  • Cars - advisory fuel rates for company cars

    • Advisory rates only apply where employers reimburse employees for business travel in a company car or require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel in a company car.
    • If the rate paid per mile of business travel is no higher than the advisory rate for the particular engine size and fuel type of the car, HMRC will accept that there is no taxable profit and no Class 1 NIC liability.

    The advisory fuel rates for journeys undertaken on or after 1 June 2022 are:

    Engine size Petrol
    1400cc or less 14p
    1401cc - 2000cc 17p
    Over 2000cc 25p

    Engine size Diesel
    1600cc or less 13p
    160cc - 2000cc 16p
    Over 2000cc 19p

    Engine size LPG
    1400cc or less 9p
    1401cc - 2000cc 11p
    Over 2000cc 16p

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

    The Advisory Electricity Rate for fully electric cars is 5p per mile. Electricity is not a fuel for car fuel benefit purposes.
