HRS § 237-29.7 - Exemption of insurance companies

This chapter shall not apply to the gross income or gross proceeds of insurance companies authorized to do business under chapter 431; except this exemption shall not apply to any gross income or gross proceeds received after December 31, 1991, as rents from investments in real property in this State; provided that gross income or gross proceeds from investments in real property received by insurance companies after December 31, 1991, under written contracts entered into before January 1, 1992, that do not provide for the passing on of taxes or tax increases shall not be taxed until the contracts are renegotiated, renewed, or extended. [L 1991, c 286, §1] Note "January 1, 1992" substituted for "the effective date of this Act". Case Notes Management company for foreign insurers authorized to do business in Hawaii was not an "insurance company" exempt from general excise taxes under this section, where, inter alia, company's arrangements with insurers indicated that it was a separate taxable legal entity. 115 H. 180, 166 P.3d 353 (2007).
