§ 5735.04.

If a motor fuel dealer files a false monthly report of the information required under section 5735.06 of the Revised Code , fails to file a monthly report as required by that section or section 5735.024 of the Revised Code , or fails to pay the full amount of the tax as required by the motor fuel laws of

the state or as may be agreed upon by the tax commissioner and the motor fuel dealer,

the commissioner may revoke the license of the motor fuel dealer, and notify the motor

fuel dealer in writing of such revocation in the manner provided in section 5703.37 of the Revised Code . The commissioner may cancel any license issued to any motor fuel dealer, and the cancellation

shall become effective at the time that may be determined by the commissioner.  The commissioner also may cancel the license of any motor fuel dealer upon sixty

days' notice mailed to the last known address of the motor fuel dealer if the commissioner,

upon investigation, finds that the person to whom the license has been issued is no

longer engaged in the receipt, use, or sale of motor fuel as a motor fuel dealer,

and has not been so engaged for the period of six months prior to the cancellation.  No license shall be canceled upon the request of any motor fuel dealer unless the

motor fuel dealer, prior to the date of cancellation, has paid to the state all motor

fuel taxes payable or assumed by the motor fuel dealer under the laws of the state,

together with all penalties and fines accruing by reason of any failure of the motor

fuel dealer to make accurate reports of receipts of motor fuel or to pay the taxes

and penalties. If the license of any motor fuel dealer is canceled by the commissioner as provided

in this section, and if the motor fuel dealer has paid to the state all motor fuel

taxes due and payable by the motor fuel dealer under the laws of the state, or assumed

by the motor fuel dealer upon the receipt, sale, or use of motor fuel, together with

all penalties accruing by reason of any failure on the part of the motor fuel dealer

to make accurate reports or to pay the tax and penalties, then the commissioner shall

cancel and surrender the bond theretofore filed by the motor fuel dealer.
