Take into account

Hi,

Are both sentences natural or does one of them sound better than the other?

Thank you.

" The meaning of both is then: when a certain fact is considered, it is then seen as justified that you must pay an extra 50 euros.

" The meaning here is: when a certain fact is considered, it is seen that you paid 50 euros too much.
