In Spain, motorhomes are not legally recognized as permanent housing, despite growing interest in this lifestyle. The main issue is the impossibility of official registration at a vehicle's address, which limits access to basic services. The industry association Aseicar emphasizes that these vehicles are designed for travel, not for solving housing problems.

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.
