Agency Announcements

NEW:

The Division of Taxation and the Department of Labor and Training are updating the new business registration online application on January 23rd.  To accommodate these changes, the existing online application will not be available starting on January 21st.  Please note, if you have already started your application but have not submitted it, you will need to complete that application before January 21st to avoid losing any information in the application.

UPDATE: Licensing and enforcement of ENDS products

The Division of Taxation has posted the list of Rhode Island-licensed distributors with a unified cigarette, tobacco, and electronic nicotine-delivery system (ENDS) products license.  Rhode Island retailers/dealers are required to purchase these products, except for cigars, from only Rhode Island-licensed distributors.  The list is available at Unified License List - January 2025 and under Miscellaneous Links on the Division’s ENDS tax webpage.

Licensing and enforcement of Electronic Nicotine-Delivery System (ENDS) products, also known as ecigarettes or vapes, are being transitioned to the Rhode Island Division of Taxation.  For more information, please see the Division’s Notice and/or visit the ENDS tax webpage.
