German Federal Fiscal Court: Luxury motorhome sales can be tax-exempt
Original source: DieSachsen - News aus Sachsen

Germany's highest fiscal court has ruled that the short-term resale of expensive motorhomes is not necessarily subject to speculation tax. The decision stems from a case where a Saxon couple sold a motorhome for €315,000 a few months after purchase. The court classified the motorhome as an item for personal use, which is an exception to the one-year tax rule for private sales.

Reddit user criticizes motorhome drivers on the Baltic Sea

A Reddit user in the 'Luftablassen' forum criticized motorhome drivers, calling them 'Tupperware boxes on wheels'. They claim motorhomes slow traffic on country roads, block lanes on highways, and occupy scarce parking spaces in cities, including Baltic Sea resorts. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, over one million motorhomes were registered in Germany as of April 2025, more than double the 2017 figure. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, there were 212 campsites and motorhome parks with 27,000 spaces in August 2025, and camping overnight stays reached 5.39 million.
