SUBJECT: GENERAL EXCISE, USE, FUEL, LIQUOR, TOBACCO, Exemption for Activity in Foreign-Trade Zones
BILL NUMBER: HB 1926, SB 3193
INTRODUCED BY: HB by SAIKI, SB by DELA CRUZ, INOUYE, KEITH-AGARAN, KIDANI, Baker, Nishihara
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Retroactively restores the foreign-trade zones exemption from taxation under the general excise tax law, use tax law, fuel tax law, liquor tax law, and cigarette tax and tobacco tax law. This issue seems to have stemmed from the Department’s misunderstanding of what laws can or can’t apply in a foreign trade zone. The Department seems to have now figured it out and it wants taxpayers to pay for its mistakes…retroactively. We think it’s appropriate for the Legislature to step in and come up with a just resolution.
