Pearl City short-term rental operators must collect and remit the 3% Oahu Transient Accommodations Tax on gross rental proceeds from stays under 180 consecutive days.
ROH Sec. 8A-1.1 establishes the 3% Oahu TAT on gross rental proceeds subject to HRS Chapter 237D. Pearl City STR operators must register and file with the City and County of Honolulu, separately from state TAT and GET. Because many Pearl City rentals serve transient military guests, contractors on base assignments, and PCS families, operators should carefully distinguish taxable stays (under 180 days) from long-term leases. OTAT fees are in addition to DPP STR registration fees under Sec. 21-5.730.
Failing to register for OTAT, underreporting rental income, or failing to collect tax from guests.
