Daegu High Court Decision 2003Nu1807 delivered on November 26, 2004
The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.
We examine the grounds of appeal.
Article 234-9 (1) (main sentence) of the former Local Tax Act (amended by Act No. 6312, Dec. 29, 200) provides that "any person who actually owns land under Article 234-8 as of the tax base date for aggregate land tax shall be liable to pay aggregate land tax." Paragraph (2) of the same Article provides that "any person falling under any of the following subparagraphs as of the tax base date for aggregate land tax shall be liable to pay aggregate land tax, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1)" in subparagraph 6 that "a land readjustment project under the Land Readjustment Project Act, or a land substitution project under the Urban Development Act, which sets a specific land as land substitution plan or reserved land for the purpose prescribed by Presidential Decree No. 2063, Jan. 28, 200; hereinafter the same shall apply)" shall be appropriated as land substitution plan prescribed by Presidential Decree No. 2360, Dec. 29, 200>
In the same purport, the court below is justified in holding that the plaintiff, who was in the operator's status during each taxation period of this case, was liable to pay the aggregate land tax under Article 234-9 (2) 6 of the Local Tax Act before the above amendment and the amended Local Tax Act for the land in this case, which was designated as the reserved land as the land for public facilities without being designated as the substitute land at the time
The court below did not err in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the interpretation of Article 234-9 (2) 6 of the former Local Tax Act or the nature of the aggregate land tax and the principle of substantial taxation as otherwise alleged in the ground of appeal.
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 on the bench.
