More Tax Hikes Coming
It isn’t very far into the new year, but already the tax hike proposals have begun.
As reported by Hawaii News Now, Gov. Josh Green is proposing some “revenue raisers” to have resources available to fight wildfires and other environmental disasters.
He is proposing to raise $100 million by either hoisting the Transient Accommodations Tax, or TAT, by one percentage point, or by imposing a “check-in fee” of 25 bucks each time someone checks into a transient accommodation, be it a hotel, inn, or short-term rental.
