Rayjsj Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just Read in this Months Caravan Club magazine (in Ask your Club). About a change of the way Motorhomes are dealt with for Road Tax. IF your 2013 Motorhome has it's level of CO 2 emissions printed in it's logbook, then the level (not stated) of Tax will refer to that, and not the present PLG or PHG (TC11 or TC10). Evidently this started on the 1st August 2013 !!! why did no-one tell us ? Just re-taxed my PHG 2012 motorhome, and mine was the same as last year. Does anyone know what the new levels of tax are ? might put a bit of a 'Dampener' on buying a new van at the NEC show this year . ? Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_C Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 VED (road tax) rates are given here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rates-of-vehicle-tax-v149 This statement about the change was produced by DVLA and NCC: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From 1st August 2013 a change was introduced for the licensing of all vehicles type approved within the M1SP category and this includes motorhomes/motorcaravans. It is important to note that when licensing newly registered vehicles in this category for the first time, DVLA representatives should only be considering the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for the final stage vehicle. Although, all other CoCs (ie first stage, second stage CoCs) relating to the vehicle must also be provided to the DVLA. Where original first or second stage base vehicles are converted by manufacturers to a motorhome, the conversion process will affect the original emissions figure stated by the first stage base vehicle manufacturer. Therefore, most motorhome/motorcaravan manufacturers/converters do not quote a CO2 emissions figure on the final stage CoC. Accordingly, the CO2 emissions field on the final stage CoC will normally be left blank when registering the vehicle via Automatic First Registration & Licensing AFRL or with a V55/4 form. Where no CO2 emissions are present on the final stage CoC for the finished vehicle it must be licensed in the Private Light Goods or Private Heavy Goods Vehicle taxation class, depending on weight. If however the motorhome/motorcaravan manufacturer/converter has stated a CO2 emissions figure on the final stage CoC for the finished vehicle then the motorhome/motorcaravan should be licensed in a vehicle taxation class based on its CO2 emissions. Where the CO2 figure is provided on the final stage CoC this will be captured and recorded on the vehicle record. If you are unsure as to which CoC covers the final stage approval for the finished vehicle it is the one which has the same type approval number as that stated on the V55/4 Registration form. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 OK, think I understand... looks like the Caravan Club have it wrong then. As long as 'Type Approved' motorcaravan manufacturers DO NOT fill in the Co2 part of the V5, we should be ok for a while (??) until somone in the EU notices. Otherwise looking at the rates of tax £400 -450 will be the 'Norm' for a Euro 5 2.3 litre diesel. Ouch ! Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
