I'm looking to bring in my vw t2 trident autosleeper conversion, its 1990 with 105000 mls on the clock ; though its had a new engine a couple of years ago , new paintwork, no rust and is in immaculate condition. went to my local tax office to get a quote who sent off some photos to rosslare and came back with a valuation of 12000 euro and vrt of just under 1600. the guy in the tax office thought this was a ridiculous quote and said you can appeal it , but have to pay first. so my question is has anyone here appealed and how did u get on?

Thanks

I appealed my valuation and got a result:D I've no clue as to what a fair valuation on your van would be,is 12000 way off?

I would have thought closer to 8000 based on what I paid for it and what works been done on it. But iv no choice other than paying it and appealing it

Unfortunaly what you paid doesn't come into the equation:mad: Its what the powers who are here determine it as you've found...

Once you pay up ,you only have a month(if my memory is correct) to appeal,try to get some evidence of similar vans for sale here(at the right price;)) in with your appeal,I also got a local sales/rental outfit to write me a letter stating"faults and repairs" needing to be done and their valuation of the van which was accepted,no questions.

Good luck

I understand it's the open market value but who in there right mind would pay 12000 for a van that's 20 yrs old with over 100k on the clock! It just seems to me some fool just plucked a figure from no where! I'll appeal it and see how I get on
