## Tourist tax by city

### Honolulu USD

Hawaii transient accommodations tax (TAT)

- 11% of the room rate and resort fee

Oahu county accommodations tax (OTAT)

- 3% of the room rate and resort fee

General excise tax (GET)

- 4.712% of the room rate and resort fee

Good to know

The 11% TAT applies from 2026-01-01 to 2030-12-31. Mandatory resort fees are subject to TAT and OTAT. GET uses the maximum pass-on rate (4.712%) and includes the resort fee here; check your folio.

## How the calculation works

### Each city uses a different basis

Japanese cities charge a fixed amount by per-person nightly price band. The band uses the room rate divided by the number of guests, so the same room can be taxed differently for one or two people.

European cities charge a fixed amount by accommodation class or a percentage of the room rate. Hawaii adds percentage taxes to the room rate and resort fee.

### Comparing with your booking

If the booking site's "taxes and fees" already include the tourist tax, do not add it again. If it is listed as "pay at the property", you pay it at check-in or check-out.

### When rates change

Tourist taxes change often. Each city shows the date we checked it and its official sources, and announced changes are listed separately. New rates apply to nights after the change date.
