Regeste Omnilex

LCP.341; late filing of a tax return leading to an insufficient assessment may justify an administrative fine. In fixing the amount, the authority and reviewing court must assess the concrete circumstances and the degree of fault; the sanction may be reduced where the initial amount is disproportionate.
