Rhode Island: Voluntary Disclosure

The Rhode Island Division of Taxation encourages businesses and individuals who are not in compliance with Rhode Island tax laws to come forward voluntarily to pay Rhode Island taxes. The goal of the Division of Taxation is to ensure that all taxpayers living in Rhode Island or doing business in this state are registered, collecting and paying the taxes they are obligated to pay.

The initial contact on most voluntary disclosures is a letter from the representative giving a brief general description of the company’s activities and what the company is seeking by coming forward. The Tax Division will respond with a letter outlining its position. At that time the company can decide whether or not to disclose.
