    You can lodge an appeal within 7 days of payment.... You will need reciepts for parts and labour... Normally 3 out of five appeals are ammended

    You have to pay the VRT first and then you lodge the appeal.

    Being honest I don't think Revenue differentiate a damaged car from a working car when it comes to VRT.

    They don't differentiate because years ago people were putting smashed bumpers and headlights on and vrting them at a lower rate, then once they were cleared they refitted the good parts and it was all good.
    Revenue doesn't like being fooled and everyone suffers.

    If the tax and the rules surrounding it weren't ridiculous in the first place :rolleyes:
