Were there any changes to the Motor Home Road Tax (VED) in the budget?

[VXman]

I'm a bit confused with the changes last year that were then reversed. Anything in this budget? Was the current rate and what about new motorhomes over £40K?

 

[Lenny HB]

Not heard anything but not the sort of things that makes headlines, you will need to read the full budget report.

new motorhomes over £40K?

I'm sure that was revoked and normal rates apply.... £220 or similar.

 

[VXman]

OK - to answer my own question - taken from the Budget document:

2.87 Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) – The government will uprate VED rates for cars, vans and
motorcycles in line with RPI from 1 April 2021.

So I guess that's £270* plus inflation.

*From what I recall it was £270 last year?

It was quickly revoked but if you had bought one when it was in place. Too bad, no refund and still about £500 a year for the first 5 years

I'm assuming it is this bit that applies now (plus inflation increase of 3% for next year I think I read somewhere)

I thought it was £270.
They did say last year when they resended the luxury vehicle tax they said fron April 5th this year VED would be based on emissions rather than a fixed rate.
So if it happens VED on new vans will be a lot higher but you won't get clobbered for the luxury vehicle tax.

It is all clear as mud!

My 2020 registered panel van conversion, body type 'Motorhome' - 3500kg MGW - Private Light Goods (PLG) - 2200cc - TC11 is £270 pa.

The difference is the engine size category, vehs up to 1549cc are £165 pa, over 1549cc are £270 pa

Plus of course, the first registration fee of £55.

I believe they then scrapped the plan to base it on emissions and went back to PLG tax rates - some info here...

New Vehicle VED and Luxury car tax

Is there any lucky members out there who have purchased a new Moho and Know what the vehicle tax is, and also what, if any, luxury vehicle tax is added.

Our moho is a 2001 Mercedes Hymer B680 2.1 PHG 4600 Kg diesel and in September 2020 the tax was £165.00 and has been all the time we’ve owned it

 

[pjay]

So was my 13 year old 3900kg Hymer we owned previously in the PHG category, my new van is PLG.

That is for PHG, this thread is about PLG.

That is about the current tax year if you look at my post I was saying what may happen after April the 5th, which is the next tax year.

The suggestion in this from a thread on the 'outandaboutlive' forum is that it was intended to come in April 2021 but then they changed their minds (back in 2020). I think that is why there is confusion. As far I as I can tell they will not be going to a emissions graduted tax at all but just sticking to the PLG tax as pjay said previously....
