OPINION OF THE COURT BY POLLACK, J. This case is a consolidated appeal from twenty-nine General Excise Tax assessments levied by the Director of Taxation of the State of Hawaii against five online travel companies based on car rental transactions that took place in Hawaii between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2013. The ***FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST’S HAWAII REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER*** online travel companies contend that the majority of the assessments are barred because they have already litigated their General Excise Tax liability for the years in question to final judgment in a previous case. They further argue that the rental car transactions should qualify for a reduced General Excise Tax rate that is calculated based only on the portion of the proceeds that they retain because rental cars are “tourism related services” within the meaning of a statutory income- reducing provision.

  • Here's a Tip from Priceline.Com - for the Cheapest Holiday Airline Tickets, Try to Fly on December 19, 24, 26, 27 Or 28
    Here's A Tip From Priceline.com - For The Cheapest Holiday Airline Tickets, Try To Fly On December 19, 24, 26, 27 or 28 NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 11, 2007--Here's an early gift for holiday air travelers. According to a recent priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN) survey of airline ticket prices, average holiday airfares around the country for December travel are flat to down about 2% this year versus last. For the cheapest holiday airline tickets, priceline.com recommended flying on December 19, 24, 26, 27 or 28. For average- priced fares, try to travel on December 20, 23, 29, 31 and January 3. Consumers can expect to pay the highest fares if they travel on December 21, 22, 30 and January 1, 2, 4, 5 or 6. Travelers who come to priceline.com for their holiday airline tickets can take full advantage of priceline.com's recent decision to permanently eliminate booking fees on all published domestic and international airfares. This means that, in most cases, priceline.com customers will pay less for their tickets than they would at other major full-service online travel reservation services, including Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz. For some holiday itineraries, priceline.com said it is still possible to find round-trip fares under $250. Here are some examples*: -- Atlanta - Chicago $155 -- Boston - Pittsburgh $189 -- Detroit - Orlando $158 -- Denver - Phoenix $215 -- Kansas City - Indianapolis $217 -- New York - Tampa $209 * Sample fares shown are for departure between December 19-24, 2007 and return between December 26, 2007 - January 3, 2008. Fares shown include all taxes and fees.
