Whether real estate for a golf course business constitutes real estate for non-business use in case where the income amount for a golf course business is less than that for an additional business after a corporation operating a golf course business added a natural farming source

Summary of Judgment

The purpose of Article 18-3 (1) 3 of the former Corporate Tax Act to exclude the interest paid on real estate for non-business use from deductible expenses is to promote a sound operation of a corporation by speculation more than necessary real estate or by suppressing possession of real estate for speculation purposes, and to achieve the appropriateness of ownership of land for non-business use. Thus, in determining whether real estate for non-business use is real estate, the circumstances of acquisition of the real estate concerned and the transitional period after acquisition, revenue amount, size of the real estate concerned, and the degree of the relationship with the business should be reasonably considered. If the business is one or more corporations, it should be considered that the main business should be determined in consideration of the relation between the businesses, profitability, business operator, etc., and it should not be considered that all the businesses are operated concurrently as subdivided in the articles of incorporation, registry, or business registration. If a corporation operating a golf club business as its main business adds a natural farming source business, the golf club business and natural agricultural source business belong to the category of tourist business under the relevant Acts and subordinate statutes, and it should not be considered that the previous business operation performance of a golf club business is not different from one.

4. Judgment on the issue

A. We examine the Plaintiff’s first proposal.

Article 18 (3) 8 of the Enforcement Rule of the Corporate Tax Act provides that a corporation shall set a golf course as one of non-business real estate and operate a golf course as its main business, and that the amount of income for one year is not less than 7/100 of the real estate price, the corporation shall be excluded from the application thereof, and that the main business shall be determined in accordance with the majority of the amount of income under Article 18 (5) 2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Corporate Tax Act shall be provided for a certain interpretation standard concerning the passage period after acquisition as prescribed by the parent law and the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act, the amount of income, the area of buildings, etc., and the degree of business relationship. Thus,

B. We examine the plaintiff's second claim.

The plaintiff's total revenue amount of Gap's 2, Eul's 4-1, Gap's 6-1, Gap's 7-1, Gap's 7-1, Gap's 10-1, Gap's 12-13, Gap's 14-1, Gap's 17-2, Gap's 17-17, Gap's 19-2, Gap's 19-17, Eul's 19-2, Eul's 17-19-7, Eul's 19-7, Eul's 19-7, Eul's 9-7, Eul's 9-1,'s 9-7, Eul's 19-7, Eul's 16-1, Eul's 9-7, Eul's 16-1, and the plaintiff's 2-5-1, 1967.

The purpose of Article 18-3 (1) 3 of the Corporate Tax Act is to exclude the amount of interest paid on non-business real estate from deductible expenses is to promote a sound operation of a corporation by investing in real estate more than necessary by a corporation or suppressing the possession of real estate for speculative purposes, and to ensure the appropriateness of the ownership of national economic land. In determining whether non-business real estate is a non-business real estate, the details of acquisition of the real estate concerned and the passage period after acquisition, income amount and size of the real estate concerned, and the degree of relation with the business should be reasonably considered, and in case there are more than one business of a corporation, the main business should be determined in consideration of the relation between the business, profitability, business operator, etc., and it should not be considered that all businesses are concurrently operated as subdivided in the articles of incorporation or the register or

In the case of this case, although the plaintiff has been running a business based on the above golf course management for about 8 years, the above golf course business and the nature of the business belongs to the tourist-use facility business under the related Acts and subordinate statutes, and more specifically, the above golf course business and the nature of the business belongs to the previous tourist-use facility business, and it is common in that it provides tourists with facilities suitable for amusement, recreation, and sports and provides them for use by tourists, and it cannot be viewed as concurrently running a separate business without mutual relation. It does not change just because the location of the place of business is different or the public nature of the use is different. In addition, if a corporation operating a golf course as its main business for a considerable period of time has added a new business, it does not change the nature of the previous business in accordance with the Acts and subordinate statutes which were enacted late after adding a new business, and it does not make a new corporation not receive any unfair treatment of the previous business due to the excellent revenue of the previous business operation, and it does not have any economic benefits to prevent the new business operation of a golf course.

As seen earlier, considering the fact that the above provision of the Enforcement Rule, which excludes golf club business from non-business real estate, was revised to be a main business, as seen earlier, the above provision of the above Enforcement Rule was amended to be not required, the above golf club business of the Plaintiff corporation is a main business in the business of natural farmers. Meanwhile, in the above business year, the above golf club business of the Plaintiff corporation is incorporated together with the natural farmers' business, and its entire business is a main business. Meanwhile, in the above business year, the amount of the above golf club revenue exceeds 28/100 of the real estate price, and exceeds 7/100 of the above Enforcement Rule as stipulated in Article 18 (3) 8 of the above Enforcement Rule. Thus, the above golf club

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the disposition of this case on the premise that the real estate owned by the plaintiff constitutes real estate for non-business use is illegal. Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case seeking its revocation is legitimate without having to determine the remainder of the plaintiff's remaining arguments, and it is so decided as per Disposition with the burden of the losing party.
