Case Notes
Management company for foreign insurers authorized to do business in Hawaii was not an "insurance company" exempt from general excise taxes under this section, where, inter alia, company's arrangements with insurers indicated that it was a separate taxable legal entity. 115 H. 180, 166 P.3d 353.
