Tax breaks considered for those who trace land to Kingdom


Advertiser reports:
With O'ahu property values and tax bills at record levels, Hawaiians who trace their lineage to recipients of 19th-century land grants could get a major tax break.

After a year of delays, a plan awaiting a final City Council vote tomorrow would lower taxes on certain Hawaiian-owned properties to $100 per year — the city's minimum tax bill.

The rate would apply to property tied to kuleana lands, or parcels awarded to native farmers by the Hawaiian kingdom in 1850.
