    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.
