If you are, then the 2026 Tacoma Fall RV Show is the perfect time to purchase and avoid the upcoming tax that will go into effect on January 1, 2027.
More information on this new tax is below. Dealers at the show will also be on hand to answer any questions about it.
Starting January 1, 2026, the state of Washington will impose an additional 8% tax on the selling price of a motor vehicle that exceeds $100,000. This is in addition to the existing general sales tax. The luxury tax also applies to the fair market value of a leased vehicle over $100,000.
While it may seem aimed at exotic sports cars and luxury sedans or SUVs, it also applies to motor homes. There will also be an additional 0.5% tax on watercraft and, beginning April 1, a 10% tax on most non-commercial aircraft sales. However, the 8% tax on motor vehicles over $100,000 is likely to have the greatest impact on Valley RV Supercenter customers purchasing motor homes.
The tax applies only to the amount of the selling price over $100,000. A vehicle sold for $110,000 would be taxed on $10,000, resulting in $800. If $90,000 is paid after trading in a $30,000 vehicle, the tax applies to $20,000 and would be $1,600. If you purchase an RV at $150,000 after the tax takes effect, you would pay an extra $4,000 in taxes. In King County, the sales tax increase from 10.5% to 10.7% would add another 0.2%, or $300.
