2. Whether each of the dispositions of this case is legitimate

A. The plaintiffs' assertion

The plaintiffs were allocated the second and second gratuitous shares through the stock dividends, and this is not different from the gratuitous share allocation according to the capital transfer of reserves under Article 461 of the former Commercial Act (amended by Act No. 10600, Apr. 14, 2011; hereinafter referred to as the "Commercial Act") in that they allocated the free share with the profits surplus as the source of the profits surplus, and the earned surplus is reclassification into the capital account, so it cannot be viewed as a title trust separate from the existing title trust shares, and there is no room to acknowledge the possibility of additional tax avoidance due to the first and second gratuitous share allocation. Accordingly, the first and second grants of this case are not subject to the provisions of the gift under Article 45-2(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, and each disposition of this case is unlawful.

B. Relevant statutes

The entries in the attached Table-related statutes are as follows.

C. Determination

The main text of Article 45-2(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act is one of the exceptions to the substance over form principle under Article 14 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, and is limited to the extent that it is intended to realize tax justice by preventing title trust from being abused as a means of tax avoidance, and, even if the actual owner and the nominal owner transfer the retained earnings to the nominal holder as the corporation issues the nominal holder without compensation, there is no change in the net assets or profits of the issuing corporation, and the actual shareholder’s equity ratio, so it cannot be said that there is no purpose of tax avoidance other than the purpose of tax avoidance under the title trust of the existing stocks, and barring special circumstances, the former provisions on deemed donation of capital under Article 45-2(1) of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act were applied to the existing title trustee without compensation, and thus, the latter is not subject to the said provision on deemed donation of capital stock under Article 45-2(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, and the latter is not subject to the said provision on deemed donation of capital stock dividends under Article 25 of the former Commercial Act.

As seen earlier, the Plaintiffs were allocated with the stock dividends under Article 462-2 of the Commercial Act without compensation, but (i) stock dividends are partially transferred to capital, and are allocated in proportion to the number of new stocks issued at the par value of the stocks divided, and are allocated to shareholders at the same rate. Even if the stock dividends are allocated without compensation, there is no change in the net assets or profits of the non-party company that issued the company, and the existing shareholders’ share ratios before and after the stock dividends do not change any change in the actual value of the plaintiffs’ stocks, and there is no reason to view the first and second gratuitous share allocation by the stock dividends differently from the allocation of the reserve funds under Article 461 of the Commercial Act, and there is no possibility that the Plaintiffs were entitled to new stocks at the time of the allocation of the stock dividends to the existing trustee, and there is no possibility that there was any change in the existing stocks at the time of the allocation of the stock dividends (in reality, it is difficult to view that there is no possibility that there was any change in the previous stocks at the time of the allocation of the stock dividends without compensation, and there is no possibility that there was any change in the new stocks.

3. Conclusion

The plaintiffs' claims are justified, and all of them are accepted.
