Please note that the amount of tax that counties can impose on liquefied petroleum <br /> gas (LPG) is determined by section 243-4(c)(2), Hawaii Revised Statutes. The rate is equal to two- <br /> thirds of the rates applicable to diesel oil, rounded to the nearest cent. Although the Resolution <br /> adopted a rate of 6.8 cents per gallon, the rate is limited to 6 cents (8.8 cents x 2/3 = 5.8666 = 6 <br /> cents). <br /> If you have any questions regarding this matter, please direct your correspondence to my <br /> attention or telephone me at (808) 587-1577. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> ~ , % o / <br /> ALEXIS SHIOHIRA <br /> Income Tax Specialist <br /> AS4/I[N8-13.as <br /> <br />
