These rates only apply to employees using a company car. Use the rates when you either reimburse employees for business travel in their company cars or need employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel.
You must not use these rates in any other circumstances. HMRC says: "If the mileage rate you pay is no higher than the advisory fuel rates for the engine size and fuel type of the company car, there will be no taxable profit and no Class 1A National Insurance to pay.
"If your cars are more fuel efficient, or if the cost of business travel is higher than the guideline rates, you can use your own rates to reflect your situation.
Recommended reading:
"If you pay rates that are higher than the advisory rates but cannot show that the fuel cost per mile is higher, there will be no fuel benefit charge if the mileage payments are only for business travel. Instead, you'll have to treat any excess as taxable profit and as earnings for Class 1 National Insurance purposes.
"There will be no fuel benefit charge if you correctly record all private travel mileage and use the correct rate (or higher), to work out how much your employees must repay you for fuel used for private travel.
"You will not need to use the advisory rates where you can show that employees cover the full cost of private fuel by repaying at a lower mileage rate."

HMRC issues £1354 Child Benefit warning for parents of teens
More than 509,000 parents of teenagers, who are staying in full-time education or approved training, have already extended their Child Benefit claim. A record-breaking 67% have done it online to guarantee their payments will continue in September. Parents need to extend their claim by 31 August or payments will automatically stop. Child Benefit is worth £26.05 per week - or £1,354.60 a year - for the eldest or only child and £17.25 per week - or £897 a year - for each additional child. HMRC has written to 1.5 million eligible parents reminding them to extend their Child Benefit claim for their 16 to 19-year-old. The quickest and easiest way to ensure payments continue is to extend via the HMRC app or online through the digital service. Parents can also scan the QR code in their reminder letter which will take them straight to the digital service. Are you missing out on childcare savings? 👋 Sign up for Tax-Free Childcare scheme and save up to £2,000 a year per child on approved childcare costs, including wraparound childcare. 💸 Find out more. 👇 Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC's Chief Customer Officer, says: 'Teenagers can be expensive and Child Benefit is an important source of income for your household. As soon as you know what your teen is doing in September, don't miss out. You can extend your claim in minutes through the HMRC app or online to ensure your payments continue.' Child Benefit can continue to be paid for young people who are studying full time in non-advanced education as well as unpaid approved training courses. Visit for a full list of approved courses. If either the claimant or their partner has an individual income of between £60,000 and £80,000, the higher earner will be subject to the High Income Child Benefit Charge. For families who fall into this category, the online Child Benefit tax calculator provides an estimate of how much benefit they will receive and what the charge may be. Recommended reading Families will soon have the option to use a new digital service to pay the charge directly through their PAYE tax code instead of filing a Self Assessment tax return. The new service will cut red tape for eligible employed parents who are liable to the charge. Those who choose to pay through their Self Assessment can continue to do so. Families who have previously opted out of Child Benefit payments can opt back in and restart their payments quickly and easily online or via the HMRC app.

HMRC warning to anyone who uses Vinted to sell clothes
HMRC warning to anyone who uses Vinted to sell clothes As more UK residents look to the likes of Etsy and Vinted to make some extra cash tax professionals are raising the alarm If you've been selling clothes or other bits on Vinted, eBay, or Etsy, HMRC is warning that they're now keeping a much closer eye on what you're earning. The tax office has put £40m into new resources to track down people avoiding tax and they're able to see more information from these selling platforms than ever before. Since January sites like Vinted have had to share data with HMRC if a seller makes more than 30 sales a year or if their total sales go over £1,700 in 12 months. That means if you're regularly selling, even just as a side hustle, your information could already be in HMRC's hands. Lee Murphy, who runs The Accountancy Partnership, said HMRC uses this data to check against people's tax records. For money-saving tips sign up to our Money newsletter here According to Lee if you're over the £1,000 trading allowance and haven't told them you might get a letter reminding you to file a tax return. If you ignore it you could be looking at a bigger investigation or even criminal action. Article continues below The good news is that if you're just selling your own old clothes or one-off items you're probably not at risk. HMRC is more interested in people making consistent sales and turning it into a proper business. But if you've gone over the £1,000 allowance or hit more than 30 sales in a year then you do need to declare it. Lee advised checking your sales history and keeping records of everything you've made plus any expenses like postage or packaging. Those costs can be deducted when you do your self-assessment, which could save you money. It's safe to say that it's better to stay on top of things now than get caught out later. HMRC isn't just bluffing with these warning letters and the fines can end up being bigger than the profit you made. If you're unsure how much tax you might owe there are free online calculators that can give you an idea of what you'd have to pay like this one at The Accountancy Partnership. Staying organised with your records is the safest way to avoid trouble and it'll give you peace of mind if HMRC ever does come calling. Article continues below
