It is the duty of each manufacturer, importing |
distributor

address or place of business,
complete and accurate records of |
all sales or other dispositions of
alcoholic liquor, and |
complete and accurate records of all alcoholic liquor
produced, |
|
manufactured, compounded or imported, whether for himself or |
for
another, together with a physical inventory made as of the |
close of each
period for which a return is required, covering |
all alcoholic liquors on
hand. However, the Department of |
Revenue may grant an importing distributor a waiver to permit |
such records to be kept at a central business location within |
the State upon written request by the importing distributor. |
The central business location shall be located at a licensed |
importing distributor's premises. The Department of Revenue |
may in its discretion prescribe reasonable
and uniform methods |
for keeping such records by manufacturers and importing
|
distributors and foreign importers.

In case of failure by manufacturers and importing |
distributors to keep
such records or to make them available to |
the Department on demand, the
Department shall determine the |
amount of tax due according to its best
judgment and |
information, which amount so determined by the Department
shall |
be prima facie correct, and the Department's notice of tax |
liability

hearing may be made

Section 8-5 hereof.

and foreign
importer, who imports alcoholic liquor into the |

invoice, together with a bill of lading, covering
such shipment |
|
and stating the quantity and, except in the case of alcoholic
|
liquor imported in bulk to be bottled by an authorized licensee |
in this
State using his own label and brand, the invoice shall |
also state the
brand, labels and size of containers.
|
It is the duty of each manufacturer, importing distributor |
and foreign
importer, who imports spirits into the State, and |
each non-resident
dealer who ships spirits into the State, to |
mail to the State Commission
monthly a report containing a |
compilation of the information required to
be furnished to the |
Department by the preceding paragraph, except that
information |
concerning spirits imported in bulk need not be included. The
|
report shall include all information mailed to the Department |
during the
preceding month.
