What are HOME COMPUTING INITIATIVES?
Home Computing Initiatives (HCI) relate to the Governments 1999 legislation, which allows employers to implement a tax exempt loan scheme for computer equipment for their employees and their families to use at home. Employers can use these schemes to deliver an additional benefit to staff. The Government introduced this legislation with the principle aim of increasing access to home computers. HCI Providers help implement HCI schemes under that legal framework. They may brand schemes using words other than “Home Computing Initiatives” or “HCI” but for consistency “HCI” is used throughout this booklet.
