7    Sec. 6. Collection of tax; distributors. A distributor who
8sells or distributes any motor fuel, which he is required by
9Section 5 to report to the Department when filing a return,
10shall (except as hereinafter provided) collect at the time of
11such sale and distribution, the amount of tax imposed under

17records, preparing and filing returns, collecting and
18remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department on

20to the amount that would be collectible as a tax in the event

18Section 5 to report to the Department in making a return, and
19which he had on hand on the date on which the license was
20revoked, and with respect to which no tax had been previously
21paid under this Act.
