Fair Motorhome Tax

New motorhomes with a Euro 6d/2 engine registered after 1st September 2019 are no longer subject to a commercial vehicle tax band in the UK.

For the purposes of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) they are now taxed as a car  and the tax payable on first registration has been increased by 705%. Motorhomes are derived from commercial base vehicles and applying the car taxation system is not an appropriate measure.

Peter Aldous said:
“A motorhome is not a car and is generally used for a short period each year. This large increase in vehicle excise duty on motorhomes is having a disproportionate impact on manufacturers and the tourism industry.”
