Relief involving sales permits

The Rhode Island Division of Taxation today announced temporary relief for those retailers who have fallen behind in their obligations amid the coronavirus pandemic.

For retailers whose sales permits would normally not be renewed on July 1, 2020, because they are not in compliance with Rhode Island state tax and filing requirements, the Division will automatically issue temporary 90-day sales permits.  That way, the retailers may continue to legally operate their businesses while they make arrangements to come back into compliance during the 90-day period.
