If any licensee shall fail in any calendar month to pay when due the tax owed by the licensee on alcoholic beverages sold by the licensee in the preceding calendar month, the OTR may, in its discretion, as security for the payment of the tax on alcoholic beverages for which the licensee may thereafter be liable, do the following:
Upon any failure of the licensee making a deposit to pay when due any tax thereafter owed by the licensee on alcoholic beverages, the OTR shall apply the deposit to the payment of the delinquent tax, and the licensee shall, within seventy-two (72) hours after receipt of a written notice from the OTR to the licensee of the application of the deposit to the payment of the tax, again deposit with the D.C. Treasurer, in cash, an amount equal to the amount so applied.
