Overview

• The new advisory fuel rates took effect on 1 September 2025 for company cars as part of HMRC’s quarterly update.
• For electric vehicles, HMRC introduced separate mileage rates: 8p per mile for home charging, with the public‑charging figure reported as 14p per mile by GB News and the Liverpool Echo after a correction, while Birmingham Live lists 12p.
• Petrol rates remain at 12p/14p/22p by engine band, diesel moves to 12p/13p/18p, and LPG stays at 11p/13p/21p.
• HMRC guidance applies to company cars for reimbursing business travel or accounting for private mileage, and employers may use different rates if actual costs vary.
• HMRC cites Zapmap for public‑charging prices, DESNZ for petrol and diesel data, and the AA for LPG in its rate calculations.
