A transferee or auctioneer in a bulk transfer, as defined in § 6-102 of the Commercial Law Article, shall mail to the Comptroller the notice to creditors, as required in §§ 6-107 and 6-108 of the Commercial Law Article, whether or not: the transferor lists the Comptroller as a creditor; or the transferee or auctioneer knows that the transferor owes any sales and use tax. If the Comptroller finds that the transferor owes sales and use tax, the Comptroller shall file a claim for sales and use tax due from the transferor at the address required in the notice to creditors. If the Comptroller files a claim under subsection (b) of this section, the transferee or auctioneer shall withhold the amount stated in the claim from distribution to the transferor.
