The above is usually used to calculate the input VAT that can be reclaimed on the fuel element of a mileage reimbursement to an employee when using their own car or if they drive a company car and pay for their own fuel.

The advisory electricity rate for fully electric cars is 4 pence per mile. Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for advisory fuel rates.

The above rate is updated by HMRC quarterly and this can be found on the following link: www.gov.uk/guidance/advisory-fuel-rates
