Advisory fuel mileage rates increased
Posted on: 27 May 2010
HMRC's advisory fuel only mileage rates will be increased from 1 June 2010.
The new rates are as follows (previous rates in brackets):
Engine size Petrol Diesel LPG
1400cc or less 12p (11p) 11p (10p) 8p (7p)
1401 - 2000cc 15p (14p) 11p (11p) 10p (8p)
Over 2000cc 21p (20p) 16p (14p) 14p (12p)
These rates apply where employers:
- reimburse employees who pay for fuel for business travel in their company cars - if the rate per mile paid by the employer is no higher than the advisory rate, there is no taxable profit and no class 1 NIC liability.
- require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel, where the employer pays for all fuel - if the rate per mile paid by the employee is at least the advisory rate, there is no fuel benefit liability.
