The Hawaii Department of Taxation’s “Tax Fresh Start Program” provides an opportunity for eligible individuals, businesses, and other taxpayers who either failed to file a tax return or who have underreported the amount of taxes owed, to voluntarily become tax compliant by paying the Hawaii taxes due for eligible tax periods during the program period running from May 27, 2009 through June 26, 2009. Taxpayers participating in the program will not be subject to any applicable penalties, will pay interest at a substantially reduced rate and will not be referred for criminal tax prosecution.
