Question referred

Must Articles 1(2) and 73 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1) and the principles of neutrality, proportionality and equal treatment be interpreted as precluding a practice on the part of the national tax authorities, in so far as that practice does not allow — on the grounds of lack of a domestic legal basis and unjust enrichment — an adjustment of the VAT taxable amount and output tax if sales of goods and services to consumers at an inflated rate of VAT were registered using a cash register and evidenced by cash register receipts rather than by VAT invoices, with the price (gross sales value) remaining unchanged as a result of that adjustment?
