Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.B. No. 1980
H.D. 1
S.D. 1
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1980, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to change the deadline for filing and paying various taxes from the twentieth day of the month to the last day of the month.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii. The Department of Taxation and the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs submitted comments on the measure.
Your Committee finds that allowing taxpayers until the end of the month to file and pay their taxes would assist taxpayers in meeting their tax obligations on a timely basis and would also be consistent with general business practices.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1980, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1980, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
