New Advisory Fuel Rates and mileage allowances from December 1st

Latest rates show a cut in mileage rates for diesel cars with an engine of 1600cc and below by 1p per mile.

HMRC has published the latest Advisory Fuel Rates (AFR) for company car users for the fourth quarter, effective from December 1st, 2019.

There is a decrease in 1p per mile for vehicles under 1600cc reflecting cuts in diesel prices over the last quarter. The rates for a diesel company car with an engine of 1,601cc to 2,000cc stays the same – as does the rate for a diesel car with an engine over 2,000cc.

For LPG vehicles with an engine from 1,401-2,000cc, the rate decreases from 10ppm to 9ppm. LPG vehicles with an engine of 1,400cc or less will stay the same at 8ppm and LPG vehicles with an engine above 2,000cc will stay the same at 14ppm.

These full rates apply in circumstances to reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars or when employees are required to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.
