The Defendant issued the instant disposition against the Plaintiff, but the Local Tax Act explicitly specifies the Plaintiff as a local government, so the instant lawsuit shall be filed against the head of Jung-gu, the head of the local government having jurisdiction over the Plaintiff. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s lawsuit is unlawful against the erroneous Defendant.

B. Determination

As long as the Defendant issued the instant disposition under the name of the Defendant to the Plaintiff, regardless of whether the Local Tax Act specifies the person entitled to impose local tax as a local government, the other party to the instant disposition is the Defendant. The Defendant’s assertion is without merit

The directors of the corporation which has already been established with the property of the individual church should also be dispatched by the supervisory council.

(2) Preparation and keeping of a list of property registers;

The plaintiff foundation manages the list of the basic property register for each annual association by separating the real estate and the real estate owned by the foundation, incorporated and preserved by the affiliated association of its members.

(3) Plaintiff’s purpose (corporate register)

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 1 to 4 evidence, Gap 9 to 363 evidence (including each number), the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

(1) Ownership of church properties: Collective ownership of the members (see Supreme Court en banc Decision 2004Da37775 delivered on April 20, 2006, Supreme Court Decision 2007Ma224 delivered on June 29, 2007).

(A) As long as a church exists as an association which is not a legal entity, in resolving disputes surrounding its legal relations by means of a lawsuit, the general theory of the Civil Code concerning an association which is not a legal entity shall grasp the substance of the church and determine the ownership of the church's properties.

(B) Members shall own church properties in the form of collective ownership and use them and benefit therefrom.

(2) Whether the registration of the name of the Plaintiff Foundation on the instant real estate is title trust or not

Comprehensively taking account of the following facts and arguments as seen earlier, it is reasonable to view that the registration of the instant real estate in the name of the Plaintiff by the members of the association affiliated with the Plaintiff Foundation in the name of the Plaintiff constitutes a kind of title trust, as it is with the purport of strengthening the affiliation of the supervisory council and securing unity, or purporting to faithfully perform the rights and obligations as a member of the supervisory council, and not performing any act contrary to the purpose of its establishment, rather than having the Plaintiff acquire the ownership ultimately.

(A) The member society acquired the real estate of this case with the contribution, contribution, and revenue of the church as the original funds of the members society.

(B) The Joining Association was directly liable for taxes on the property tax, etc. imposed in the name of the Plaintiff Foundation on the instant real estate. If the funds are needed, the Joining Association had the authority to dispose of the instant real estate, such as providing the instant real estate as collateral and obtaining a loan, or transferring it to a third party, with prior approval of the board of directors of

(C) The Plaintiff Foundation received the registration of the instant real estate from the individual members society, and incorporated the instant real estate into the foundation’s fundamental property, but there was no restriction on the use and profit-making of the real estate, and thus, the members of the Plaintiff Foundation used the instant real estate as religious facilities.

(D) According to the doctrine and the regulations of the church administration, all land, buildings, and facilities of the church members are forced to be incorporated into and preserved for the foundation. This is for maintaining the consistency of the religious order, securing the unity with individual family association, and preventing the division of the church due to the privateization of the church properties and the property dispute.

(E) The doctrine that requires the members of the Association to incorporate and preserve the property as a foundation, and the doctrine itself requires only the change of the registration name, but does not stipulate the transfer of the ownership itself.

(f) If there are no essential facilities for assemblies, worships and other religious activities, such as assembly buildings (e.g., weddings), school sites, pastors, and educational halls, etc., which are essential for the purpose of existence of assemblies, worships and other religious activities, and if there is no essential facilities such as assembly and worship, the existence of the teachers’ association itself may be maintained.

(G) Article 104-13 of the Restriction of Special Taxation Act (amended by Act No. 8827 of Dec. 31, 2007 and enforced from January 1, 2008) stipulated the provision on property title trust of an individual religious organization by stipulating that, among the housing or land owned by an individual Confucian school or an individual religious organization, where a house or land is registered for the purpose of evading taxes before January 4, 2005 under the name of a Confucian school or a religious organization to which the individual organization belongs, the organization that actually owns the house or land shall be deemed as the person liable for the comprehensive real estate holding tax as of the tax base date and the individual organization may report the comprehensive real estate holding tax. In this case, the house or land subject to comprehensive real estate holding tax shall be deemed as the individual organization only in the taxation of the comprehensive real estate holding tax.

(c) Taxpayers of comprehensive real estate holding tax;

A person liable to pay comprehensive real estate holding tax is a person who actually owns property as of the tax base date (Article 183(1) of the Local Tax Act). Here, a person who actually owns property should be deemed to have the actual ownership of the relevant land regardless of whether he/she is registered as an owner on the public register (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2002Du6361, Nov. 28, 2003

Therefore, the taxpayer of the comprehensive real estate holding tax on the real estate in this case is not the plaintiff who is the title trustee, but the individual member of the association or each of its members who have a real ownership on the real estate in

(4) The theory of lawsuit

The instant disposition rejecting a claim for rectification of comprehensive real estate holding tax on the ground that the Plaintiff is not a de facto owner of the instant real estate was unlawful.

4. Conclusion

The plaintiff's claim for this case shall be reasonable and acceptable.
