2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

① The instant income is unlawful on the sole ground that it is apparent that the Plaintiff was attributed to the instant company, not the Plaintiff, on the financial data, and that the Plaintiff was convicted of the charge of good offices and good offices, and that the instant disposition imposing a comprehensive income tax on the Plaintiff without relation to whether it actually reverts to the Plaintiff or not.

② Since the Plaintiff’s possibility of losing economic benefits from the instant income is realized upon being sentenced to a surcharge judgment in a criminal case as to the instant income, the instant disposition is unlawful since the part relating to the remaining balance of the surcharge does not belong to the Plaintiff, from among the instant income, does not belong to the Plaintiff.

B. Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Form.

C. Determination

1) As to the allegation No. 1

Unless there are special circumstances to deem it difficult to adopt a factual judgment of the above criminal judgment in the administrative litigation as it is final and conclusive (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 98Du10424, Nov. 26, 199; 98Du10424, Nov. 26, 199; 201Du28240, May 24, 2012).

In light of the above legal principles, the plaintiff received a total of 66 million won upon request from KimGG to the effect that, with respect to the acceptance of the registration statement on the ITRD prize, the plaintiff received a total of 66 million won upon request from the KimGG to the effect that she would properly pass the registration statement, and (2) in relation to the acceptance of the registration statement on the EEE EEE capital increase registration statement, the plaintiff received a total of 66 million won upon request from the Financial Supervisory Service, and received a total of 22 million won upon request from HaH to the Financial Supervisory Service, so that the registration statement can be accepted promptly so that the merger registration statement can take effect at a timely time, and (3) in relation to the acceptance of the EEE capital increase registration statement, the fact that the related criminal judgment became final and conclusive, as seen in the above, that the defendant received a total of 150 million won from HaH to the Financial Supervisory Service, 150 million won, and there is no violation of subparagraphs 15 through 17.

Therefore, the plaintiff, not the company of this case, received money and valuables for mediating the matters regarding the acceptance of the registration statement, which is the duties of officers and employees of the Financial Supervisory Service. Therefore, the plaintiff's above assertion on a different premise is without merit.

2) As to the argument

The purpose of the Criminal Act is to deprive a person of gains from a criminal act and prevent him/her from holding unjust profits. Therefore, if confiscation or collection of illegal income has been made, it constitutes realizing the possibility of loss of economic benefits inherent in the illegal income. Therefore, in such a case, since income has not been ultimately realized, it is reasonable to deem that the basis for calculating the tax base and tax amount has occurred after the establishment of the tax liability to be changed, and allow the person to claim reduction by proving the fact.In other words, even if the tax liability was established once the tax liability was met due to the fulfillment of the taxation requirement, even if the possibility of loss of economic benefits inherent in the illegal income such as confiscation or collection is realized after the occurrence of a subsequent trigger cause, and the tax liability established at the beginning is not realized due to the confirmation of non-performance of income, barring special circumstances, a taxpayer may escape from tax liability by filing a subsequent claim for correction as stipulated in Article 45-2 (2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes (see, e.g., Supreme Court en banc Decision 2015Du165, supra.

On the other hand, the fact that the plaintiff paid KRW 90 million out of the additional collection amount of KRW 140 million in the judgment of this case which became final and conclusive is that the possibility of loss of economic benefits inherent in illegal income such as confiscation or additional collection is realized and it is confirmed that the income has not been realized. However, as the judgment imposing additional collection in relation to the portion of KRW 50 million which has not yet been executed yet, the above judgment is only likely to lose future economic benefits, and it is not feasible if the prescription of additional collection (Article 78 subparagraph 6 of the Criminal Act is three years according to Article 78 subparagraph 6 of the Criminal Act) is not realized. Accordingly, it cannot be deemed that the possibility of loss of economic benefits inherent in illegal income has been realized, and due to such a circumstance, it cannot be deemed that the taxpayer is out of the income tax liability due to the lack of initial arrangement.

Therefore, we cannot accept this part of the plaintiff's assertion.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
