New mileage rates for company cars


HMRC has updated its advisory fuel rates (AFRs) for company cars.  The new rates apply from 1 June, but employers can continue to use the old rates until 30 June. AFRs may be used to avoid potential tax charges that can arise where:

A director/employee puts fuel into a company car or van for private journeys e.g for travelling between home and work, and your business pays for this fuel.

An employee pays for the fuel used in their company car or van, and you pay them an allowance to cover business travel.

In both cases, where the reimbursement rate is made at the AFR, HMRC accepts no fuel scale tax charge arises on the director or employee.

See table below for new rates:
