The Supreme Administrative Court rejected the Fiscal Authority's request to impose a single fine for multiple tax violations. The court found that when the tax amount cannot be determined, Article 105(3) of the Tax Code mandates applying separate fines for each distinct violation within the statutory limits. Consequently, the authority's attempt to consolidate penalties was deemed legally incorrect, requiring a graduated fine for every identified infraction.

SUMÁRIO

I - O paragrafo 3 do artigo 105 do Codigo do Imposto de Transacções não impõe necessariamente a aplicação de uma unica pena de multa, quando, por carencia de elementos, não for possivel determinar a importancia do imposto.

II - Verificada que seja a pratica de mais de uma infracção no condicionalismo deste paragrafo 3 do artigo 105, e de aplicar-se a cada infracção uma pena de multa, que devera ser graduada entre os limites maximo e minimo fixados neste mesmo preceito legal.
