The same applies to the former Enforcement Decree of the Local Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 26837, Dec. 31, 2015).
Article 44 provides that “other force majeure” refers to “any earthquake, storm, and flood, hulle, fire, or other similar disaster,” and does not limit “fire,” or “fire,” to the loss or fire, caused by natural force. Thus, the existing fire is not limited.
