VED On New Motorhome

[potus4388]

Can anyone confirm what the above rate will be on a new registered motorhome?

Do the new rules that came into effect last year mean that in addition the the first year rate, an extra 'diesel supplement' will be applied for a number of years?

My motorhome has been written off and it looks as though my insurance company will replace it but I am wondering if I will fall foul of the new rules? It will be under 3500kgs and emissions will not be on the COC but will cost more than £40000

Not sure what fed is IF it’s road tax you mean , My road tax is £170 a year , registered in September this year , I’m 5 ton (£85,000 ) with no emissions on coc , I think under 3500 may have a higher road tax but not the added duty for the additional 4 years after the first year , hope this is what you want to know & I’m not way off the mark lol

Luckily on a Motorhome you’ll pay the old rate road fund licence

Unlike my latest purchase a ford custom Torneo 9 seats.

They call it a car and not commercial and for this reason and it being £42.000 list price, although I paid £33,000 I have to pay over £1,500 per year.

Funny thing is when it goes into my Local Ford garage for service they say we only wash cars and not commercial vehicles!!

The UK’s current VED system is explained here

Where UK-registration of new MOTOR CARAVANS is concerned the critical criteria are the vehicle’s Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) and whether there is a CO2 emissions figure on the vehicle’s final Certificate of Conformity (CofC).

 

VED involving the CO2 emissions figure APPLIES ONLY if the vehicle's MAM DOES NOT exceed 3500kg.

 

If a new motor caravan’s MAM DOES EXCEED 3500kg it should be registered in Tax Class 10 (Private HGV) at a current annual cost of £165. (This is irrespective of whether or not its final CofC carries a CO2 figure.)

if a new motor caravan’s MAM DOES NOT exceed 3500kg and its final CofC DOES NOT carry a CO2 figure, the vehicle should be registered in Tax Class 11 (Private/light goods vehicle) at a current annual cost of £255 if its motor’s capacity exceeds 1549cc, or £155 if its motor’s capacity does not exceed 1549cc.

if a new motor caravan’s MAM DOES NOT exceed 3500kg and its final CofC DOES carry a CO2 figure, the vehicle should be registered in the appropriate emissions-related VED class based on the vehicle’s final CofC’s CO2 figure, and an additional charge will apply if the motor caravan’s list-price exceeds £40,000
