On August 1, 2013, the amount of 104 square meters in Seosung-gu, Daejeon ( Address 1 omitted) was divided into 104 square meters among them on August 1, 2013, and only 486 square meters remain (hereinafter “instant land”). The Plaintiff, on September 5, 2014, completed the registration of transfer of ownership with respect to the instant land on the ground of sale to Busan P&C Co., Ltd on September 1, 2014 (Transaction 305,812,000 won).

【Ground for recognition】 Evidence Nos. 1 through 3, and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

As the instant land was designated as a planned land substitution pursuant to the Special Act on the Promotion of Special Research and Development Zones as one of at least eight years (hereinafter “Special Act on Special Research and Development Zones”) and was transferred within three years from the date of such designation, the “standard market price on the date of obtaining the designation of the planned land substitution” in calculating income in accordance with the proviso of Article 69(1) of the former Restriction of Special Taxation Act (amended by Act No. 13560, Dec. 15, 2015; hereinafter “former Restriction of Special Taxation Act”) shall apply to the case where the land, other than farmland, was designated as a planned land substitution before a replotting disposition is taken pursuant to the Urban Development Act or other Acts. Nevertheless, the Defendant’s disposition in this case is unlawful since it is reasonable to apply the standard market price on the date of being incorporated into a residential area, etc. under the National Land Planning and Utilization Act (hereinafter “resident, etc.”).

【Reasons for Recognition】 Evidence Nos. 1, 4 through 7, 8-1, 2, and the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

In light of the following circumstances, which can be acknowledged by adding the factual basis and the overall purport of the arguments as seen earlier, it is reasonable to calculate capital gains tax according to the standard market price based on the “date of incorporation into a residential area, etc.” rather than on the “date of obtaining designation of a land scheduled for substitution.” Accordingly, if the Plaintiff deducts capital gains tax of KRW 43,964,080 calculated by applying the standard market price of “ June 21, 2013,” the date of designation of a land scheduled for substitution,” the Plaintiff’s excessive payment of capital gains tax of KRW 14,105,972 (i.e., capital gains tax of KRW 43,964,080 - 29,858,108). Accordingly, the disposition of refusing the Plaintiff’s request for correction on a different premise is unlawful.

① Development projects are projects implemented by the method of land substitution by landowners. On June 21, 2013, on the second phase of the Daejeon Special Research and Development Zone (○○ District) development projects are the projects implemented by the method of land substitution by the landowner. On June 21, 2013, the public announcement was made of the designation of land substitution planned to be substituted by the Daejeon Pung-gu (No. 4 omitted) A1

② The instant land sold by the Plaintiff is not a land designated as a land scheduled for replotting other than farmland prior to the disposition of land substitution [Article 1(2) of the instant sales contract, stating to the effect that, even in Article 1(2) of the instant sales contract, the Plaintiff purchased the instant real estate from the ○ District Development Project Association (other than a land secured for development outlay), and intends to carry out a collective housing project with the land secured for development outlay.

③ Since the Act on the Industrial Sites and Development (hereinafter “Industrial Sites Act”) which provides for matters necessary for the development of a national industrial complex falls under the category of “national industrial complex” under Article 43 of the Special Act on Special Research and Development Zones, and Articles 16-2 (Establishment, etc. of Cooperatives) and 24 (Land Substitution to Land Owners), the Urban Development Act shall apply mutatis mutandis to the land in question. Thus, the land in this case is deemed to have been designated as a land scheduled for replotting pursuant to the Urban Development Act or other Acts.

④ Even if an urban development project is implemented by a replotting method, the Urban Development Act stipulates that a district unit plan under the National Land Planning and Utilization Act shall be included in the implementation plan (Article 24(1) and Article 17(1) of the Urban Development Act), and since a replotting plan is established after the approval of an implementation plan is completed, it seems that the preparation of a district unit plan (the designation of a residential area, etc.) would always be prior to the designation of a land unit plan. Therefore, as in this case, if a project is conducted by a replotting method under the Urban Development Act as part of the process, solely on the ground that a district unit plan is formulated (the designation of a residential area, etc.). The latter part of the proviso to Article 69(1) of the former Act on Special Cases Concerning Taxation is deemed to be included in a residential area, etc. under the National Land Planning and Utilization Act or any other Act “where a land, other than a farmland, has been designated by a replotting plan prior to a replotting plan under the Urban Development Act or any other Act, the latter part of the proviso will be applied.

⑤ In cases where land is expropriated after being incorporated into a residential area, etc. pursuant to the Act on National Land Planning and Utilization, it is reasonable to impose tax on the income accrued from such designation based on the “date of designation, such as a residential area,” since development gains accrue only with such designation without any effort or involvement of the owner of the relevant land. However, as in this case, in cases where a project is implemented by a replotting method pursuant to the Urban Development Act, such development gains can be calculated only after the designation of a land scheduled for replotting is made, taking into account the depreciation rate, etc., so it is reasonable to impose tax on the income accrued thereafter. Rather, the proviso to Article 69(1) of the former Act on Special Cases concerning Tax Restriction provides for “where a land scheduled for replotting, other than a farmland, has been designated by a replotting method pursuant to the Urban Development Act or other Acts, separate from the cases of incorporation into a residential area, etc. under the National Land Planning and Utilization Act” can be seen as such purport.

(6) Ultimately, insofar as a project is implemented by a replotting method pursuant to the Urban Development Act and the instant land was designated as a reserved land for replotting, it is reasonable to deem that such land was designated as a reserved land, other than farmland, prior to a replotting disposition pursuant to the Urban Development Act or other Acts.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim shall be accepted on the grounds of its reasoning, and the judgment of the court of first instance shall be unfair on the grounds of its conclusion, so it shall be revoked and the disposition of this case shall be revoked and so decided as per Disposition.

(1) Although the Plaintiff seeks the revocation of the “Occasional Transfer Income Tax for the year 2015”, in light of the transfer time and the payment time of the transfer income tax as seen below, it appears to be a clerical error in the “Occasional Transfer Income Tax for the year 2014” and there is no obstacle to the specific determination even if it is written only as “transfer income tax”.

2) The land which is set up in order to be used as business resources while conducting the land partition project. The land allotted by the authorities in recompense for development outlay is to remove and eliminate certain parts of the land owners within the land rearrangement project zone, and it is to reduce the proportion of the land to be owned.
