(a) (1) Upon discontinuance of a business by sale or otherwise, any taxpayer registered to operate under this chapter shall notify the Director of the Department of Finance and Administration in writing and remit any unpaid or accrued taxes due under this chapter.

(2) Failure to pay any unpaid or accrued taxes due under this chapter is sufficient cause for the director to refuse to allow the taxpayer to engage in or transact any other business in this state.

(3) In the case of a sale of any business, the tax levied by this chapter is due at the time of the sale of the fixtures and equipment incident to the business, and any tax due under this chapter constitutes a lien against the stock and the fixtures and equipment in the possession of the purchaser of the fixtures and equipment or any other third party until the tax due under this chapter is paid.

(b) The director shall not register a taxpayer to continue to conduct a business until all tax due under this chapter has been settled and paid.
