Authorities in North Chungcheong Province plan to inspect 60 campsites and 60 online platforms for compliance and propose a mandatory standard contract for the sector.

German Federal Fiscal Court: Luxury motorhome sales can be tax-exempt

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.

South Korea introduces fines for long-term parking of motorhomes and caravans on free public lots

Starting August 28, amendments to the Parking Lot Act in South Korea impose fines of up to 1 million won (approx. $750) for parking a motorhome or caravan on a free public lot for more than one consecutive month without a valid reason. Blocking a parking lot entrance now carries a fine of up to 5 million won (approx. $3,750) and possible towing. Previously, owners could avoid penalties by moving their vehicle within the same lot; now enforcement covers the entire lot. However, experts warn that a lack of CCTV and staff may hinder enforcement, and the shortage of dedicated motorhome and caravan parking facilities remains unaddressed.
