Recreational vehicle and camper tax calculator for Germany
In Germany, motorhomes and recreational vehicles are subject to taxes. The amount of tax depends on the total weight permitted under traffic law and the pollutant class. With these values, the expected tax for your motor home can be calculated quickly and individually by our camper tax calculator. For the pollutant class you need the “emission key number” (Schadstoff-Schlüsselnummer). You will find this in your vehicle documents. With the pollutant key number you can then quickly determine the respective pollutant class (S1-S6, EEV and others) on the Internet.
Important factors for the camper tax
The decisive factors for taxation are weight and pollutant classification.There are five pollutant classifications (Schadstoffklassen) for these vehicles, which can be called indefinite or S2 to S4. The tax is calculated per 200 kg or part thereof and changes with the permissible total weight and the pollutant class. Tax per started 200 kg in weight:
- Pollutant class S4, Permissible total weight up to 2 t (Schadstoffklasse S4, zul. Gesamtgewicht bis 2 t): 16 €
- Pollutant class S2, S3, Permissible total weight up to 2 t (Schadstoffklasse S2, S3, zul. Gesamtgewicht bis 2 t): 24 €
- Pollutant class S2, S3, S4, Permissible total weight above 2 t (Schadstoffklasse S2, S3, S4, zul. Gesamtgewicht über 2 t): 10 €
- Pollutant class indefinite, Permissible total weight up to 2 t (Schadstoffklasse unbestimmt, zul. Gesamtgewicht bis 2 t): 40 €
- Pollutant class indefinite, Permissible total weight 2 - 5 t (Schadstoffklasse unbestimmt, zul. Gesamtgewicht bis 2 - 5 t): 10 €
- Pollutant class indefinite, Permissible total weight 5 - 12 t (Schadstoffklasse unbestimmt, zul. Gesamtgewicht bis 5 - 12 t): 15 €
- Pollutant class indefinite, Permissible total weight aboce 12 t (Schadstoffklasse unbestimmt, zul. Gesamtgewicht über 12 t): 25 €
Following maximum rates exists for the tax on RV:
| Emission class | Maximium rate |
|---|---|
| S4 | 800,00 € |
| S2 or S3 | 1000,00 € |
| all other | unlimited |
How is the pollutant class determined?
The permissible total weight and the pollutant class can be taken from the registration papers. The weight is easy to find, but the pollutant class is not. It must be evaluated from certain key numbers (Schlüsselnummer) of the registration certificate part 1 (formerly the vehicle registration document). This key number can be found in field 14.1. In the following overview you can see which correspondences exist. If you cannot find your key number here, the vehicle falls into the most expensive category of taxes for motorhomes.
