resort fee and tax
will be staying at the hilton hawaiian village next August and the resort fee is 50 dollors,however i have read you get taxed on top of that, can you advise how much extra the tax will be?
When staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village or similar resorts in Hawaii, you'll typically be charged a daily resort fee, which is a flat fee for access to amenities like pools, fitness centers, beach chairs, and Wi-Fi. In your case, the resort fee is $50 per night.
However, in Hawaii, resort fees are subject to tax. The exact tax rate can vary by location and may be subject to change, but generally, the tax rate on resort fees in Hawaii is approximately 4.712% for the General Excise Tax (GET) and an additional 10.25% for the Transient Accommodation Tax (TAT), which is a tax specifically for accommodations.
Here's a breakdown:
- Resort Fee: $50 per night
- General Excise Tax (GET) – 4.712%: $50 x 0.04712 = $2.36
- Transient Accommodation Tax (TAT) – 10.25%: $50 x 0.1025 = $5.13
Total Resort Fee with Taxes: $50 + $2.36 (GET) + $5.13 (TAT) = $57.49 per night
So, the total you would pay for the resort fee, including taxes, would be approximately $57.49 per night. This total amount can vary slightly based on the current tax rates or any changes in the resort's policies.
It's always a good idea to check directly with the resort closer to your stay to get the most accurate and up-to-date information on taxes and fees.
