was imposed.

2. The plaintiff's assertion

Since the purchase price under the instant sales contract was reduced to KRW 0 billion, and real estate subject to sale under the instant sales contract includes land owned by Park Dong-dong equivalent to KRW 00 billion, the purchase price for the land owned by the Plaintiff shall be KRW 00 billion, and the head of △△ District Tax Office shall impose KRW 000,000,000,000 as corporate tax on the Plaintiff following the sale of land owned by the Plaintiff, and KRW 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 won as corporate tax from the sale of land owned by the Plaintiff.

Nevertheless, with regard to the sales contract of this case, the head of △△ District Tax Office imposed on the Plaintiff the total of KRW 0,000,000,000 as the principal tax for the year 192, and KRW 0,000,000,000 as the penalty tax for the year 192, and collected all of them until July 1, 1995.

Accordingly, the plaintiff seeks to confirm that there exists 00,000 won of the refund money to be refunded as above against the defendant.

3. Judgment on the defendant's main defense

The defendant asserts that the lawsuit of this case is unlawful as there is no benefit in confirmation.

On the other hand, when the plaintiff's legal status is unstable and dangerous, it is recognized that it is the most effective and appropriate means to get a judgment in order to eliminate such unstable and danger when the plaintiff's legal status is unstable and dangerous, and to file a lawsuit claiming performance, it is not a final solution of the dispute, and therefore there is no benefit of confirmation (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2005Da60239, Mar. 9, 2006).

As to this case, it appears that it was the most effective and appropriate means for the Plaintiff to request the payment of the amount equivalent to corporate tax overpaid or erroneously paid to the Defendant. As to this case, the Plaintiff merely sought confirmation of the existence of refund claim as to this case does not have any interest in confirmation since it cannot be seen as a final settlement method of dispute. Therefore, even if the Plaintiff’s lawsuit of this case is in interest in confirmation of the Plaintiff’s lawsuit, it is deemed unlawful as follows: ① the Plaintiff’s claim was based on the above facts, i.e., the statement of No. 1 and No. 2 through No. 7, and the purport of all pleadings from 00 to 195, 200 won, i.e., the Plaintiff’s claim for the return of 0,000 won, which was 0,000 won, from 60 to 1, 1995, 200,000 won, 20,000 won, which were the Plaintiff’s tax office’s claim for the above disposition.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, since the lawsuit of this case is unlawful, it is decided to dismiss it. It is so decided as per Disposition.
