HMRC publishes latest advisory fuel rates
HMRC has published updated advisory fuel rates (AFRs), which are effective from 1 June.
The rates bring a 1ppm decrease for larger-engined petrol cars.
The sole change for the latest rates is a 1ppm decrease for petrol-engined vehicles above 2000cc. Back in February, HMRC revised its Q2 rates a week after publication to scrap a 1p per mile decrease for petrol-engined vehicles over 2000cc and replace it with a 1ppm increase, bringing it to 22ppm. The rate has now dropped back to 21ppm.
All other rates stay the same.
The new AFR figures (ones for the previous quarter in brackets) are:
| Engine size | Petrol | LPG |
| 1400cc or less | 11p (11p) | 7p (7p) |
| 1401cc to 2000cc | 14p (14p) | 9p (9p) |
| Over 2000cc | 21p (22p) | 14p (14p) |
| Engine size | Diesel |
| 1600cc or less | 9p (9p) |
| 1601cc to 2000cc | 11p (11p) |
| Over 2000cc | 13p (13p) |
Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for this purpose.
Fleets can use the previous rates for up to one month from the date the new rates apply.
