Maui to Impose New Hotel Tax due to Influx of Tourists

Hanh Dinh, 14.07.2021

Hawaii’s lawmakers are rushing to allow counties to collect a three per cent tax from visitors staying at hotels and other short-term rentals.

Before the new law, Hawaii had a ten per cent hotel tax rate, and the state then distributed tax revenue to five counties Maui, Honolulu, Hawaii, Kalawao and Kauai.
