Yea this just feels so shady. Their book values are more in line with dealer pricing and not private party prices. Not to mention it doesn’t take condition into account.

It accuses you of being a liar without cause and takes a private companies word on it. This has no basis in law.

On the contrary, it's literally the text of the law imposing the tax which says that this is how the taxable value is to be determined.
Clearly you disagree with that law.
But its basis in law is the fact that it's exactly what the law says.
They could have written the law to establish a fixed tax to be paid no matter what the value of the car, too - and that would be every bit as much a valid law, if perhaps one unlikely to have passed.

Do you know it was only decided in 2019 that the people were fraudsters while the business engaged in car sales were clearly honest? That creates a system that lets a group claim a value while a citizen has no defense. Again. No basis in law and should be challenged. I don't care if we are in a blue state. People have rights.

You have no idea what the term "basis in law" means.
Plonk.
