[Ritaxpronews] Rhode Island Tax News – Regulations filed as final

[Neil Downing]

Hi, Everyone.
 
In response to testimony presented at a public hearing last month, and to written comments submitted in recent weeks, the Tax Division made a number of modifications to its proposed regulations, then posted the regulations as final today. Following is a brief description of each:
 
* SU 12-151 ( http://sos.ri.gov/documents/archives/regdocs/released/pdf/DOTAX/6972.pdf ) relates to the extension of the sales tax to certain taxi, limousine, charter bus, and other ground passenger transportation services, effective October 1, 2012.
 
* SU 12-152 ( http://sos.ri.gov/documents/archives/regdocs/released/pdf/DOTAX/6973.pdf ) involves the extension of the sales tax to pet care services (except veterinary and testing laboratories services), effective October 1, 2012.
 
* SU 12-13 ( http://sos.ri.gov/documents/archives/regdocs/released/pdf/DOTAX/6971.pdf ) details the extension of the sales tax to clothing, including footwear, with a retail price of more than $250 per item.
 
* CT 12-15 ( http://sos.ri.gov/documents/archives/regdocs/released/pdf/DOTAX/6969.pdf ) is amended chiefly to show that a C corporation subject to pro forma combined reporting may file a certain form to request a one-month filing extension.
 
* SU 11-150 ( http://sos.ri.gov/documents/archives/regdocs/released/pdf/DOTAX/6970.pdf ) involving the tax on package tours and scenic and sightseeing transportation services is now repealed. (The tax itself was repealed, effective July 1, 2012.)
 
Thank you for your interest.
 
- Neil
