  • If the director ascertains that any person has fraudulently, or with intent to evade the payment of proper license taxes, failed or refused to obtain a proper license as required by the provisions of this chapter, for any one or more of the three license years last past, or for the then current license year, and the liability therefor is ascertained, the omitted or additional license tax or taxes and the normal penalty prescribed shall be assessed for each and every year of the three license years last past and for the current license year, for which that person was assessable, together with an additional penalty thereon of 50 percent of the unpaid tax or taxes.
