The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Article 15(10) of the former Regulation of Tax Reduction and Exemption Act (amended by Act No. 3196, Dec. 28, 1979); Article 27-2(2) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provides that the interest and commission which a domestic branch of a foreign bank loans with foreign currency redemption period of three years or more shall be exempted from income tax or corporate tax. It is reasonable to view that it does not mean that the domestic branch of the foreign bank grants corporate loans with foreign currency redemption period of three years or more, and that it shall be exempted from corporate tax or income tax equivalent to the tax base of such foreign currency loans. Thus, in calculating income to be exempted from foreign currency loans as above, it shall be calculated by deducting the interest paid on foreign currency loans used for such loans from the foreign currency loans and necessary expenses such as the total amount of interest paid on foreign currency loans used for such loans from the domestic branch of the foreign bank for 19 years or more, and that it shall be deemed that the foreign currency loan funds used for such foreign currency loans should be included in the calculation for 18 years or more.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
