HMRC has published the latest advisory fuel rates (AFR) for company car users, effective from 1 December 2022, with a rise in the electric car rate
The advisory fuel rates that apply from 1 December 2022 have decreased by 1p for all petrol engine sizes and increased by 1p for LPG vehicles compared with the September 2022 rates.
The equivalent diesel vehicle rate for vehicles under 2000cc and those over 2000cc remain unchanged.
The previous rates, effective September 2022, can be used for up to one month from the date the new rates apply.
The rates only apply in the following circumstances:
- reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars; or
- require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.
These rates cannot be used in any other circumstances. If the rates are used, it is not necessary to apply for a dispensation to cover the payments made.
