corporation subject to sections 21-301 to 21-330 a notice stating that
on or before March 1 of each even-numbered year occupation taxes are due to
be paid and a properly executed and signed biennial report
is due to be filed. If such occupation taxes are not paid and the report
is not filed by April 15 of each even-numbered year, (a) such taxes and report
shall become delinquent, (b) the authority
of the delinquent corporation to
transact business in this state shall be administratively revoked on
April 16 of such year for nonpayment of occupation taxes and failure to file
the report, and (c) the delinquent occupation tax shall be a lien upon the
assets of the corporation subject only to state, county, and municipal taxes.

tax and deliver the biennial report within the time limited by sections 21-301 to 21-330 , the Secretary of State
shall on April 16 of such year administratively
revoke the authority of the corporation to transact business in this state for
nonpayment of taxes and shall bar the corporation from doing business in this state under the corporation
laws of this state and make such entry
and showing upon the records of his or her office.

that recites the ground or grounds for revocation and its effective date.
The Secretary of State shall file the original of the certificate and serve
