Advisory Fuel Rates For Company Cars (Latest For 2025)

  • Written by Katie
  • April 3, 2025
  • Business Advice, Most Popular

Last update: This post was updated with the latest mileage rates as of 1st March 2025.

The table below shows the latest HMRC advisory fuel rates for petrol and diesel cars. These are the suggested reimbursement rates for employees’ private mileage using their company car.

Where the employer does not pay for any fuel for the company car, these are the amounts that can be reimbursed in respect of business journeys without the amount being taxable on the employee.

Where there has been a change the previous rate is shown in brackets. If there has been a change in rates, you can continue to use the previous rates for up to one month from the effective date of the new rates.

Engine Size Petrol Diesel LPG
1,400cc or less 12p (12p) 11p (11p)
1,600cc or less 12p (11p)
1,401cc to 2,000cc 15p (14p) 13p (13p)
1,601cc to 2,000cc 13p (13p)
Over 2,000cc 23p (23p) 17p (17p) 21p (21p)

 

HMRC Advisory Fuel Rates For Hybrid & Electric Vehicles

For fully electric vehicles, the reimbursement rate is 7p per mile (previously 7p per mile). For hybrid cars, you should use the relevant petrol or diesel rate.

Tax-Free Reimbursement for Business Journeys

These fuel rates can be reimbursed by employers without any tax implications for the employee when no fuel is provided for the company car.

Reclaiming Input VAT on Fuel

Within the 45p/25p mileage payments, the amounts in the table above represent the fuel element. Employers can reclaim 20/120 of the reimbursed amount as input VAT, provided the claim is backed by a VAT invoice from the filling station.

For example, for a 2500cc petrol-engine car, 4 pence per mile can be reclaimed as input VAT (23p x 1/6).

Employees Using Their Own Cars for Business

For employees using their own vehicles for business purposes, the Advisory Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) continues to be 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles, reducing to 25p per mile thereafter. An additional 5p per passenger can be claimed when carrying fellow employees.

Importantly, for National Insurance contribution purposes, employers can continue to reimburse at the 45p rate regardless of the 10,000-mile threshold.
