Hotel Taxes when using points

[tukogirl]

We are renting points and know we will be responsible for Hawaii state hotel taxes upon checkout. How are these taxes calculated? Rack rate? Point price? I want to be sure I have this included in my budget. Rack rate taxes would be significantly more than what I paid!

I think it's just Transient Tax per night. Based off the time of year you go. This is what David's has about it

Thanks so much, this is great! I was anticipating it to be about $260. So this is way better!

Okay, now I'm thoroughly confused. How do you calculate?

It's pretty straightforward. For example, based on the chart, if you're staying in an ocean view studio from 12/1/16 - 12/5/16 (4 nights), your transient accommodations tax would be $28 ($7/night x 4 nights).

Gotcha! I was making it way more complicated!

Hawaii property tax vary a lot but the highest by far is time shares, so they get it with property tax. Single family occupied pay very low property tax rates. So owners are paying. It's just in their yearly dues.
