280-RICR-20-00-6 ACTIVE RULE
The purpose of this regulation is to allow the Tax Administrator to, pursuant to R. I. Gen. Laws § 44-1-10, with the approval of the Director of Revenue, compromise, abate, or cancel any tax, excise, fee, penalty, interest or other charge payable to the Tax Administrator if he/she determines that said charge is uncollectible, illegal or excessive in whole or in part.
This regulation is promulgated pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 4-1-4 and 44-1-10. These rules have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 42-35-1 et seq.
The terms and provisions of these rules and regulations shall be liberally construed to permit the Department of Revenue to effectuate the purpose of R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-1-10 and other applicable state laws and regulations.
6.5	Form RI 656
A.	A taxpayer may propose an offer in compromise by filing Form RI 656 with the Tax Administrator. The offer, in addition to taxpayer identification, shall set forth:
1.	type(s) of tax;
2.	the amount of offer in compromise;
3.	reasons for the offer in compromise and
4.	any information relating to offers in compromise submitted to the Internal Revenue Service.
6.6	Form RI 433
When making such offer, or within ten (10) days from the date of application, the taxpayer shall submit a completed Rhode Island Form 433.
6.7	Withdrawal, Rejection or Acceptance of Offer
The offer may be withdrawn by the taxpayer at any time prior to its acceptance. If the offer is rejected, the taxpayer will be notified by the Tax Administrator in writing, and if payment of the compromise offer was made at the time of application, the payment remitted with the proposed compromise will be returned to the taxpayer without interest. An offer is considered accepted only when the taxpayer is notified in writing of its acceptance. Full payment must be made within thirty (30) days from date of notification that the offer is accepted. Accepting or rejecting an offer in compromise is a discretionary determination that does not give rise to a cause of action.
