GB News: HMRC introduces new VAT fuel charges today with petrol and diesel drivers facing costs of £2,314
HMRC has introduced new VAT road fuel scale charges effective today, impacting UK businesses using vehicles for both business and private travel. These charges, which will remain until April 30, 2026, are based on CO2 emissions, with higher polluting vehicles incurring greater costs.
The new rates reflect a decrease from the previous year, encouraging the use of low-emission vehicles. Businesses must report these charges on VAT returns, and the system simplifies VAT calculations for private fuel consumption. Detailed record-keeping is not required if the fuel scale charge method is used consistently across vehicles.
