Item 1

 
The assessor shall issue a service provider tax registration
certificate to each applicant that properly completes and submits
an application form.__A separate application must be completed and
a separate registration certificate issued for each place of
business, and the registration certificate must be conspicuously
displayed at that place of business.__A registration certificate
issued pursuant to this section is nontransferable and is not a
license within the meaning of that term in the Maine Administrative
Procedure Act.

 
2.__Revocation of registration.__The assessor may revoke for
cause a registration certificate issued under this section.__The
assessor may revoke the registration certificate of a registrant
who fails to file a return with the assessor within 15 days after
the due date as required by section 2554.__A revocation is
reviewable in accordance with section 151.__In any case where a
registrant has failed to pay any tax imposed by this chapter when
the tax is shown to be due on a report filed by the registrant or
admitted to be due by the registrant or has been determined to be
due and that determination has become final, notification of the
registrant by the assessor as provided in this section operates
to suspend the registration certificate from the date of the
notice of suspension until such time as the delinquent tax is

liability crime as defined in Title 17-A, section 34, subsection
4-A.
