Specific Instructions for Part I
Details of Exemptions/Deductions (ED)
Note: Most ordinary business expenses are NOT DEDUCTIBLE (e.g., materials, supplies, etc.) on your general excise tax return.
You must explain your exemptions and deductions by tax District, otherwise they will be disallowed and you will owe more taxes. For each ED code you
claim, enter:
1. For the “Activity” column, enter the line number from your general excise tax return for the activity. For example, the activity code for Wholesaling is “1,”
since Wholesaling is reported on line 1; for Contracting it is “10,” since Contracting is reported on line 10; for Insurance Commissions it is “18,” since
Insurance Commissions are reported on line 18; and for Part IV “Kauai” it is “22,” since the Kauai County Surcharge is reported on line 22.
2. For the ED Code please see the list of codes below and enter the corresponding ED code. List each ED code only ONCE per Activity and District.
3. Enter the Tax District in which the exemption/deduction is claimed. (Oahu enter “1”; Maui enter “2”; Hawaii enter “3”; Kauai enter “4”)
4. Enter your total amount of the exemption/deduction claimed for that Activity, ED Code and District.
Example: Taxpayer A has made a $2,000 sale of tangible personal property to the Federal Government on Oahu. Taxpayer A
enters the following to justify their deduction entered in Column b of the General Excise Tax Return:
*Additional information is required to claim these exemptions. Complete Parts II, III and/or IV.
