Advisory fuel rates for company cars

New company car advisory fuel rates have been published and took effect from 1 September 2025.

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 September 2025 are:

Engine size	Petrol
1400cc or less	12p
1401cc - 2000cc	14p
Over 2000cc	22p

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

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

You must not use these rates in any other circumstances.
