Car and van fuel benefit charges from 6 April 2025

tiemadmin • 21 November 2024

The vehicle benefit charges for 2024-25 were announced at Autumn Budget 2024. The government will introduce legislation by statutory instrument in December 2024 to ensure the changes are reflected in tax codes for tax year 2025-26.

Where employees are provided with fuel for their own private use by their employers, the car fuel benefit charge is applicable. The fuel benefit charge is determined by reference to the CO2 rating of the car, applied to a fixed amount. The car fuel benefit charge will increase in 2025-26 to £28,200 (from £27,800).

The fuel benefit does not apply when the employee pays for all their private fuel use.

The standard benefit charge for private use of a company van will increase to £4,020 (from £3,960). A company van is defined as ‘a van made available to an employee by reason of their employment’. There is an additional benefit charge for fuel for a van with significant private use. The limit will increase in 2025-26 to £769 (from £757). If private use of the van is insignificant then no benefit will apply.
