The VED hike has been reversed in the latest Budget as the chancellor confirms that the tax rise on new motorhomes will be reversed from 12 March 2020...

Don't think I'll be going out buying a replacement motor tho' --  'Cos I've just received my Council Theft Bill.

 

 

P.S. / Edit

Of course, Brian. 😉

I hear that MH and van VED will be equalised from 1 April 2021 with MHs being registered as vans.

I wonder if anyone’s considered the slight difference in speed limits for the two registration classes and whether that too will be equalised.

Phew, close thing there, HG.

There could be people regretting buying at the beginning of the month to get a 20 reg MH.

Although the tax increase was for good environmental reasons it was draconian and baffling as you would be paying many thousands of pounds extra for an engine with a better emissions performance. Usually such measures are phased in with ample warning so that manufacturers, middle men and consumers have time to adjust. Good news for the industry.

The pressure groups, including the CMC, deserve our gratitude. So, thank you.
