Definition ∞ An Annual Turnover Penalty is a financial sanction calculated as a proportion of a company’s yearly revenue. This type of penalty is typically imposed for significant regulatory breaches or non-compliance with legal obligations. It serves as a deterrent, ensuring that fines are impactful regardless of a company’s absolute size. Such penalties can substantially affect a firm’s financial health and market standing.
