Can you explain the Transient Accommodations Tax?

In addition to the GE Tax, Hawaii requires all landlords who lease out there property for a period of less than six months to pay an additional 9.25% Transient Accommodations Tax. This applies to all leases less than six months, but usually affects vacation rentals. The total tax rate is 13.75% for both the GE and Transient Accommodation tax. As a free service to you, our Hawaii property management team can also make arrangements to pay the Transient Accommodation Tax along with your GE Tax Payment.

If you have not applied for your GE Tax license, we can also do this for you.
