HMRC’s new advisory fuel rates

New rates. HMRC updated its advisory fuel rates (AFRs) for fuel costs when using company cars from 1 September 2018 onwards. If you wish you can continue to use the old rates (shown in brackets in the table below) until 30 September 2018.

Engine size	Petrol per mile	LPG per mile	Diesel per mile
Up to 1,400cc	12p (11p)	7p (7p)	-
1,401cc to 2,000cc	15p (14p)	9p (9p)	-
Up to 1,600cc	-	-	10p (10p)
1,601cc to 2,000cc	-	-	12p (11p)
Over 2,000cc	22p (22p)	13p (14p)	13p (13p)

Tip. If you don’t think the new AFR is accurate enough, you can work out and use your own rates instead, but keep a good record of how you calculated them in case HMRC asks questions.

HMRC’s advisory fuel rates changed slightly for some vehicles on 1 September 2018. If you feel the rates aren’t sufficiently accurate you can use your own but keep a record of how you calculated them.
