Hello everyone,
My car was damaged. The question of guilt is clear.
Now the report came and the situation looks like this (rounded example values to make calculations easier):
Replacement value including VAT: 40,000.-
Repair costs including VAT: 25000,-
Residual value including VAT: 16000,-
Depreciation: 2000,-
Theoretically, there is a total economic loss: 25,000 + 16,000 = 41,000 and that is greater than 40,000 of the replacement value.
The appraiser says that the car can also be repaired without any problems.
If I decide to purchase a new one, I would have to ask the insurance company for a fictitious bill, right?
Then the insurance will only pay out the repair costs excluding VAT.
How do I get the VAT on the repair costs back if I buy a replacement car from the dealer?
And what are the deadlines for purchasing a replacement vehicle?
Thanks.
