In an advisory release the division said employers should continue withholding state income tax for employees temporarily working out of state due solely to the coronavirus pandemic, extending the emergency regulation another month. Income from employees temporarily out of state will continue to be treated as sourced to Rhode Island for withholding tax purposes.
The emergency regulation has been extended multiple times since the beginning of the pandemic. It was first announced May 26, 2020. The emergency regulation is now set to expire July 17.
