(a) If the comptroller finds that a person has sold tobacco products without the tax having been paid, the comptroller may require the person to pay the state through the comptroller a sum equal to twice the amount of tax due.
(b) If a person does not furnish the comptroller with any evidence showing payment of the tax on tobacco products purchased by the person, it is presumed that the tobacco products were sold without reporting and paying the tax.
