The Rhode Island Department of Revenue’s Division of Taxation will begin accepting amnesty-related paperwork and payments on Dec. 1.
“Amnesty is almost here. We want to remind taxpayers and tax professionals that they can use our special amnesty website to get the information they need, in advance, to prepare for amnesty. It’s available 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Rhode Island Tax
Administrator Neena Savage, who oversees the Division of Taxation said in a release. The website address is www.taxamnesty.ri.gov.
The Division of Taxation has already opened an amnesty phone bank, which has begun fielding amnesty questions from taxpayers, tax professionals and others. Call 574-8650. The phone bank is staffed from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. business days or email Tax.Amnesty@tax.ri.gov.
Under the amnesty program, the Division will waive penalties and reduce, by 25 percent, the amount of interest normally charged on delinquent state taxes – no matter the type of tax. Any person, corporation, or other entity that is subject to Rhode Island tax is eligible for amnesty – no matter where that person, corporation, or other entity is located, according to the division.
The amnesty applies to taxes due for any taxable period ended on or before December 31, 2016.
