VRT Calculator updated

[peelaaa]

Hi,
I am in a similar position, the V5 cert on an Mercedes E220cdi seq auto says 177g/km, whereas the printout from the SEI website says 167g/km.

Is it worth apealing, how did you get on?

They go from the V5 form. They are obviously relying on the country where the car is registered to get it right.
How can they get it so wrong, they turn round and say the vrt site is 'just a guide'.
I think that is a get out clause for the incompetent fools who work in that revenue department.

I got the result of the appeal about a month ago. Revenue would only take the vehicle registration documment into account as data that refered to the actual car was always used in preference to general information about the model. This was against the VRT website. However they gave me a small refund based on the value of the car which I had not appealed. I did not bother appealing this further as I might loose the couple of hundred that I gained.
