Advisory fuel rates (AFRs) are recommended reimbursement figures for drivers reclaiming business mileage, usually for those in company vehicles. The advisory fuel rate is updated by HMRC based on fuel prices every quarter, and publish revised figures if required in late February, May, August and November each year
Why This Matters:
For Employers:
Staying compliant with HMRC’s AFRs is crucial to avoid any errors. Accurate reimbursement ensures that employees are fairly compensated for their business travel expenses without overburdening the company’s finances.
For Employees:
Understanding the revised rates helps employees accurately claim their fuel expenses and ensures they are not out-of-pocket for business travel. It also clarifies their obligations when it comes to repaying costs for private travel.
Next Steps:
Review and Adjust Policies: Employers should review their current reimbursement policies and adjust them according to the new AFRs.
Communicate with Employees: Ensure that all employees are aware of the new rates and understand how to claim their expenses correctly.
Stay Informed: Since these rates are reviewed quarterly, it is important to stay updated on any further changes to avoid non-compliance.
