HMRC changes to advisory fuel rates – march 2022

Every 3 months, HMRC review the advisory fuel rates. They apply to employees using a company car if:

• You reimburse employees for business travel
• Or require employees to repay the cost of private travel

These are “fuel only” rates, and if you use them, you have certainty that you are claiming no more than the true cost of fuel used on business journeys and so will not be taxed on a ‘fuel benefit’.

Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for advisory fuel rates.

These rates apply from 1st March 2022.

Engine size	Petrol – amount per mile	LPG – amount per mile
1400cc or less	13p	8p
1401cc to 2000cc	15p	10p
Over 2000cc	22p	15p

Engine size	Diesel – amount per mile
1600cc or less	11p
1601cc to 2000cc	13p
Over 2000cc	16p

The advisory electricity rate for fully electric cars is 5p per mile.
