TAT and State/County Taxes waived for GH award stay in HI?
Globalist GOH award stay this winter: I know resort fees are waived but how about the Hawaii TAT of 10.25% and the State/County tax of 4.71%? This will be at GH Kauai but should apply to all Hawaii properties. Called hotel but got the permanent HOLD line. 
Thanks
Thanks

In a few countries or cities, there are taxes/fees that are not based on a percentage of the room rate or total bill but rather are a set amount per person or per room per night. In some cases, you pay these taxes on an award stay. They are typically categorized as a tourism charge and sometimes support the local tourist office. In some cases, it's a voluntary charge that can be declined at check out. They should be well under ten Euro or ten dollars.
