The Department may, in its discretion, upon application, authorize the collection of the tax herein imposed by any serviceman not maintaining a place of business within this State, who, to the satisfaction of the Department, furnishes adequate security to insure collection and payment of the tax. Such serviceman shall be issued, without charge, a permit to collect such tax. When so authorized, it shall be the duty of such serviceman to collect the tax upon all tangible personal property sold to his knowledge for use within this State, in the same manner and subject to the same requirements, including the furnishing of a receipt to the purchaser (if demanded by the purchaser), as a serviceman maintaining a place of business within this State. The receipt given to the purchaser shall be sufficient to relieve him from further liability for the tax to which such receipt may refer. Such permit may be revoked by the Department as provided herein.
