- 23-14, Review of General Excise and Use Tax Provisions Pursuant to Section 23-75, Hawai‘i Revised StatutesSummary
- 23-14, Review of General Excise and Use Tax Provisions Pursuant to Section 23-75, Hawai‘i Revised StatutesThis report assesses eight tax provisions, including five General Excise Tax (GET) exemptions, one Use Tax exemption, and two Use Tax exclusions. Section 23-71 et seq., Hawai‘i Revised Statutes, requires the Auditor to review different tax exemptions, exclusions, and credits annually, on a 10-year recurring cycle. We determine that one Use Tax exclusion and three GET exemptions are meeting their stated or inferred purposes, and that one GET exemption no longer meets its purpose. With respect to two GET exemptions and one Use Tax exemption, we are unable to determine whether they achieve their purposes. As we explain in the report, making conclusions as to whether purposes are being met is challenging when amounts claimed are not tracked or where no purpose achievement benchmarks or metrics are statutorily set forth.
