Navigating Hawaii's Unique Tax System

Hawaii's tax landscape presents distinctive challenges for businesses, particularly because of the state's unique General Excise Tax (GET), which applies to most business transactions and differs significantly from traditional sales tax. If you're visiting this page, you may be looking for guidance on how to navigate Hawaii's GET and other tax requirements. Our SALT team is ready to help you understand these obligations and ensure compliance.

For businesses operating or expanding in Hawaii, managing GET and understanding how it applies to your products or services is crucial. Unlike typical sales taxes, GET is imposed on the gross income from nearly all business activities. Our experts are well-equipped to guide you through these distinctions, helping you accurately report and manage your obligations.

Whether you are expanding your business in Hawaii, dealing with local tax filings, or ensuring you meet payroll tax obligations for in-state employees, our SALT professionals have the experience necessary to keep you compliant and minimize your tax burden.
