Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Tourism, to which was referred S.B. No. 3017, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE TRANSIENT ACCOMMODATIONS TAX,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee notes the questions raised by the Hawaii Tourism Authority and respectfully requests the Committee on Finance to ask the Department of Taxation:
(1) Is it worth collecting this complimentary or gratuitous transient accommodations tax?
(2) Since 2011, when Act 105 went into effect, how much Transient Accommodation Tax was collected from the $10 tax on complimentary or gratuitous accommodations?
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3017, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Tourism,
