New fuel rates for company vehicles

06 June 2011
Issue: 4307 / Categories: News
For journeys on or after 1 June 2011 until further notice

HMRC have announced new fuel rates for company cars, which apply to all journeys on or after 1 June 2011 until further notice.

For one month from the date of change, employers may use either the previous or new current rates, as they choose. Employers may therefore make or require supplementary payments if they so wish, but are under no obligation to do either.

Petrol hybrid cars are treated as petrol cars for this purpose. The amounts can be used for VAT purposes, but employers will need to retain receipts.
