If there's one thing we can count on in life and that is when Democrats are in control of the government entities, they will raise and create taxes. Then, they turn those places into sh*tholes. Hawaii is a Democrat-dominated state.
The city of Honolulu may get more expensive for travelers as it will levy a 3% surcharge on hotel accommodations.
USA Today reported:
HONOLULU — Honolulu has become the latest Hawaii county to adopt its own hotel tax after Mayor Rick Blangiardi signed legislation adding a 3% surcharge to the state’s levy on short-term rentals.
Officials estimate the new tax, paid for by guests staying at accommodations such as hotels and Airbnbs, could generate about $86 million a year for Oahu, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.
The surcharge will be imposed on top of the state’s 10.25% tax on gross rental proceeds from hotels, vacation rentals, timeshares and other transient accommodations.
