIC concessions.
