A person liable for payment of automobile tax and license tax (=owner on the motor vehicle register)

Summary of Judgment

In light of the provisions of Article 196-3 of the former Local Tax Act (amended by Act No. 5406 of Aug. 30, 1997), automobile tax is a tax with the nature of property tax imposed on the ownership of an automobile as a taxation requirement, but it is clear that the ownership of an automobile under Article 196-2 of the same Act and Article 5 of the Automobile Management Act is determined as to whether the ownership of an automobile is registered on the register of automobile.
