# Registering for a Hawaii sales tax permit

Hawaii's state sales tax rate is 4%, local taxes come on top, and its remote seller threshold is $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions, measured over the current or preceding calendar year. If your business has crossed it and needs a permit, we prepare and submit the Hawaii registration through tax.hawaii.gov/geninfo/licensing for $99, plus any state fee at cost.

## What Hawaii says about remote sellers

Hawaii has a general excise tax (GET) on the business rather than a sales tax. The Department lists 4.5% for retail, which includes a 0.5% county surcharge. Threshold: $100,000 of gross income or 200 or more transactions.

Hawaii has a marketplace facilitator law, so sales through a marketplace that collects for you are handled by the marketplace.

Paperwork only: whether your sales count toward the threshold is a tax question for your preparer. State fees at cost.
