HMRC have published revised advisory fuel rates for company car users, which take effect from 1 January 2009.

The revised figures give about one month's notice of the changes and apply to all journeys on or after 1 January 2009 until further notice. As was done for the July 2008 changes, HMRC are content for the new rates to be implemented immediately where employers are able and wish to do so.  

The new rates are as follows:

Engine size Petrol  DieselLPG 
1400cc or less 10p 11p 7p
1401cc to 2000cc 12p 11p 9p
over 2000cc 17p 14p 12p

Petrol hybrid cars are treated as petrol cars for this purpose.

Customs will also accept the figures in the table for VAT purposes though employers will need to retain receipts in line with current legislation.
