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.

“Screw the lineup. Camping is awesome”: They pay 5000 euros for it

Members of the “Chaos” camp at the Airbeat One festival in Neustadt-Glewe spend about 5,000 euros on their own campsite party. Each of the 70 members pays a 70-euro fee, covering over 50 parking tickets, a stage, sound equipment, and appliances. Organizer Ove Hansen says the group values the camping atmosphere more than the festival’s musical lineup.
