other tax indicia in denominations it deems necessary to facilitate compliance
by taxpayers with the provisions of this section. No purchaser of tax stamps,
labels, or other tax indicia pursuant to this section shall be required to give his
name, address, or otherwise identify himself to the Department of Revenue.
