Governor Linda Lingle signed into law HB 2169 that lowers the taxable wage base for 2010 from $38,800 to $34,900 or 90% of the average annual wage for 2010 and 2011. The new law also sets the rate schedule to Schedule D for 2010 and Schedule F for 2011. Vision Payroll has updated its tax table calculation for Hawai’i employers and will adjust tax liabilities on the next live payroll for all Hawai’i employers.
