The due date for filing periodic returns (Monthly, Quarterly and Semi-annually) is the 20th day of the month following the close of the tax period.

What is Hawaii’s Sales Tax (get Seller's Permit) rate?
Hawaii does not have a Sales Tax (get Seller's Permit) ; instead, we have the GET, which is assessed on all business activities. The tax rate is .15% for Insurance Commission, .50% for Wholesaling, Manufacturing, Producing, Wholesale Services, and Use Tax on Imports For Resale, and 4% for all others. For differences between the GET and Sales Tax (get Seller's Permit) , please see Seller's permit .

Interest is calculated at 2/3 of 1% per month or part of a month, on unpaid taxes and penalties beginning with the first calendar day after the date prescribed for payment, whether or not the first calendar day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
Are we allowed to pass on the business tax to the customer?
Yes, but you must remember the tax is on the business and not on the customer.
Why doesn’t my billing notice show the total amount paid (CST payment/charges not shown on bill)?
The payment is first applied to the CST (Oahu County Surcharge Tax), including any penalties and interest. The remainder of the payment is then applied to the GET. In most cases because there is no balance due for CST, the current billing notices were set up to only reflect balance due amounts, which is usually only the GET. DOTAX is currently working on adjusting these notices to reflect the full payment and details of how the full payment was applied.
