B. Details of the notice of the change in the income amount of this case
1) After conducting a consolidated investigation of corporate tax in 2015, the Defendant sent to the Plaintiff a notice on August 8, 2016 on the submission of materials, such as financial evidence related to the collection of the provisional payment of this case, to the Plaintiff.
2) On August 19, 2016, the Plaintiff issued a revised advance sheet on January 1, 2016, stating that the Plaintiff created KRW 71 million for provisional payments and short-term loans and KRW 71 million. However, on August 23, 2016, the Plaintiff responded that the Defendant’s request for submission of materials was “the existing loan obligation was repaid with the representative director’s funds.”

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The portion of the Plaintiff’s account of the instant provisional payment, which accounts as the repayment of the instant existing loan, is merely a simple error in the accounting of the employee in charge. The instant provisional payment and the instant existing loan were simultaneously omitted, and there was no actual cash transaction being corrected as of January 1, 2016, and there was no actual cash transaction accompanied. Therefore, in light of the substance over form principle, the key issue amount of the instant case cannot be deemed to have been discharged from the company. Therefore, the notice of the change of the income amount of the instant case that the instant provisional payment was deemed to have been discharged from the company is unlawful, and it is reasonable to include only the recognized interest and the portion of the instant provisional payment, which were omitted by reducing the instant provisional payment without any justifiable reason, in the calculation of the bonus.
B. Relevant statutes
It is as shown in the attached Form.
C. Determination
1) Cash, which is the counterpart account of off-the-counter debt, shall be deemed as corporation's profit. If cash, which is the counterpart account of off-the-counter debt, which is the company's profit, is not entered in the company's account, it shall be deemed as if it was leaked out of the company, barring any special circumstance. If it is unclear, it shall be deemed as a bonus for representative pursuant to Article 67 of the Corporate Tax Act and the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 26981, Feb. 12, 2016; hereinafter "former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act"). Further, if it is not clear that the corporation's income tax liability is established with respect to the amount attributed to the representative, etc. of the corporation, it shall not affect the corporation's tax liability even if it was returned later (see Supreme Court Decision 91Nu5303, Dec. 10, 191; 200Du75016, Dec. 16, 1999).
In other words, in principle, disposal of income shall be carried out again (see Supreme Court Decision 2009Du9307, Nov. 10, 201).
2) 앞서 인정한 사실 및 변론 전체의 취지에 의하여 알 수 있는 아래와 같은 사정들에 의하면, 이 사건 쟁점금액은 사외로 유출되었다고 봄이 타당하고, 피고가 이 사건 쟁점금액을 익금 산입하는 한편 이를 이##에 대한 상여로 소득처분하여 이 사건 처분을 한 것은 적법하다.
가) 원고가 대표이사에 대한 이 사건 가지급금을 회수하고 이를 토대로 이 사건 기존 차입금을 변제한 것처럼 회계처리함으로써, 이 사건 신규 차입금 채무가 부외 부채로 존재하게 되는 한편 대표이사 이##가 원고에 대하여 부담하던 가지급금 채무가 소멸하는 결과가 발생하였다. 앞서 본 법리에 덧붙여 원고의 위와 같은 회계처리로 인하여 부외부채에 대응하는 이 사건 쟁점금액 부분이 장부에서 누락되었고, 이로써 이##는 채무를 면제받는 이익을 얻음과 동시에 이 사건 쟁점금액을 임의로 사용할 수 있었던 점을 보태어 보면, 이 사건 쟁점금액 전액이 사외유출된 것으로 추정되고 이를 대표이사에 대한 상여로 소득처분함이 상당하다.
B) In addition, in cases where the creditor and the debtor erroneously offset the advance payment and the provisional payment different from each other, the additional payment does not occur separately, while in this case, the Busan High Court Decision 2013Nu10185 cited by the plaintiff is not invoked in this case in that the additional payment occurred due to the plaintiff's accounting settlement. Rather, in light of the situation that the representative director of the plaintiff could have arbitrarily used it by omitting the key amount in the books as seen earlier, it is reasonable to view that the total amount of the issue amount in this case was out of the company, and it is not deemed that the provisional payment in this case is limited to the person who recognized the provisional payment in this case.
C) Furthermore, the Plaintiff issued a revised advance sheet for the instant borrowings and provisional payments and included them in gross income. However, the point of time is August 19, 2016, which was the 10th day from August 8, 2016 when the Defendant demanded the Plaintiff to submit taxation explanatory materials. This constitutes “where the head of the district tax office having jurisdiction over the place of tax payment is notified of explanation of taxation data” under the proviso of Article 106(4)4 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act or “where he was aware of correction in advance due to cases similar to those under subparagraphs 1 through 5” or “where he was informed of correction in accordance with subparagraphs 1 through 5, the key amount in this case shall not be deemed as the internal reserve money, and shall be deemed as the full
D) The Plaintiff asserts that it is merely an accounting error that occurred by recognizing the repayment of the loan in the course of changing the loan account. However, in light of the fact that the Plaintiff continued to pay interest on the instant loan even after September 25, 2015 when the previous loan account was terminated, it is difficult to deem that the Plaintiff was erroneous to have repaid the instant loan, and there is no other evidence to deem that the key issue amount was not leaked.
E) The principle of substantial taxation is a practical principle for realizing the principle of equality, which is the basic ideology of the Constitution, in a tax legal relationship. In a case where any unreasonable form or appearance that differs from the substance of the taxation requirement is taken for the purpose of evading the tax burden, the main purpose of this principle is to regulate unfair tax avoidance acts and enhance the equity in taxation by imposing tax on a place where the tax source exists, regardless of the form or appearance, and thereby to realize the tax justice by enhancing the equity in taxation. As seen earlier, as seen earlier, the Plaintiff got the representative director to gain profit equivalent to the key amount by extinguishing the provisional payment obligation of the representative director. As such, the Defendant’s disposal as a bonus to the representative director of the Plaintiff, who is the actual benefit, is in accord with the principle of substantial taxation. Accordingly, it accords with the principle of substantial taxation.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
