Get on board with the new rates as they came into effect from 1st June 2022.HMRC have confirmed the latest advisory fuel rates (AFR) for company car users, see tables below. The rates have been increased across the board from the March 2022 rates with a 3 pence increase on petrol vehicle over 2000cc, whilst the equivalent diesel vehicle rate goes up from 16p to 19p. LPG rates are up by 1p across all vehicles.
The previous rates from March 2022 can be used for up to one month from the date the new rates apply but we suggest using the new rates as soon as possible.
A reminder that the AFR only apply in the following circumstances:
- reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars; or
- require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.
HMRC also confirmed that the advisory electricity rate for fully electric cars remains at 5p per mile.
When employees are reimbursed for business travel in their company cars, HMRC will accept there is no taxable profit and no Class 1A national Insurance to pay.
