Drivers are being warned of new HMRC rates that could impact how much they spend on their petrol, diesel and electric vehicles.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has unveiled the new advisory fuel rates (AFRs) being introduced on September 1 as part of its quarterly update.
Avisory fuel rates apply to employees for business travel in their company cars or when employees need to repay the cost of fuel or electricity used for private travel.

The advisory fuel rates have seen a new change added in for the September update with the introduction of public charging rates for electric vehicles.
Motorists using an electric vehicle as part for work will have to pay eight pence per mile when using a home charger or 12 pence per mile if they recharge in public.
Diesel car owners will also see the fuel rates fluctuate on September 1, especially if they have a smaller or larger engine.
To help motorists adjust to the new HMRC changes, GB News has compiled a list of the new advisory fuel rates.

HMRC calculates the advisory fuel rates every three months based on data from other organisations on a per-mile basis.
Petrol and diesel rates are calculated via the latest prices from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), while the UK average for LPG is taken from the Automobile Association.
Advisory electric rates are created using electrical price data from DESNZ, the Office for National Statistics, car electrical consumption rates from the Department for Transport (DfT) and annual car sales volumes to businesses.
With the introduction of the new public charging rate, additional price data is taken from the Zapmap Price Index.
