Latest advisory fuel rates published
The HMRC-approved amount that employers can reimburse staff for business travel in company cars changes from 1 December 2023. What are the new rates?
The advisory fuel rates published by HMRC set fixed amounts that can be paid to an employee using a company car for business mileage, without income tax consequences. It's possible to use a higher rate, but you must show that the actual fuel cost per mile is greater than the advisory rates.
