does any one know how to import a maxi (25 seater) and get it licensed P or H without a band i know that you need to get a band for them to licensed H. but i have seen many times 25 seaters without band that are licensed H, is this possible.
The motor vehicle tax on a 25 seater license P would be extremely high. You are better off buying an old maxi and transferring the Band.To go "H" without a band you would have to seek permission from PTSC and if granted you would have a yearly fee to pay which is also costly.
First of all, importing a used Diesel vehicle to be used for private use can only be done by a registered company. (Not sure if the laws on this has changed yet)
Then you must know that in order for any vehicle to be registered as a private owned taxi it must not be able to seat more than 7 passengers unless registered as a school bus. Special accommodation may be made depending on the circumstance and reasoning of the Licensing Commissioner.
Once licensed "H" however you will not be able to ply for hire no matter the route unless you have a band.
