New Advisory fuel rates

HMRC has published revised advisory fuel rates for company cars, applying from 1st December 2020. The 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.

These rates apply from 1st December 2020. You can use the previous rates for up to one month from the date the new rates apply.

Engine size	Petrol - amount per mile	LPG - amount per mile
1400cc or less	10p	7p
1401cc to 2000cc	11p	8p
Over 2000cc	17p	12p

 

Engine size	Diesel - amount per mile
1600cc or less	8p
1601cc to 2000cc	10p
Over 2000cc	12p

 

Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for this purpose.

The Advisory Electricity Rate for fully electric cars is 4p per mile.
