HB81

Hawaii HB81 establishes a tax credit for small businesses that allow employees to telework.

Hawaii HB81 introduces a telework tax credit for small businesses that permit employees to work remotely. The credit applies to businesses with fewer than 500 employees, with a focus on those employing 20 to 99 workers. To qualify, businesses must allow at least 30% of their workforce to telework. The credit is intended to encourage teleworking, which the legislature believes benefits the state by improving job satisfaction, expanding internet access, reducing traffic, and lowering carbon emissions.
