(a) Whoever engages in any activity contrary to the provisions of this article, whether without obtaining a license required therefor before commencing the same or by continuing the same after the termination of the effective period of any such license, may, in addition to paying the license tax, be liable for a penalty of fifty dollars ($50.00) for each month or fraction thereof during which he has been in default of the license tax. It shall be the duty of the Director of Finance to collect the full amount of the license tax and penalty imposed and he shall not issue any license until the license tax and the penalty have been paid in full.
(b) In addition to the foregoing and except as may herein be otherwise expressly provided, whoever violates any provision under this article shall be fined not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) nor more than two hundred dollars ($200. 00) and each day or part thereof that any violation continues shall be deemed to constitute a distinct and separate offense and be punishable accordingly.
(c) Whoever knowingly makes a false statement in any license tax application shall be fined not less than two hundred dollars ($200.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00). Each false statement, whether made with or without other false statements on any one application shall constitute a separate offense.
