Hawaii Transient Accommodation Tax Increase..
Vacation rentalsStarting July 1, 2010, the Transient Accommodations Tax increases to 9.25%. This tax is in addition to the General Excise Tax of 4%. Thus, as of July 1, 2010, gross rental income from transient vacation rentals will be subject to a 13.25% tax.
The definition of transient accommodations, taken verbatim from the Transient Accommodations tax form instructions, issued by the State of Hawaii Tax office, follows:
The transient accommodations tax is levied on the gross rental or gross rental proceeds derived from furnishing transient accommodations. For periods ending before July 1, 2009, the rate is 7.25%; for periods beginning after June 30, 2009 and ending before July 1, 2010, the rate is 8.25%; and for periods beginning after June 30, 2010, the rate is 9.25%.
A “transient accommodation” is an apartment, house, condominium, beach house, hotel room or suite, or similar living accommodation furnished to a transient person for less than 180 consecutive days in exchange for payment in cash, goods, or services.
“Gross rental or gross rental proceeds” includes amounts paid to you in the form of cash, goods, or services as compensation for furnishing a transient accommodation without any deductions for costs incurred in the operation of the transient accommodation.
Kauai Ocean Film Festival
Hanalei, Home Rentals, Kauai, Vacation rentalsOddly enough one of the key ingredients to life on Earth is often treated with indifference even contempt, the Ocean. The Ocean Film Festival to be held in Hanalei on Kauai on Saturday July 24th 2010 from 7PM to 10PM seeks to alter that attitude by bringing awareness of the Ocean through the eyes of film makers from around The World.
The films range from documentaries to short films, films about sports, oddities & wonders, adventure & exploration, films exploring cultural connections to the Oceans, the Ocean as a vital resource for food, the Ocean’s untapped potential as a source of energy without the need to drill into its floor unleashing billions of gallons of oil to freely find its way to shore, but the very motion of the Ocean itself.
This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy Hanalei Bay. Spend a week at a Hanalei vacation rental for the convenience of the Kauai Ocean Film Festival event.
