We collect your tax fees and submit them to the state on a quarterly basis. ITS A LOT, WE AGREE... GEESH! ( 18.712%) It is the same for any type of accommodation in Hawaii. The total Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) rate in Hawaii is a combined state and county rate, which varies by island but is generally 14% to 14.712% in total when including the county surcharges and the General Excise Tax (GET). Here is the breakdown of the applicable taxes as of January 2026: State TAT Rate The statewide TAT rate is 11% as of January 1, 2026. This rate, which was previously 10.25%, was raised by 0.75% as part of a "green fee" initiative to fund environmental and climate change efforts. County Surcharges All four major counties in Hawaii impose an additional county-level TAT of 3%. This brings the total combined TAT rate to 14% across all counties (Hawaii County, Honolulu, Kauai, and Maui). General Excise Tax (GET) In addition to the TAT, operators of transient accommodations must also pay the Hawaii General Excise Tax (GET), which is imposed on the business's gross rental proceeds. The statewide GET rate is 4.0%. An additional 0.5% county surcharge is applied in some counties (Oahu, Hawaii County, Kauai, and Maui), bringing the total GET to 4.5%. When the GET is visibly passed on to the consumer, the effective rate appears as 4.712% due to the "tax on the tax" rule. Total Combined Tax When factoring in both the state TAT, the county TAT, and the effective GET, the total tax rate a visitor generally pays on a transient accommodation (e.g., hotel, short-term rental for less than 180 days) ranges from approximately 17.712% to 18.712%, depending on how the GET is calculated and passed on. For detailed information on the Transient Accommodations Tax, you can visit the Hawaii Department of Taxation website or the specific county websites for their local tax information.
