Transient Accommodations tax increase
Just received this update from Lynda Gill of Re-Max. It's not related specifically to AOBO only but I thought it was important for all owners to be aware of this upcoming change.
TA Tax To Increase By 1% To Help Bail Out Honolulu Rail Project
The controversial “Rail Bail Out Bill” passed the House and Senate and was signed last week by Governor Ige. The bill is projected to generate $2.278 billion, which is enough to show the Federal government that the State of Hawaii has their amount of funds needed to receive the $1.55 billion from the Federal Transit Administration which is needed to complete the Honolulu Rail Project. With the passage of this bill the State now has until September 15 to submit a financial recovery plan to the Federal Transit Administration to receive $1.55 billion in Federal funds.

The bill impacts the entire state in the fact that the Transient Accommodation Tax (TAT), which is the hotel tax mostly paid by tourists, will go from 9.25% to 10.25% for 13 years. This TAT tax increase will apply to timeshare as well and goes into effect January 1, 2018. The GET tax surcharge that ONLY Oahu is currently paying will be extended from the current 10 year to an additional 3 years.
Thanks, Lynda, for keeping us up-to-date!

The information the AOBO is seeking regarding insurance is only being requested with respect to condos in Phase II through V. We are not seeking information from any Phase I owners.

Fire Dept training building 18 July 3
Dear Kiahuna Homeowners,
On Monday, July 3rd from 10:00am – 10:30am , the Koloa Fire Department will conduct a training on Building 18 to ensure they are prepared to service our property and other properties like ours. They plan to use one of the stairways of the building to train the fire fighters on location to access the property and run the stairs with hoses and equipment.
We have already advised the rental agents and provided AlohaGrams for them to distribute to guests in Building 17, 18 and 19.
Thank you. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Warmest aloha,
Marianne Thesken
