New Advisory Fuel Rates from 1 March

HM Revenue & Customs has released the new rates that apply from 1 March 2021. The previous Advisory Fuel Rates (AFR) can be used for up to one month from this date.

For petrol company cars, the rates for both engines from 1401cc to 2000cc and over 2000cc go up by 1p, to 12ppm and 18ppm respectively. 

There are two changes for diesels, the rate for engines of 1600cc or less goes up by 1p, as does the rate for engines from 1601cc to 2000cc. They’re now 9ppm and 11ppm respectively. 

All other rates including all the LPG rates stay the same. 

Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for AFR purposes 

The Advisory Electricity Rate (AER) for plug-in cars remains unchanged at 4 pence per mile.
