(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 five hundred dollars ($500.00) and/or 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 five hundred dollars ($500.00) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1000.00). Each false statement, whether made with or without other false statements on any one application shall constitute a separate offense.
