Germany's highest fiscal court has ruled that the short-term resale of expensive motorhomes is not necessarily subject to speculation tax.

The Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main ruled that motorhomes with a permissible total weight over 7.5 t are not legally passenger cars. On highways, they are subject to a general speed limit of 80 km/h, even without specific signage. The decision was issued on September 3, 2025 (case 1 ORbs 42/25) after a driver contested a €280 fine for driving 100 km/h. The court noted that the European M1 classification does not change the legal status of such vehicles.
