Hybrid Vehicles: Fuels

Question: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has plans to introduce a specific advisory fuel rate for hybrid vehicles.

Answer

Advisory Fuel Rates apply when an employer reimburses an employee for business travel in a company car, or when an employee reimburses an employer for the cost of fuel used for private travel. Rates vary by engine size and fuel type and are reviewed quarterly. There are no current plans to introduce a specific advisory rate for hybrid vehicles.

The Advisory Fuel Rates are not mandatory. Employers and employees can instead agree to reimburse different amounts, subject to certain tax conditions.
