The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall cooperate with the Commissioner of Revenue Services in the enforcement of this tax. Failure to file such report and pay the tax when due shall be sufficient reason to revoke any state license or permit held by such person. Failure to file such report shall be treated as a failure to file a report required to be filed under the provisions of this chapter. The filing of an incorrect report shall be treated as the filing of an incorrect report under the provisions of this chapter.
