Annual discounts

[Skiddley]

Guys - some friends are convincing me to get back into mountain bikes.

Was looking at a 2015 Scott Scale (2.3k retail, available for 1.5k now). Just been told by our cycle scheme admins that the scheme doesn't re-open until Nov, which is fine - no rush, but I'd probably then go for a 2016 bike.

Question is; when do the 2017 bikes come out, and when do the 2016 prices drop? Presume the price drops are fairly reliable, year on year?

No, most retailers simply add a charge to protect their margin. 10-12% typically. Got that bit covered.

Trying to stack a discount on last year's model + 42% tax deduction (minus various fees\uplifts).

That's not a restriction for my company, I can uplift with non-deductable contributions.
