Advisory fuel rates for company cars

Subscribe

Many employers and employees make use of the advisory fuel rates published by HM Revenue & Customs. The rates apply where the employer:

  • reimburses employees for business travel in company cars where the employer does not provide fuel, or,
  • requires employees to reimburse the cost of employer provided fuel used for private travel, so potentially avoiding a private fuel benefit charge.

The advisory fuel rates are also acceptable for VAT purposes providing VAT receipts for fuel purchases are retained.

The rates will change with effect from 1 September 2014.
