Latest AFRs revealed by HMRC

HM Revenue and Customs has published the latest advisory fuel rates, due to be implemented from 1 December.

Petrol rates for all categories bar the under 1400cc band – which remains unchanged – have increased by 1p per mile, while diesel rates remain the same.

HMRC is undertaking the changes as part of its quarterly review. The rates apply only where employers reimburse staff for business travel in their company cars or require them to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.

The rates apply to all journeys made on or after 1 December.  However, for one month from the date of change, employers may choose to use either the previous or new rates.

Since March 2011 the rates have been reviewed four times a year.
