[Ground of recognition] Each entry of Gap evidence 10, 13 (including paper numbers), Eul evidence 2 and 5 (including paper numbers), and the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

(1) Omission of the lease proceeds from Nos. 456, 505, 65, and 66 of the instant commercial building

According to the confirmation letter of CCC, GG, DD, and EE preparation, CCC and GG enter into a lease agreement with the Plaintiff on subparagraph 505 of the commercial building of this case from May 2005 to June 2009, and used it as a warehouse and paid the Plaintiff the monthly OOO from May 2005 to March 2009 to June 2009 as the monthly OOOO, from April 2009 to June 5, 2009; DDR entered into a lease agreement with the Plaintiff on subparagraph 5 of the commercial building of this case; from December 2002 to March 2009 to March 6, 2008, the Plaintiff entered into a lease agreement with the Plaintiff on subparagraph 6 of the commercial building of this case and paid the Plaintiff KRW 1 million from May 200 to June 206 to June 200, and the Plaintiff paid KRW 600,000 from May 6, 2008.

On the other hand, the defendant asserts that "BB entered into a lease agreement with the plaintiff 456 of the commercial building of this case and paid the plaintiff monthly rent to the plaintiff from December 2001 to August 89" as stated in the Seoul Central District Court Decision (2009Gahap92895) and that the sum of monthly rent and management expenses was omitted from reporting. However, according to the Seoul High Court Decision (201Na346) which was the appellate court (201Na346), considering that the rent revenue from BB was excluded from unjust enrichment (not stated in the grounds excluded from the judgment), there is no other evidence to verify the lease of BB, the only entry in the Seoul Central District Court Decision of Seoul Central District Court alone is insufficient to acknowledge the rent of the commercial building of this case, and there is no evidence to acknowledge it otherwise, the defendant's above assertion is without merit.

(2) Omission of the lease proceeds for the common areas of this case

(A) Even if a tax suit is not bound by the facts recognized in a civil trial, the facts which have been established in the relevant civil case are significant evidence unless there are special circumstances.

In the lawsuit for the return of unjust enrichment brought by the Health Team and the management body against the instant case, the Plaintiff recognized that “the Plaintiff acquired profit from the lease of the instant common area to FF, etc.,” and therefore, it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiff obtained a total profit from the lease of the instant common area, such as the detailed statement of recognition of unjust enrichment regarding the lease of the common area, as shown in the attached Form “the details of recognition of unjust enrichment regarding the lease of the common area,” and that the amount equivalent to 35% of the Plaintiff’s share ratio (i.e., the KRW 35%) was reverted to the Plaintiff.

(B) As to this, the Plaintiff reported and paid the total amount of the rent for the instant common area as corporate tax. However, the Plaintiff asserted that “it is an omitted amount of only OOOO which was recognized by the judgment after deducting OOO reported by the Plaintiff from the OOO which was the sales.” However, the Plaintiff recognized that “the Plaintiff did not reflect OOO of the rent in the outer upper area at the time of filing corporate tax return” (No. 3, No. 24), “A” and “No. 15, and No. 16 (including the virtual number)” as stated in each account alone cannot be confirmed as to the revenue of the instant common area, and it is difficult to find that the rent for the instant common area was included in the revenue of the instant case, and it is difficult to view that there was no evidence that the Plaintiff reported and submitted the change in the amount of the corporate tax and value-added tax to the Plaintiff’s share in the rent for 3% prior to the filing of the Plaintiff’s report including the above 3-5% increase in its own share in the lease agreement.

In addition, the plaintiff asserts that "the plaintiff has used unjust enrichment as management expenses, so it should be recognized as losses." However, according to the Seoul High Court decision, the plaintiff's assertion that it was spent as management expenses was rejected, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge that it was spent as management expenses.

(3) The scope of the cancelled tax amount

(A) In a lawsuit seeking the revocation of a taxation disposition, the subject matter of adjudication is whether the tax base and the amount of tax notified by the tax authority are objectively existing. In a case where the tax base and the amount of tax recognized by the disposition of taxation are excessive compared to the legitimate tax base and the amount of tax, the disposition of imposition is unlawful within the scope exceeding the reasonable tax base and the amount of tax (see Supreme Court Decision 88Nu6504, Mar. 28

(B) The lease profit portion of the instant disposition concerning No. 456 among the instant disposition should be revoked illegally. Accordingly, if value-added tax and corporate tax are re-calculated, it shall be as indicated in the column of “political tax amount” among the details of the instant disposition.

Therefore, the portion exceeding the legitimate amount of tax out of the remaining amount of tax from the value-added tax on January 2006 or January 2009 in the attached list of "the details of taxation disposition" is illegal, and thus, the portion exceeding the legitimate amount of tax out of the remaining amount of tax from the corporate tax on the business year 2006 or 2008 should be revoked.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is justified within the above scope of recognition, and the remaining claims are dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
