What is the Transient Accommodations Tax?
For all stays at Aulani, the State of Hawaii imposes a daily transient accommodations tax based on the number of Vacation Points required for the stay. The State requires that the tax be collected from the guest occupying the timeshare and is collected only if the accommodation is used. Thus, the transient accommodation tax cannot be included in the yearly maintenance fee paid by Aulani owners.
The tax is computed by taking one-half of the yearly maintenance fee, multiplied by the number of Vacation Points for the length of stay, multiplied by a tax rate of 7.25%.
For 2013, Aulani's yearly Maintenance Fee is $6.25 per point. The proposed transient accommodations tax per point is
$3.125 (1/2 of the 2013 MF of $6.25) * 1 (a single point) * 0.0725 (tax rate) = $0.22656 per point.
A 7-night stay in an Ocean View studio during the Magic Season at Aulani requires 203 points. The transient accommodations tax for the entire length of stay is $45.99, or $6.57 per night.
The tax must be paid at or before check-out. The amount of the tax will vary from year to year and is subject to change.
