Last fall, the Riksdag made a decision to change the tax rules for motorhomes from February 1, 2025, something we previously reported.

9,000 motorhomes are covered
-The rule change includes all motorhomes that have a Malus tax and not just factory new motorhomes. We will repay excess vehicle tax from February 1 to all affected. About 9,000 motorhomes are covered by the rule change, says Jonny Geidne at the Swedish Transport Agency.
News24 has talked to Geidne, qualified investigator at the Swedish Transport Agency. He explains that one gets back the difference for the ongoing tax period.
In other words, you get the difference between the elevated tax (malus) and the normal tax. Since almost all motorhomes have a malus of over SEK 3,600, the payment is divided into three periods.

A calculation example
This means that you can get a maximum of four months of malus, for example:
If you run a Volkswagen Grand California with an increased tax totaling SEK 14,990, you will pay SEK 4,997 in three rounds –
The normal tax is SEK 5,733, ie a difference of SEK 9,257 compared with the Malus tax.
You will thus receive back SEK 3,086 if you have a Volkswagen Grand California.
The reason you get back tax is because you have paid in advance and thus “too much” which means you get the money back.
If you happen to have a camper with a total tax of less than SEK 3,600, you will instead get back the entire year.
