Reminder for remote sellers, others

The Rhode Island Division of Taxation reminds remote sellers, marketplace facilitators, and referrers that they must register with the Division and collect and remit Rhode Island sales and use tax effective Monday, July 1, 2019, if they meet or exceed certain thresholds involving sales. 

It is the result of a recently enacted Rhode Island law, which followed a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case known as Wayfair. One consequence of the law is that, effective Monday, July 1, 2019, some online retailers that had not been collecting and remitting Rhode Island sales and use tax on purchases made by individuals and businesses in Rhode Island will begin to do so.
