Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, every seller shall keep a duplicate original of the invoice required to be made and given to the purchaser for the period returns are required to be retained pursuant to this article. 4.

In addition to any other civil and criminal penalties which may apply, any person who purchases alcoholic beverages without receiving an invoice from the seller as required by this section shall be jointly and severally liable to pay the taxes imposed by or pursuant to this article with respect to such beverages.
