Motorhome VED change 2020

Hi members,

Is anyone aware of this petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/553905 ?

My wife & I are new to this club (Since Feb 2020 Caravan & Motorhome show) and also to Motorhomes.

We purchased a new vehicle on the back of a visit to the Manchester Caravan & Motorhome show back in January, the new vehicle (Elddis Vogue 196 from Spinneys) was due to be collected in March.

We were aware of the tax increase on Motorhomes from Sept 2019 and expected this to be the new norm. However, we were not aware that clubs like this - C&MC, CCC, the NCC, and Caravan Guard were actively lobbying the government to reverse the "Luxury Car" tax bracket for new motorhomes.

To get the new registration, we arranged to collect our motorhome the 1st week March. 6 days later the tax was dropped.

I realise this will not affect the majority of members but was hoping to combine the strength of this club to help fellow motorhomers like us?

By signing the petition above, it may get a response from the government. If large numbers can sign it the better chance there is.

I hope the C&MC could also publish this link in their magazine/website?

Thank you.
