| I have a client that resides in Hawaii. I'm wondering whether my Hawaii client is subject to the General Excise Tax. She earns artist royalty income and publishing royalty income from record labels in California/New York, etc. The royalty income is federal schedule C income to her. She's not really "doing business" in Hawaii. She's just collecting royalty checks.
I'm afraid Hawaii will see this as gross income to her and apply the 4.5% general excise tax to the gross royalty income. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not Hawaii will impose the GET or does anyone have any planning ideas on how to avoid this tax? Thanks! | |
