HMRC have published new advisory fuel rates for company car drivers which apply from 1 March 2023. 

The most notable change this quarter is that the rates reflect the fact that fuel prices are starting to come back down from the highs of last year. Energy prices are still high though and this is reflected in the increased electric car rate, which goes up by 1p to 9p. 

The electric rate will be reviewed quarterly from 1 March 2023.
