These rates apply to all journeys on or after 1 March 2017 until further notice.
For one month from the date of change, employers may use either the previous or new current rates, as they choose.
Employers may therefore make or require supplementary payments if they so wish, but are under no obligation to do either.
Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for this purpose.

Petrol hybrid cars are treated as petrol cars for this purpose.
Where employers have practical difficulties implementing the new lower rates they can continue to use the older higher rates for a further month, i.e. to 28 February 2007, without having to take account of the income tax, NIC and VAT implications of paying allowances at the higher rate. This will allow time for drivers and employers to adjust to the new rate.
This treatment will extend to those employers with dispensations for fuel rates which are linked, usually by a formula, to AFRs.
Employers can however use the new lower rate with effect from 1 February for employees with fuel cards who reimburse their employers for private fuel bought with a company fuel card.
