Judgment of the Court of Justice in the case Beach and bar management. Article 325 TFEU, Article 273 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC, and Article 50 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union must be interpreted as precluding national legislation which provides for the imposition of a financial penalty on a taxable person on the ground that he or she has not issued fiscal cash register receipts relating to sales made where that offence has already given rise to the imposition of a coercive administrative measure to seal the business premises in which that offence was committed and prohibiting access thereto. Article 273 of Directive 2006/112 and Article 49(3) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights must be interpreted as precluding national legislation which provides for, as an administrative penalty, a financial measure of a high amount without the court hearing a challenge to that measure having the procedural possibility of imposing an amount less than that provided for by that legislation or another more lenient type of penalty.
