Beginning January 1, 2007, individuals who incur capital gains for capital assets held more than five years will be taxed at a new rate in Rhode Island. Legislation enacted in 2001 by the Rhode Island General Assembly changed the tax rate assessed on individual taxpayers for certain capital gains transactions (RIGL 44-30-2.7). The legislation deferred the effective date of the change until January 1, 2007.
