E.  If upon investigation it is determined by the Tax Commission
that any nontaxable disposition or sale claimed by any brewer or
beer distributor is not supported by a valid invoice, or is
fraudulently or falsely claimed in any manner by such brewer or beer
distributor or any agent of such licensee, the Tax Commission shall
disallow any such deduction and shall assess and collect the tax,
together with the penalty and interest thereon, on the total amount
of the disallowed deduction taken by the licensee.
F.  The taking and claiming of any deduction not authorized by
law, upon a report by any brewer or beer distributor, or the failure
to file monthly reports or to pay any excise tax due, shall
constitute grounds for the revocation of such person's license by
the ABLE Commission and the Tax Commission shall promptly notify the
ABLE Commission of all such cases.
