how muchis the nightly transient accommodations tax ?

[glencoe]

Wondering how you can figure out how much the nightly transient accommodations tax will be for an upcoming trip in July. Reading the DVC site it is non specific and a little confusing. What kind of tax am I looking at for a 7 night stay in July?

Thanks!!

It really isnt that much, I want to say something like $13/night or possibly less. Maybe it was $13 for our whole stay? Sorry, I cannot remember and I am sure some one who has stayed recently can tell you the exact amount.
Dont panic, it is minimal.

Nope your general amount is fine, I was wondering what I was in for and that is sort of like a resort fee other hotels in orlando...thanks!!

Here is the chart with the rates per night for 2017. Rates for 2018 aren't set. The Hawaii legislature establishes the rates each year.

Yup. July is Premier Season so points are very high. Hopefully you will find it worth it. Enjoy.

I think I paid around $55 for a 10 night stay in mid June.

That would have been a hotel room at $5.53 per night in June.

It was a studio.

I can't figure how you did that. The lowest cost per night for a studio in June is $6.18 for a standard view. For 10 nights that would be $61.18.

We are at Aulani now. Oceanview studio the amount goes up for the last 2 nights of our stay because we go into the next seaon but 8 nights is $76.74

This was in 2015. I asked my husband to see if he remembered and he said the same thing. Either way, only a few dollar difference so not a huge amount at all.

FYI - Since the Transient Accommodation Tax is based, in part, on a time share's yearly maintenance fees, the tax amount changes every year as Aulani's maintenance fees changes. In addition, the Hawaii Transient Accommodation Tax Time Share Occupancy (TSO) rate has changed since 2015.

The rate of the TSO tax was 7.25% prior to December 31, 2015; 8.25% for the period beginning January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016; and 9.25% for the period beginning January 1, 2017 and thereafter.

The Transient Accommodations Tax is computed by taking one-half of the yearly maintenance fee, multiplied by the number of Vacation Points for the length of stay, multiplied by the Time Share Occupancy tax rate.

For 2017, Aulani's yearly Maintenance Fee is $7.0297 per point. Therefore, the Transient Accommodations Tax on Time Share Occupancy is computed as follows:

$3.51485 (1/2 of the 2017 MF of $7.0297) * 1 (a single point) * 0.0925 (tax rate) = $0.3251 per point.​

A 7-night stay in an Ocean View studio during the Magic Season at Aulani requires 29 points a night, or 203 points for a week. The transient accommodations tax is $9.43 per night, or $66.01 for an entire week.

I just got back from vacation! We returned home yesterday after spend 10 days at Boulder Ridge Villas. Our next Aulani trip won't be April 2018, which seems a long way off.

And here you are doing math problems complete with formulas and everything. Much easier to look at the chart I say. Totally off-topic, but how was Boulder Ridge?

Our stay at Boulder Ridge was very nice. I posted some Wilderness Lodge construction photos on DVCNews and started a thread on Copper Creek/Boulder Ridge News Tidbits.
