The simple answer is NO.
But when higher VED was brought in for CARS priced above £40K, it was applied to motorhomes due to poorly worded legislation and took about 5 months to sort out, hopefully this is just an increase in VED, not a redefinition.

Yesterday, I got to the bottom of post-April 2025 VED rates for EVs, and concluded it's potty for a Government that apparently wants to shift people away from ICE ASAP, but I guess the Labour party being potty is hardly a novel conclusion.

However, in so doing I was side-tracked onto VED for motorhomes above £40k and find this current gov-uk page still says they are subject to the luxury vehicle tax. There probably aren't enough civil servants, that's the problem :rolleyes:

"You have to pay an extra £410 a year if you have a car or motorhome with a ‘list price’ of more than £40,000."

I can’t see anything about this in the motorhome section of the document, only in the section for cars.

Indeed. I assume it's an error and an oversight, but you expect better of gov-uk. Horse's mouth an' all.

Do you think this has been update in the last 10 days or as per your words/error/oversight?

Under the Motorhomes Section you got this content:

If your motorhome was registered between 1 April 2017 and 11 March 2020​

You’ll pay a different rate of tax if both of the following apply to your motorhome:​


Clicking on the link 'different rate of tax' takes you to to this link: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables

As you scroll down you get to this:

Vehicles with a list price of more than £40,000​

You have to pay an extra £410 a year if you have a car or motorhome with a ‘list price’ of more than £40,000. You do not have to pay this if you have a zero emission vehicle.
The list price is the published price of the vehicle before it’s registered for the first time. It’s the price before any discounts are applied.
You only have to pay this rate for 5 years (from the second time the vehicle is taxed).

Its a bit bizaare they have written such a statement without it being factual, from a link under the Motorhomes Section, or its as you said it is, or I am completly miss-reading this?

This was dealt with at the time. Took about 5 months to sort out and only those motorhomes registered during that period were affected. Fully reported on at the time.

Unless you are saying this has been done again in the last budget.

I wasn't, but given the Labour party, who are absolute fans of net zero and abhor ICE cars, will be slapping most of the EVs that are on the market with £600 pa road tax because they can, I cannot predict whatever they might choose to do with expensive leisure vehicles running on dirty diesel.

Could I ask, is this for existing motor homes or only for brand new motor homes bought now and going forward?
Mine is a 2019 Swift, GVW 3.3t. I don’t know what the list price was brand new. I paid £325 VED for a year in August.
