For petrol powered company cars up to 1.4-litres, the rate is 11p per mile, rising to 13p per mile for cars between 1.4 and 2.0 litres.

For petrol cars above 2.0-litres, the rate is 19p per mile.

For diesel powered company cars, the rates are 11p per mile for cars below 2.0-litres and 14p per mile for anything above.

The rates are based on unleaded petrol at 102.1p per litre and diesel at 106.3p per litre.
