New advisory fuel rates for company car users
07 March 2019

New advisory fuel rates from 1 March 2019 for drivers of company cars have fallen for all but one class of vehicle.

The rates apply where a business is reimbursing employees for travel in a company car, or where employees must repay the cost of fuel used when travelling in a company car in a personal capacity.

If an employer uses these rates, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will automatically recognise that there is no taxable profit or Class 1A National Insurance due.

There is a separate electricity rate for fully electric cars that is subject to different rules. The electricity rate for fully electric cars is 4p per mile.

The rules treat hybrid cars as either petrol or diesel.
