Cars - advisory fuel rates for company cars

2018/19

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 March 2018 are:

Engine size	Petrol
1400cc or less	11p
1401cc - 2000cc	14p
Over 2000cc	22p

Engine size	Diesel
1600cc or less	9p
1601cc - 2000cc	11p
Over 2000cc	13p

Engine size	LPG
1400cc or less	7p
1401cc - 2000cc	8p
Over 2000cc	13p

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