The Gelderland court has ruled that registering a motorhome with the RDW does not automatically entitle the owner to the reduced motor vehicle tax rate. A motorhome owner who had paid the full rate since June 2021 applied for the special camper tariff only on 11 October 2024, and the tax authority granted it from 7 September 2024. The court rejected his claim for a retroactive refund to 2021, stating that the discount applies only upon request. From 1 January 2026, motorhomes are subject to a half rate instead of the previous quarter rate.
