New Advisory fuel rates
My employees have company cars, what are the new advisory fuel rates that they should be using to repay private fuel costs?
The advisory fuel rates are reviewed by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) quarterly. The following rates are to be used only where employers either reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars or require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.
The advisory electricity rate for fully electric cars is 9p per mile.
Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for advisory fuel rates.
You can use the previous rates (from1st December 2023) for up to 1 month from the date any new rates apply.
The following rates apply from 1st March 2024:
Engine size | Petrol - amount per mile | LPG - amount per mile |
