AI-assisted research summary: Hawaii imposes a generation-skipping transfer tax on certain taxable transfers and requires the federally responsible filer to report it to the department by the federal filing deadline, including extensions.
(a) A Hawaii generation-skipping transfer tax is imposed on every taxable transfer involving: (1) Transferred property located in the State; and (2) Transferred property from a resident trust. (b) The tax shall be the applicable generation-skipping transfer tax rate multiplied by the taxable amount as determined under chapter 13 of the Internal Revenue Code, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the taxable transfer subject to the tax under subsection (a) and the denominator of which is the total amount of taxable transfers subject to the federal generation-skipping transfer tax. (c) The person required to report and pay the federal generation-skipping transfer tax shall file with the department on or before the date the federal generation-skipping transfer tax return is required to be filed, including any extension of time for filing the federal return: (1) A report for the generation-skipping transfer tax due under this section; and (2) A true copy of the federal generation-skipping transfer tax return. (d) If the person required to file the return has obtained an extension of time for filing the federal return, the filing required by subsection (c) shall be extended similarly until the end of the time period granted in the extension of time for the federal return. A true copy of the extension shall be filed with the department along with the report required under subsection (c). (e) If a taxable transfer subject to the Hawaii generation-skipping transfer tax is subject to a generation-skipping transfer tax imposed by another state and if the tax imposed by the other state is not qualified by a reciprocal provision allowing the property to be taxed in this State, the amount of the tax due under this section shall be credited with the lesser of: (1) The amount of the generation-skipping transfer tax actually paid the other state; or (2) An amount computed by multiplying the Hawaii generation-skipping transfer tax by a fraction, the numerator of which is the taxable transfer subject to the generation-skipping transfer tax imposed by the other state, and the denominator of which is the total amount of the taxable transfers subject to the federal generation-skipping transfer tax. (f) For the purposes of this section, the term "trust" includes a trust as defined in section 2652(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. [L 2012, c 220, pt of §1]
