                         INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING AND FILING 
                             CONSUMER'S USE TAX RETURN 
                                              (Form T-205) 
                                                  
 Sellers of tangible personal property should use Form T-204 (Sales and Use Tax Return) in reporting both sales and 
 use tax. This Consumer's Use Tax Return form (T-205) must be filed and the use tax must be paid directly to the Tax 
 Administrator by any person other than a seller of tangible personal property who purchases tangible property (except 
 such property as is not taxed under the Rhode Island Sales and Use Tax Act) unless (1) the sale of such property is 
 liable to the Rhode Island sales tax, or unless (2) the Rhode Island use tax has been paid on such property to a re-
 tailer who does not maintain a place of business in this state but who holds a Certificate of Authority to Collect Tax. 
    
 The use tax does not apply to the following: 
 Property purchased for resale in the regular course of business. 
 (1) Property purchased for the purpose of being manufactured into a finished product for resale, when such 
   property becomes a recognizable, integral part of such manufactured, compounded, processed, assembled, 
   or prepared product; and  
   (2) property consumed directly in the process of manufacturing, compounding, processing, assembling, 
   preparing, or producing for resale tangible personal property, electricity, gas, steam, refrigeration, or water. 
 (1) Non-refundable containers (including boxes, paper bags, and wrapping materials) when sold without the 
   contents to persons who place the contents in the containers and sell the contents with the containers;  
   (2) containers when sold with the contents if the contents are not subject to the sales or use tax; and  
   (3) returnable containers when sold with the contents in connection with a retail sale of the contents or when 
   resold for refilling. 
 Newspapers. Newspaper shall mean an unbound publication printed on newsprint which contains news, 
   editorial comment, opinions, features, advertising matter and other matters of public interest. Newspaper 
   does not include a magazine, handbill, circular, flyer, sales catalog, or similar item unless the item is printed 
   for and distributed as a part of a newspaper. 
 Gasoline and other motor fuels taxed under title 31, chapter 36 of the general laws of Rhode Island. 
 Property sold to or by hospitals not operated for profit, educational institutions not operated for profit, 
   churches, orphanages, and other institutions or organizations operated exclusively for religious or charitable 
   purposes. 
 Property sold to the Federal government, this state, any city, town, district, or other political subdivision of 
   this state. However, property sold by these governmental jurisdictions is subject to the tax. 
 Property held by the purchaser in this state prior to July 1, 1947. 
  
 Note: Any amount claimed as a credit on Line 8 for sales or use taxes paid by taxpayer in other taxing juris  
 dictions when computing the Rhode Island use tax cannot exceed the amount of the applicable Rhode Is-
 land use tax. Taxpayer must retain receipts showing such payment of tax in such other jurisdictions for in-
 spection by tax administrator or his agents.  A return is due on or before the 20th of the month following the 
 month in which purchases are made, and must be accompanied by a remittance for the amount due. 
 Checks and money orders should be made payable to the Tax Administrator. Postage stamps will not be ac-
 cepted. Each return must be signed.
