STATE HOUSE — Rep. Jon D. Brien (I-Dist. 49, Woonsocket, North Smithfield) has introduced legislation that would create an annual sales tax holiday. Touted as 'Christmas in July in RI,' the legislation ( 2023-H 5805 ) would create a sales and use tax holiday for the second Saturday and Sunday in July annually, exempting items below $2,500 from the state's 7-percent sales tax. The holiday would not apply to sales of telecommunications, tobacco products, gas, steam, oil, electricity or motor vehicles.
