Advisory fuel rates for company cars

New company car advisory fuel rates have been published and took effect from 1 March 2024.

The guidance states: 'you can use the previous rates for up to one month from the date the new rates apply'. The rates only apply to employees using a company car.

The advisory fuel rates for journeys undertaken on or after 1 March 2024 are:

Engine size	Petrol
1400cc or less	13p
1401cc - 2000cc	15p
Over 2000cc	24p

HMRC guidance states that the rates only apply when you either:

reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars
require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.

You must not use these rates in any other circumstances.

The Advisory Electricity Rate for fully electric cars is 9p per mile.
