(20) Manufacturer's inventory.
(i) For the purposes of §§ 44-4-10, 44-5-3, 44-5-20, and 44-5-38, a person is deemed
to be a manufacturer within a city or town within this state if that person uses any
premises, room, or place in it primarily for the purpose of transforming raw materials
into a finished product for trade through any or all of the following operations:
adapting, altering, finishing, making, and ornamenting; provided, that public utilities;
non-regulated power producers commencing commercial operation by selling
electricity at retail or taking title to generating facilities on or after July 1, 1997;
building and construction contractors; warehousing operations, including distribution
bases or outlets of out-of-state manufacturers; and fabricating processes incidental to
warehousing or distribution of raw materials, such as alteration of stock for the
convenience of a customer; are excluded from this definition;
(ii) For the purposes of this section and §§ 44-4-10 and 44-5-38, the term
"manufacturer's inventory," or any similar term, means and includes the
manufacturer's raw materials, the manufacturer's work in process, and finished
products manufactured by the manufacturer in this state, and not sold, leased, or
traded by the manufacturer or its title or right to possession divested; provided, that
the term does not include any finished products held by the manufacturer in any retail
store or other similar selling place operated by the manufacturer whether or not the
retail establishment is located in the same building in which the manufacturer operates
the manufacturing plant;
(iii) For the purpose of § 44-11-2, a "manufacturer" is a person whose principal
business in this state consists of transforming raw materials into a finished product for
trade through any or all of the operations described in paragraph (i) of this
subdivision. A person will be deemed to be principally engaged if the gross receipts
that person derived from the manufacturing operations in this state during the calendar
year or fiscal year mentioned in § 44-11-1 amounted to more than fifty percent (50%)
of the total gross receipts that person derived from all the business activities in which
that person engaged in this state during the taxable year. For the purpose of computing
the percentage, gross receipts derived by a manufacturer from the sale, lease, or rental
of finished products manufactured by the manufacturer in this state, even though the
manufacturer's store or other selling place may be at a different location from the
location of the manufacturer's manufacturing plant in this state, are deemed to have
been derived from manufacturing;
(iv) Within the meaning of the preceding paragraphs of this subdivision, the term
"manufacturer" also includes persons who are principally engaged in any of the
general activities coded and listed as establishments engaged in manufacturing in the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual prepared by the Technical Committee on
Industrial Classification, Office of Statistical Standards, Executive Office of the
President, United States Bureau of the Budget, as revised from time to time, but
eliminating as manufacturers those persons, who, because of their limited type of
manufacturing activities, are classified in the manual as falling within the trade rather
than an industrial classification of manufacturers. Among those thus eliminated, and
accordingly also excluded as manufacturers within the meaning of this paragraph, are
persons primarily engaged in selling, to the general public, products produced on the
premises from which they are sold, such as neighborhood bakeries, candy stores, ice
cream parlors, shade shops, and custom tailors, except, that a person who
manufactures bakery products for sale primarily for home delivery, or through one or
more non-baking retail outlets, and whether or not retail outlets are operated by the
person, is a manufacturer within the meaning of this paragraph;
(v) The term "Person" means and includes, as appropriate, a person, partnership, or
corporation; and
(vi) The department of revenue shall provide to the local assessors any assistance that
is necessary in determining the proper application of the definitions in this
subdivision;
(21) Real and tangible personal property acquired to provide a treatment facility used
primarily to control the pollution or contamination of the waters or the air of the state,

having been constructed, reconstructed, erected, installed, or acquired in furtherance
of federal or state requirements or standards for the control of water or air pollution or
contamination, and certified as approved in an order entered by the director of
environmental management. The property is exempt as long as it is operated properly
in compliance with the order of approval of the director of environmental
management; provided, that any grant of the exemption by the director of
environmental management in excess of ten (10) years is approved by the city or town
in which the property is situated. This provision applies only to water and air pollution
control properties and facilities installed for the treatment of waste waters and air
contaminants resulting from industrial processing; furthermore, it applies only to
water or air pollution control properties and facilities placed in operation for the first
time after April 13, 1970;
(22) New manufacturing machinery and equipment acquired or used by a
manufacturer and purchased after December 31, 1974. Manufacturing machinery and
equipment is defined as:

conversion of raw materials or goods in the process of manufacture by a
manufacturer, as defined in subdivision (20), and machinery, fixtures, and equipment
used exclusively by a manufacturer for research and development or for quality
assurance of its manufactured products;
(ii) Machinery and equipment that is partially used in the actual manufacture or
conversion of raw materials or goods in process of manufacture by a manufacturer, as
defined in subdivision (20), and machinery, fixtures, and equipment used by a
manufacturer for research and development or for quality assurance of its
manufactured products, to the extent to which the machinery and equipment is used
for the manufacturing processes, research and development, or quality assurance. In
the instances where machinery and equipment is used in both manufacturing and/or
research and development and/or quality assurance activities and non-manufacturing
activities, the assessment on machinery and equipment is prorated by applying the
percentage of usage of the equipment for the manufacturing, research and
development, and quality-assurance activity to the value of the machinery and
equipment for purposes of taxation, and the portion of the value used for
manufacturing, research and development, and quality assurance is exempt from
taxation. The burden of demonstrating this percentage usage of machinery and
equipment for manufacturing and for research and development and/or quality
assurance of its manufactured products rests with the manufacturer; and
(iii) Machinery and equipment described in §§ 44-18-30(7) and 44-18-30(22) that was
purchased after July 1, 1997; provided that the city or town council of the city or town
in which the machinery and equipment is located adopts an ordinance exempting the
machinery and equipment from taxation. For purposes of this subsection, city councils
and town councils of any municipality may, by ordinance, wholly or partially exempt
from taxation the machinery and equipment discussed in this subsection for the period
of time established in the ordinance and may, by ordinance, establish the procedures
for taxpayers to avail themselves of the benefit of any exemption permitted under this
section; provided, that the ordinance does not apply to any machinery or equipment of
a business, subsidiary, or any affiliated business that locates or relocates from a city or
town in this state to another city or town in the state;
(23) Precious metal bullion, meaning any elementary metal that has been put through
a process of melting or refining, and that is in a state or condition that its value

that owns or leases a dam and utilizes the equipment to generate hydroelectric power;
(25) Subject to authorization by formal action of the council of any city or town, any
real or personal property owned by, held in trust for, or leased to an organization
incorporated under chapter 6 of title 7, as amended, or an organization meeting the
definition of "charitable trust" set out in § 18-9-4, as amended, or an organization
incorporated under the not-for-profits statutes of another state or the District of
Columbia, the purpose of which is the conserving of open space, as that term is
defined in chapter 36 of title 45, as amended, provided the property is used
exclusively for the purposes of the organization;
(26) Tangible personal property, the primary function of which is the recycling, reuse,
or recovery of materials (other than precious metals, as defined in § 44-18-30(24)(ii)

where the "hazardous wastes" are generated primarily by the same taxpayer and where
the personal property is located at, in, or adjacent to a generating facility of the
taxpayer. The taxpayer may, but need not, procure an order from the director of the
department of environmental management certifying that the tangible personal
property has this function, which order effects a conclusive presumption that the
tangible personal property qualifies for the exemption under this subdivision. If any
information relating to secret processes or methods of manufacture, production, or
treatment is disclosed to the department of environmental management only to
procure an order, and is a "trade secret" as defined in § 28-21-10(b), it shall not be
