Section 5-03-09 - Supplier license required - Filing requirements - Penalty1. Before a supplier may engage in the sale or shipment of alcoholic beverages to a licensed North Dakota wholesaler, that supplier must first procure a supplier license from the state tax commissioner.2. For any month in which a licensed supplier has made sales to a North Dakota wholesaler, that supplier shall file a report with the state tax commissioner no later than the last day of each calendar month covering alcoholic beverages sold or shipped to a North Dakota wholesaler during the preceding calendar month. When the last day of the calendar month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the due date is the first working day thereafter. The report must provide such detail and be in a format as prescribed by the state tax commissioner. The state tax commissioner may require that the report be submitted in an electronic format approved by the state tax commissioner.3. If a supplier fails to file the required report as required by this section, there is imposed a penalty of twenty-five dollars per month for each calendar month or fraction of a month during which the delinquency continues beginning with the month during which the report was due. Any assessed penalty may be waived by the tax commissioner for good cause upon request by the supplier.4. A supplier in violation of this section or who furnishes information required by this section that is false or misleading is guilty of a class A misdemeanor.5. In addition, whenever the holder of a supplier's license fails to comply with any of the provisions of this title or any rules or regulations prescribed by the state tax commissioner and adopted under this title, the state tax commissioner, upon hearing after giving ten days' notice of the time and place of the hearing to show cause why the holder's license should not be revoked, may revoke the license. The state tax commissioner also shall have the power to restore licenses after such revocation. Whenever the holder of a license has had the license revoked for failure to comply with the provisions of this title or any rules and regulations prescribed by the state tax commissioner and adopted under this title, the state tax commissioner shall charge a fee of one hundred dollars for the reissuance of the license.Amended by S.L. 2021, ch. 457 (HB 1099),§ 2, eff. 7/1/2021.
