(d) For each taxable year beginning after December 31, 2023, the director of taxation, no later than December 15 of the preceding calendar year, shall recompute the personal exemption and deduction amounts in this section by multiplying the amount for the preceding taxable year by the cost-of-living adjustment factor, if the cost-of-living adjustment factor is greater than 1.0, and rounding off the resulting product to the nearest $1. If the cost-of-living adjustment factor is less than or equal to 1.0 in a given year, then no adjustment will occur in the following year." SECTION 5. Section 235-55.6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows: "§235-55.6 Expenses for household and dependent care services necessary for gainful employment. (a) Allowance of credit.

In the case of an individual with respect to whom an exemption under this section is allowable to another taxpayer for a taxable year beginning in the calendar year in which the individual's taxable year begins, the personal exemption amount applicable to such individual under this subsection for such individual's taxable year shall be zero. |
