[Ground of recognition] Evidence Nos. 4, Gap evidence Nos. 20-1, 20-2, Gap evidence Nos. 23-1 through 10, Gap evidence Nos. 24, 27, 28, Eul evidence Nos. 2 through 7, and 11, the result of the order of submission of documents to the head of the original tax office of this court, the purport of the whole pleadings

C. Determination

1) The burden of proof as to the existence of the facts requiring taxation should be proved by the circumstances in which the other party is not subject to the application of the empirical rule if it is proved that the facts alleged to have been taxed in light of the empirical rule. If, under Article 830(1) of the Civil Act, the real estate acquired by one spouse in the name of the married couple is presumed to be the special property of the nominal owner, and it is apparent that the other spouse is not the nominal owner, the nominal owner may be deemed to have received a donation of the acquisition fund from the spouse. In this case, the fact that the real estate concerned cannot be deemed to have received a donation of the acquisition fund because it is not the special property of the nominal owner, but the real estate concerned is a nominal trust

In order to reverse "the presumption of a specific property" under Article 830 (1) of the Civil Act, the other spouse must bear the price for the pertinent real estate and prove that the other spouse acquired the said real estate in order to possess it actually. Thus, the mere fact that the other spouse is the source of the purchase fund does not necessarily mean that there was a title trust as to the pertinent real estate by the reversal of the presumption of a non-conditionable special property, and it does not mean that there was a title trust as to the pertinent real estate. In full view of all the circumstances revealed through the relevant evidence, whether the other spouse bears the price for the real possession of the pertinent real estate should be determined individually and specifically by considering all the circumstances (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2006Du80

Meanwhile, barring special circumstances, such as that if a tax authority received a written confirmation from a person liable to pay tax in the course of conducting a tax investigation, it is difficult to readily deny the evidence of such written confirmation, barring any such circumstance as where the written confirmation was forced against the intent of the person who prepared the document, or it is difficult to consider it as evidence of specific facts due to lack of the content thereof (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2001Du2560, Dec. 6, 2002).

2) 이 사건에서 보건대, 위 나.에서 인정한 사실에 변론 전체의 취지를 더하여 알 수있는 다음의 사정, 즉 ① 원고는 조사과정에서 이 사건 아파트의 취득자금 중 금융기관 대출금을 제외한 나머지 1,750,000,000원을 ccc로부터 증여받았거나 적어도 그 출처가 ccc임을 시인하는 취지의 확인서, 소명서를 작성・제출하였고, 위 확인서가 원고의 의사에 반하여 강제로 작성되었다는 증거가 없는 점, ② jjj종건이 kk종건으로부터 차용하였다는 1,000,000,000원은 실질적으로 ccc이 kk종건으로부터 위 금원을 차용하면서 형식적으로 사실상 ccc이 운영하던 jjj종건의 명의를 사용한 것으로 보이는 점(원고가 이에스종건으로부터 위 금원을 차용하고 이를 다시 ccc에게 대여하였다는 점을 인정할 아무런 증거가 없다), ③ 2010. 4. 9. 원고의 〇〇은행 계좌에 입금된 600,000,000원이 원고가 류〇〇으로부터 차용한 금원임을 인정할 아무런 증거가 없고, 설령 그 입금자가 류〇〇이라 하더라도, ccc과 류〇〇의 관계에 비추어 보면 ccc이 류〇〇으로부터 위 금원을 차용 내지 지급받으면서 원고의 계좌를 사용한 것일 가능성이 커 보이는 점 등을 종합하면, 이 사건 아파트의 취득자금 중 금융기관 대출금을 제외한 나머지 1,750,000,000원의 출처는 명의자인 원고가 아니라 ccc이라고 봄이 타당하고, 이 사건 아파트는 명의자인 원고의 특유재산으로 추정되므로, 일단 원고가 ccc로부터 위 금원을 증여받은 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이 경우 이 사건 아파트가 원고의 특유재산이 아니고 ccc로부터 명의신탁된 것이기 때문에 그 취득자금을 증여받은 것으로 볼 수 없다는 점에 대하여는 원고가 이를 증명하여야 한다.

However, it is difficult to recognize the credibility of the Plaintiff’s assertion on the title trust only when the Plaintiff borrowed the entire acquisition fund of the instant apartment from ccc or claimed to the effect that it is the whole funds of the Plaintiff, and only when it comes to the instant lawsuit, at the time of the instant lawsuit. Moreover, it is difficult to recognize the credibility of the Plaintiff’s assertion on the title trust. Moreover, the Plaintiff’s acquisition fund of the instant apartment from 1,750,000,000 won out of 2,750,000,000 won, and the Plaintiff and cc reside together in the instant apartment from cc. on the sole basis of the fact that the Plaintiff and cc reside together in the instant apartment, the Plaintiff’s husband and wife purchased a certain share of the instant apartment from cc and purchased it, or registered in the name of the Plaintiff, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge this otherwise. The Plaintiff’s assertion is without merit.

3. Conclusion

The plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
