Office of the Auditor | State of Hawai`i

We review special, revolving, and trust funds every five years, providing important information on state moneys held outside of the State’s General Fund. This report contains two sections. The first identifies special and revolving fund accounts that have been inactive for the past fiscal years. The second lists special and revolving fund accounts whose balances appear to be significantly more than necessary to support the associated programs.

In 2011, the Legislature passed Act 105, which temporarily suspended a number of General Excise Tax exemptions for FY2012-FY2013. We present the following data on the provisions suspended pursuant to Act 105 for informational purposes should a measure comparable to Act 105 be considered as a response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This report should not be construed as a recommendation by us on tax policy.
