Aloha Council Member Onishi,
I write to express my opposition to Bill 165 which would add a County
of Hawaii surcharge of one-half percent on top of the current 4.0
General Excise Tax.
A business that is making little or no profit pays little or no income
tax. In contrast, the General Excise Tax is imposed on every dollar
that the business takes in, even if there is no net profit after
expenses are paid.
Thank you for the opportunity_to express my thoughts on this important
matter in advance of Tuesday's vote.
Mahalo,
Mr. Terry Lambeth
