The rates only apply to employees using a company car.
| Engine size | Petrol – amount per mile | LPG – amount per mile |
| 1400cc or less | 11 pence | 7 pence |

Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for this purpose.
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.
The Advisory Fuel Rate company car business mileage rates are to be used by company car drivers and should not be confused with Approved Mileage Allowance Payments.
