d)         The Department may, after notice and a hearing, revoke the certificate of registration of any self-assessing purchaser who violates any of the provisions of the Electricity Excise Tax Law. [35 ILCS 640/2-10.6]

e)         The Department has the power, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, to revoke a certificate of registration issued by the Department if the holder of the certificate of registration fails to file a return, or to pay the tax, fee, penalty, or interest shown in a filed return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, fee, penalty, or interest, as required by the Law or any other tax or fee Act administered by the Department.  [20 ILCS 2505/2505-380(a)]
