The fuel rates for company cars have been revised by HMRC.

The new rates apply to all journeys on or after 1 July 2006 until further notice:

HMRC will review the rates during a tax year only in the event of a variation in fuel prices of greater than 10% from the prices used at that time.

The figures in the table can be used for VAT purposes, although employers will need to retain receipts in line with current legislation.
