What are Advisory Fuel Rates
AFRs are set for different types of vehicles based on their engine size and fuel type, and they are updated every quarter.
These rates are designed to reflect the cost of fuel per mile for different vehicles and to ensure that employees are compensated for business travel expenses.
It's important to note that AFRs are only advisory, and employers and employees can choose to use actual costs instead, provided they can demonstrate they are reasonable.
HMRC review rates quarterly on:
1st March
1st June
1st September
1st December
When you can use the mileage rates
These rates only apply to employees using a company car.
Use the rates when you either:
Reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars.
Need employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.
You must not use these rates in any other circumstances.
