The Hawaii Department of Taxation has issued a request for proposal to overhaul its computer system and better manage the collection and accounting of state taxes. 

The project, according to DOTAX, will be “a complete replacement of the state’s current tax system focused on facilitating and accelerating online filing, payment, collections, status reporting, refunds, and analytics.” 

Tax Director Fred Pablo said in a press release last week, “Better management of our tax collections will transform how we work and enhance services we provide to the community.”

Contact DOTAX for more info on the RFP.
