Re: Hawaii GET and TAT tax on timeshare rentals

Hawaii state surely piles on their taxes to tourists. Would beinteresting to add ALL taxes one must pay to go there. Even rental cars have a "road use tax" !! Now we find they want to RETAX owners of units that rent their weeks even though we owners have already paid taxes to have the week!!!!! Surely this is another slap to tourism. Marriotts letter to us this week must be in response to Hawaii's tax grab again. Most people that own units only rent occasionally if they can't go at the last minute or there is illness in the family etc. I doubt there are many owners that rent as a business. Perhaps hawaii should police those not owners who rent occasionally for one or two weeks. Will they never stop til tourists leave for less expensive spots?
