New appointment

Rahul Sarathy has been appointed chief of examinations at the Rhode Island Division of Taxation.

He has worked for tax-related organizations for more than 14 years, during which time he has gained experience involving the implementation of modernized systems and business processes, including the Rhode Island Division of Taxation's new integrated tax system.

He holds two Bachelor of Science degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as a Master of Science in Taxation degree from Northeastern University.

He was most recently employed with Revenue Solutions Inc. (RSI), where he was chief functional architect for multiple government agencies. RSI is the vendor for the Division of Taxation's integrated tax system as well as its data warehouse.

In his new role as the Division of Taxation's third-in-command, he will oversee the agency's Field Audit section, Office Audit section, and Special Investigation Unit. He will also work on special projects, including a taxpayer portal, business organization assessment, and leveraging the integrated tax system to enhance revenues and improve taxpayer services.

"At this time in the Division’s history, his experience and skills will be a tremendous asset and resource for the Division," said Tax Administrator Neena Savage.
