Proposed increase in Motorhome Taxation

[Skipper43]

There is a Government Website Petition on the subject above. The proposed change will see motorhome tax bands increase by 700%. If you type Government Petition Motorhome tax bands into your search engine, you will get there. So far there are more than 5000 signatures and we need a minimum of 10,000 but preferably 100,000.

I’ve seen this petition on a Facebook group I belong to. What I haven’t been able to find is any information relating to said increase. There’s nothing on the UK Gov website or any other credible source. Can you tell me where to find evidence of this proposed change?

There is a long discussion about this here https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/new-motorhome-tax-costs-1st-sep-2019.201422/
Not everyone thinks it is a good idea to sign the petition.

Thanks for the link Wissel I had previously seen information on the UK Gov website saying pretty much what you've posted. I still can't see how the proposed change will see motorhome tax bands increase by 700%.

Quote from your link....

'from 1 September 2019 all motorhomes in M1SP (special category) will be taxed based on their emissions – this can be up to £2,135 for the first year for the most polluting vehicles (and £140/year thereafter). This will affect new vehicle registrations from that point on, and not older vehicles already registered.'
