3.  The kind and quantity of all alcoholic beverages sold or withdrawn from inventory for sale, use, or consumption during the calendar month; the date of each sale; and the kind, proof and quantity of alcoholic beverages in each sale; the name, address and Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission license number of each purchaser, and the manifest, bill of lading or delivery invoice number, which number shall be the number as shown on the basic shipping records which accompany the delivery;

6.  Such other information pertaining to the wholesaler's beginning inventory of alcoholic beverages, receipts or acquisitions thereof, sales and dispositions thereof, and closing inventory, as the Oklahoma Tax Commission may by form or regulation require.

B.  If upon investigation it is determined by the Oklahoma Tax Commission that any nontaxable disposition or sale claimed by any licensee is not supported by a valid invoice, or is fraudulently or falsely claimed in any manner by such licensee or any agent of such licensee, the Oklahoma Tax Commission shall disallow any such deduction and shall assess and collect the excise tax, together with the penalty and interest thereon, on the total amount of the disallowed deduction taken by said licensee.

C.  The taking and claiming of any deduction not authorized by law, upon a report by any wholesaler or the failure to file monthly reports or pay any excise tax due, shall constitute grounds for the revocation of such person's license, distributor permit or wholesaler permit by the ABLE Commission and the Oklahoma Tax Commission shall promptly notify the ABLE Commission of all such cases.
