The Government’s Advisory Fuel Rates reveal how much to reclaim from your employer if you spend your own money on fuel for a company car, from June 2022. These rates per mile cover business trips only so you cannot claim for your personal mileage. In addition, these rates have been updated – as they are quarterly – to ensure they continue to reflect the prices at the pump. There are rates for petrol, diesel, hybrid, fully electric, and LPG cars.
