TCA § 57-5-414 — Inspection of products, records, documents and premises — Violation

Every distributor or dealer in beer or other such beverages shall permit the commissioner, or the commissioner's authorized agent or representative, to inspect at any time all products, invoices, books, papers and memoranda as may be deemed necessary by the commissioner in ascertaining whether or not the tax levied under this chapter has been paid, or in determining the amount of such tax due. No licensed distributor or dealer shall be permitted to claim any part of the premises whereon the business was conducted to be exempt from inspection as being the licensed distributor's or dealer's dwelling or home, the application for certificate of registration under this chapter being declared an express waiver of such claim. All persons failing to permit the examination of such products, invoices, books and other memoranda, including the general books, both operating and proprietary ledgers, etc., or interfering with the orderly inspection or examination thereof, or failing to file such reports as may be required by the commissioner, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
