Ewa Gentry FAQ

Is the 3% OTAT separate from the state TAT?

Yes. Oahu's OTAT is levied in addition to the state TAT and general excise tax; operators must handle each obligation.

Does a platform collecting tax cover my obligation?

Not entirely. Operators remain responsible for filing and for any amounts not collected by the platform.
