The State of Hawaii Department of Taxation recently published an updated version of Booklet A, Employer’s Tax Guide. This publication provides detailed information on filing and paying withholding tax in the state of Hawaii.
This publication was last updated in 2013, so there are several updates to the language of the publication. These changes are as follows:
- Quarterly, Monthly, and semi-weekly tax remitters must submit payment with Form VP-1, Tax Payment Voucher.
- Form VP-1 replaces its predecessor, VP-1W, for withholding tax payment remittance purposes.
- Bulk Filing: Bulk filing through Hawaii’s Bulk Electronic Filing System (HiBEFS) is now available for HW-14 and HW-3 returns, and also allows for ACH Debit bulk withholding payments.
- Transmitters must seek eligibility then certification in order to participate in the bulk filing program.

- Tax Forms: The BB-1X (State of Hawaii Basic Business Amended Application) and the GEW-TA-RV-5 (General Excise/Use, Employer’s Withholding, Transient Accommodations and Rental Motor Vehicle & Tour Vehicle Surcharge Application Changes) forms have been removed from this publication and are now obsolete.
- Tax Tables: Adjustments have been made across the board to the tax tables.
