Sec. 27. Where stamps or individual packages to which stamps have been affixed have become mutilated, or otherwise unfit for use, distributors shall notify the department, and, if an investigation discloses that said stamps have not evidenced a taxable transaction, replacement stamps shall be supplied to the distributor without cost. Any unused stamps may be returned to the department by the distributor who purchased such stamps, and the department shall then refund to such distributor an amount equal to that paid therefor.
