Date: Monday 21 February 2022

HMRC has published new Advisory Fuel Rates (AFRs) effective from Tuesday (March 1) for company car drivers claiming back fuel costs from their employer.

Petrol and diesel pence per mile (PPM) rates for all three engine-size ranges have stayed the same.

The diesel rate for company cars with a engine size of more than 2,000cc remains at 16ppm, while the AFR rates for diesel cars up to 1,600cc and from 1,601-2,000cc remain at 11ppm and 13ppm, respectively.

The AFR rates for petrol vehicles up to 1,400cc and with an engine of 1,401-2,000cc stay at 13ppm and 15ppm, respectively, while petrol company cars with an engine more than 2,000cc remain at 22ppm.

There was just one rate change for LPG-powered vehicles. The new LPG reimbursement rate for vehicles up to 1,400cc is 8ppm, down from 9ppm. It remains at 10ppm for vehicles with an engine size of 1,401-2,000cc and at 15ppm for LPG vehicles with an engine greater than 2,000cc.

Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for AFR purposes.

The advisory electricity rate (AER) for pure electric cars also remain at 5ppm after it was increased for the first time since its introduction from 4ppm when the rates were last reviewed.
