State program allows city to dock tax debtors' reimbursement checks.
If you owe the city money when your taxes are filed, it's coming out of your state refund, according to a report from turnto10.com. The news site reports there's about $15 million in uncollected taxes for 2012. This years' tax bills were mailed on July 6. City taxes are due in quarterly payments: July 27, 2012, Oct. 15, 2012, Jan. 15, 2013 and April 15, 2013, the last coinciding with the deadline to file taxes this year.

The process is governed by RI General Law 42-142-7…

The average U.S. worker would pay $679 more in taxes this year under the fiscal cliff deal passed by the Senate early Tuesday morning, while the average member of the top 1 percent of earners would pay $73,633 more, according to Tax Policy Center analysis.

To the Editor: By now, most readers have probably heard of the so-called “Fiscal Cliff.” By way of a basic definition, the fiscal cliff is the phrase used to describe the challenge that the U.S. government will face at the end of 2012, when all the provisions of the Budget Control Act of 2011 are scheduled to go into effect. So what does it really mean to us as residents, taxpayers, business owners and employees? Well, let’s take a more in-depth look. Specifically, let’s look at what taxes are set to increase if nothing is done by the Congress and the President to prevent the act from taking effect. Well, if Congress and the President don’t act before January 1, 2013, the following taxes are set to increase at that time: Also, taxes that…

Understood, One thing I'm thinking is that these can't be unpaid car taxes that are due, because if you don't pay your car taxes, you can't register you car. But then again, in Woonsocket, I wonder how many unregistered cars we have on the road...
