    New company car advisory fuel rates have been published which take effect from 1 March 2019. The guidance states: ‘You can use the previous rates for up to one month from the date the new rates apply’. The rates only apply to employees using a company car.

     

    The advisory fuel rates for journeys undertaken on or after 1 March 2019 are:

    HMRC guidance states that the rates only apply when you either:

    • reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars or
    • require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.

    You must not use these rates in any other circumstances.
