The Supreme Administrative Court unanimously allowed the request to substitute a fine with an admonition for a tax offense. The appellant argued that the sanction should be reduced because the infringement did not cause actual loss to the tax revenue. The court ruled that the statutory requirement for such a substitution does not mandate proof of effective financial damage to the treasury.
