Mettmann plans paid parking zone to tackle motorhome chaos
© RP ONLINE

In Mettmann South, motorhomes, commercial vehicles, and long-term parkers are blocking streets. The city administration proposes a parking management zone with a three-hour maximum stay and an annual resident permit for €75. The proposal goes to the planning committee on June 2. Residents had previously complained about permanently parked motorhomes, but a full ban was deemed legally unenforceable.

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.
