Subchapter 25 - Business Corporation Tax
Part 4 - Notice to Administrator of Sale of Assets, Letters of Good Standing (280-RICR-20-25-4)
Section 280-RICR-20-25-4.1 - Purpose
The purpose of this regulation is to implement R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 44-11-29 and 44-11-29.1 that requires a corporation to notify the Tax Administrator if it is selling or transferring a major part in value of its Rhode Island assets other than in the ordinary course of trade and in the regular and usual prosecution of the corporation's business. Filing a Request for a Letter of Good Standing is the required method for this notification. In addition, even though there is no requirement for notification by a Limited Liability Company (LLC), Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) or Limited Partnership (LP) that has not made an election to be taxed as a corporation for federal tax purposes, this regulation shall cover such Letter of Good Standing requests.
