AER masterclass: navigating the two-tier reimbursement rate
We are joining forces with Fleet News to bring you a webinar on navigating the two-tier reimbursement rate.
The Association of Fleet Professionals, together with BVRLA and other key stakeholders, has been lobbying for a fairer reimbursement rate for electric car business mileage ever since the introduction of the Advisory Electric Rate (AER) in 2018.
In response, the Government has now introduced a two-tier AER with an 8p per mile home charging rate and 14p per mile for business journeys fuelled by public charging.
But how should fleets integrate these new rates into their reimbursement policies while staying compliant with HMRC rules – and are better alternatives available?
This webinar will bring together tax experts, fleets and the AFP, and chaired by Fleet News editor Stephen Briers to answer these key questions, discuss next steps and provide vital advice on running a compliant AER policy.
If you can’t attend live, register now, and we’ll send you the on-demand recording later.
