Did you know that HMRC’s advisory fuel rates are reviewed twice a year, largely to reflect changes in fuel prices?  The rates indicate the amounts an employer can pay to an employee who is provided with a company car for business mileage, without income tax and national insurance contributions arising. Changes take effect on 1 January and 1 July.  The revised rates from 1 July 2009 are:

Engine size                                                Petrol              Diesel           LPG
1400cc or less                                              10p                10p                7p
1401cc to 2000cc                                         12p                10p                8p
Over 2000cc                                                   18p                13p              12p
