Applicant: SA CEZAM
Defendant: État belge
Article 273 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax and the principles of proportionality and fiscal neutrality
must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation pursuant to which the failure to comply with the obligation to declare and pay value added tax (VAT) to the Treasury is penalised by a flat-rate fine amounting to 20 % of the amount of VAT which would have been due before subtracting deductible VAT, subject to the checks to be carried out by the referring court as regards the proportionate nature of the fine imposed in the case in the main proceedings.
