At Hawaii Tax Lady, we proudly support a wide range of industries across all Hawaiian Islands. Our team understands the unique financial challenges, cash flow patterns, and tax requirements that different businesses face in Hawaii — especially with the General Excise Tax (GET), Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT), and county-specific rules.
Whether you’re a small family business or a growing operation, we provide tailored tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, GET compliance, and proactive tax planning designed specifically for your industry.
Industries We Serve in Hawaii
Construction & Contractors We help general contractors, subcontractors, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, and home builders with job costing, prevailing wage compliance, equipment depreciation, and full GET compliance on contracting income. Our services include accurate Schedule C or corporate tax returns, payroll with Hawaii withholdings, and strategies to maximize Section 179 and bonus depreciation.
Restaurants, Cafes & Food Service From food trucks and poke shops to full-service restaurants and bars, we handle cost-of-goods-sold tracking, tip reporting, payroll with TDI and unemployment, GET on food and alcohol sales, and seasonal cash flow management. We make sure your books are organized so you can focus on serving great food with aloha.
Tourism, Hospitality & Vacation Rentals We specialize in supporting Airbnb hosts, vacation rental owners, boutique hotels, tour operators, activity companies, and property managers. Our expertise includes GET and TAT compliance, proper pass-on calculations, Schedule E reporting, depreciation schedules, and multi-platform income tracking (Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com).
Retail & Small Shops (Mom & Pop Stores) We assist family-owned retail stores, gift shops, surf shops, boutiques, and convenience stores with inventory tracking, GET filing, sales reconciliation, and small business tax strategies. We offer simple, affordable bookkeeping and tax packages that help local retailers thrive.
Professional Services Attorneys, accountants, consultants, real estate agents, therapists, and other service professionals benefit from our expertise in Schedule C filings, home office deductions, QBI deductions, and GET compliance for service income (often at the 4% or 4.5% rate).
Real Estate & Property Management We support property managers, long-term landlords, and real estate investors with rental income reporting, depreciation, 1031 exchanges, and coordination between GET, TAT, and federal taxes.
Agriculture & Farming Farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses on the Big Island, Maui, and Kauai receive specialized help with farm income reporting, equipment deductions, crop-related GET rules, and agricultural tax credits.
