HRS §237-29.7

Insurance companies and the general excise tax

This section exempts insurance companies from Hawaii's general excise tax, except for rent from real estate investments received after 1991. Rent from written contracts signed before 1992 that don't allow passing on taxes is not taxed until the contract is renegotiated, renewed, or extended.
