Advisory Fuel Rates For Company Cars
The new company car advisory fuel rates, which take effect from 1 September 2021, have been published by HMRC.
The advisory fuel rates for journeys undertaken on or after 1 September are:
| Engine Size | Petrol |
|---|---|
| 1400cc or less | 12p |
| 1401cc - 2000cc | 14p |
| Over 2000cc | 20p |
| Engine Size | LPG |
|---|---|
| 1400cc or less | 7p |
| 1401cc - 2000cc | 8p |
| Over 2000cc | 12p |
| Engine Size | Diesel |
|---|---|
| 1600cc or less | 10p |
| 1601cc - 2000cc | 12p |
| Over 2000cc | 15p |
The advisory electricity rate for reimbursing employees for business travel in fully electric company cars remains at 4 pence per mile and hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for advisory fuel rates.
The rates only apply when you either:
- reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars or
- require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.
You must not use these rates in any other circumstances.
The previous rates, which you can find here, can still be used for up to 1 month from the date the new rates apply.
If you have any queries regarding company cars, or mileage reimbursement, please email our Taxperts or call one of our offices.
