Title

The disposition of this case on the premise that the shareholder is a shareholder who actually exercises rights to shares is unlawful

Summary

In full view of the fact that it seems somewhat little to view that a person who operated a corporation as wages received from the corporation (it does not seem that the corporation paid dividends to the shareholders), etc., it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiffs are difficult to view the Plaintiffs as the actual owners of stocks, and that the trust

Serial number, including number, hereinafter the same shall apply), the purport of the whole pleading

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiffs' assertion

The Plaintiffs merely obtained title trust from 000 the shares of this case, and since the actual shareholders of the shares of this case are 00 million, the instant disposition is unlawful.

B. Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Form.

C. Determination

1) Article 39(1)2(a) of the former Framework Act on National Taxes (amended by Act No. 11124, Dec. 31, 201; hereinafter “the Act”) provides that a person who actually exercises the rights to shares exceeding 50/100 of the total number of shares issued by the relevant corporation among oligopolistic shareholders shall be subject to secondary tax liability. In light of the legislative intent and the process of amendment, etc. of the aforementioned provision, the exercise of rights to shares exceeding 50/100 of the total number of shares issued by the relevant corporation does not necessarily require that the exercise of rights must have actual exercise of rights, but it is sufficient that the exercise of rights to the shares held as of the date of establishment of tax liability is deemed as a shareholder. Meanwhile, in determining whether a person is an oligopolistic shareholder under Article 39(2) of the Act, the fact of ownership of shares should be proved by data such as a list of shareholders, a statement of stock situation in stock transfer or corporate register, etc. However, even if it appears to be a shareholder in light of the above data, it should not be deemed that the nominal owner.

[See Supreme Court Decision 2008Du983]

2) According to the facts found earlier, the Plaintiffs owned 100% of the shares of the instant corporation and were in the position to exercise shareholders’ rights. Accordingly, the Plaintiffs constitute oligopolistic shareholders of the instant corporation as of the date on which the liability to pay delinquent national taxes was established.

On the other hand, since the burden of proof for the circumstance that a shareholder is registered as a shareholder in the register of shareholders but is stolen, or registered in a name other than the name of the actual owner is not a shareholder, the following is examined.

In full view of the entries in Gap 3, 7, 9, 11, 12 evidence and the purport of the whole pleadings, 00 won is stated that the actual shareholders of the shares of this case are themselves, 00 are the accounting officials working for the corporation of this case, and 00 are lent the name of the shares of this case at the time of incorporation of the corporation of this case, and since 00 retire, 00 are written several confirmations that the name of the shares of this case was changed again to 00, which were employed by the corporation of this case, 50 million won was loaned from the corporate bonds company of this case and 1.5 million won was paid as interest to 1.5 million won, 200,000 won was used from the corporate bonds company of this case, 200,000 won was transferred to 20,0000 won, 10,0000 won was transferred to the corporation of this case at the time of 19,199 X, 19,00000.

The following facts revealed according to the above facts: (i) it appears that 00, who was a bad credit holder, could not own the shares of this case under his own name; (ii) it appears that there was a clear purpose of title trust with the plaintiffs to acquire all the shares of this case on March 8, 2012; (iii) it was actually exercising the rights to the shares of this case on April 18, 2012; (iv) even though it could be anticipated that the disposition of this case against the plaintiffs would be imposed upon them if the disposition of this case is cancelled, it has been submitted a confirmation document unfavorable to them; (iv) the plaintiff 00 did not have registered the business until now, but has registered the business as the representative of the corporation for the same purpose; and (v) it appears that the corporation was established with a relatively detailed explanation as to the initial capital and operation of the corporation of this case; and (v) it appears that the plaintiff 100 or 600 won was not the actual owner of the benefits of this case.

3) Therefore, the instant disposition based on the premise that the Plaintiffs are shareholders who actually exercise their rights to the instant shares is unlawful.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, since the plaintiffs' claims are well-grounded, it is decided as per Disposition by admitting all of them.
