99. Transfer of business by registered dealers

Where the ownership of the business of a registered dealer is transferred absolutely by sale, gift, bequest, inheritance or otherwise, or transferred by way of lease, and the transferee or the lessee carries on such business, either in its old name or in some other name, the transferee or the lessee shall, for all the purposes of this Act (except for the liabilities under this Act already discharged by such dealer), be deemed to be and to have always been registered (in the case of a lease for so long as the lease subsists) as if the certificate of registration of such dealer had initially been granted to the transferee or the lessee; and the transferee or the lessee shall, on application to the Commissioner, be entitled to have the certificate of registration amended accordingly.
