A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO TAXATION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 237D-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending the definition of "fair market rental value" to read as follows:
""Fair market rental value" means an amount equal to
one-half the gross daily maintenance fees that are paid by the owner, are
attributable to the time share unit, and include maintenance costs, operational
costs, insurance, repair costs, administrative costs, taxes, other than
transient accommodations taxes, and other costs including payments required for
reserves or sinking funds. [The taxpayer shall use gross daily maintenance
fees, unless the taxpayer proves or the director determines that the gross
daily maintenance fees do not fairly represent fair market rental value taking
into account comparable transient accommodation rentals or other appraisal methods.]"
SECTION 2. Section 237D-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (c) to read as follows:
"(c) There is levied and shall be assessed and collected each month, on the occupant of a resort time share vacation unit, a transient accommodations tax of:
(1) 7.25 per cent on the fair market
rental value[.] until June 30, 2015;
(2) 8.25 per cent on the fair market rental value for the period beginning on July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016; and
(3) 9.25 per cent on the fair market rental value for the period beginning on July 1, 2016, and thereafter."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2015.
