[Ritaxpronews] Rhode Island Tax News – reminder about sales tax changes

[Neil Downing]

Hi, Everyone.
 
The Rhode Island Division of Taxation reminds shoppers (and retailers)
about two important tax changes that take effect this Sunday, December
1, 2013:
 
§  If you buy wine or spirits from a liquor store in Rhode Island, you
will not have to pay Rhode Island’s 7 percent sales tax.
 
§  If you buy original works of art or limited edition works of art
anywhere in Rhode Island, you will not have to pay Rhode Island’s 7
percent sales tax.
 
The changes are the result of legislation approved by the General
Assembly and signed into law by Governor Lincoln D. Chafee. The law was
enacted in July 2013, but the two provisions involving the sales tax do
not take effect until December 1, 2013.

Thanks.
