A. The plaintiff's assertion

“1) The Corporation’s employees working at each of the instant workplaces are independent entrepreneurs who directly attract and manage customers and receive service charges from customers for their own business, not the employees employed by the Plaintiff.

Since the income tax was withheld on the service charges paid by the customers to the Corporation, the amount of service charges paid by the Plaintiff to the Corporation shall be excluded from the sales amount of each of the instant workplaces (hereinafter the Plaintiff’s assertion is referred to as the “service charges”). 2) As long as the nature of the amount paid to the Corporation from each of the instant workplaces, the amount of service charges paid by the Plaintiff should be excluded from the sales amount of the global income tax base at least 25% of the sales amount of the Plaintiff’s global income tax base after deducting the amount paid by the Defendant from the global income tax base.

3) Even if the nature of the amount the Plaintiff paid to waitter is not a service fee, the entire amount received from the customer as a service fee should be deducted from the necessary expenses when calculating the global income tax base.

[인정 근거] 다툼 없는 사실, 갑 제6호증, 제9호증의 2, 3, 제10호증의 2 내지 4, 제16 내지 85, 87, 88호증, 을 제9 내지 12, 16 내지 19, 25 내지 33, 35 내지 37, 47호증(각 가지번호 포함)의 각 기재, 증인 이KK, 안LL, 이MM, 조NN, 박PP, 윤QQ의 각 일부 증언, 변론 전체의 취지

D. Determination

1) Whether the Plaintiff paid the full amount of the instant service charges to thewaitian

먼저 원고가 이 사건 봉사료를 웨이터들에게 전액 지급하였는지에 관하여 살피건대, 위 인정 사실 및 이 사건 기록과 변론에 나타난 다음과 같은 사정에 비추어 보면, 이에 관한 원고 주장 사실에 부합하는 듯한 증인 이KK, 안LL, 이MM, 조NN, 박PP, 윤QQ의 각 일부 증언은 선뜻 믿기 어렵고, 봉사료지급대장(갑 제9호증의 2,3, 제 10호증의 2, 3, 4, 제 16호증의 2, 제 17호증의 3), 통장거래 내역 (갑 제 87, 88호증)은 이 사건 봉사료 지급 사실의 인정 근거로 삼기 어렵다.

(1) A witness K (EEEA club from April 2008 to March 2010) has testified to the same effect, but they are given testimony after first entering in the service fee payment ledger at the time they are working, they later after confirming it and signing it. A witness YL (from September 2008 to August 2009 to the same club as Gazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzine). However, these testimony is no more than 5% of the actual status of the service fee ledger and their telephone from the above service fee ledger as seen earlier, and it cannot be ascertained as 15% of the amount of cash bill and no more than 25% of the amount of the passbookzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

② The witness EEEAM (from June 201 to the date of signing the EEA club) testified that there exists a service charge ledger stating only the signature without stating the amount considered to be annoyingly engaged in the service charge, but the amount recorded in the service charge ledger is the amount before income tax and resident tax are withheld, and the fact that the above amount of the service charge is the amount after withholding the income tax and the above amount of the service charge is the amount after withholding the income tax, and it seems that the NEA club confirmed the service charge amount after withholding the withholding tax and entered it in the direct service charge ledger in the direct service charge ledger after confirming the service charge amount before withholding the withholding.

③ 증인 안LL, 조NN, 박PP은 봉사료가 입금되는 하나은행 통장을 자신들이 스스로 관리하면서 직접 금원을 출금하여 사용하였다고 증언하고, 증인 조NN, 박PP은 봉사료로 35%를 일관되게 지급받았다고 증언하였으나, 앞서 본 웨이터들 명의 계좌의 출금 형태(동일한 현금지급기에서 웨이터별로 1분에서 3분 간격으로 연속적으로 인출되고 있어 웨이터들 각자가 개별적으로 인출한 것으로는 보이지 않는다)와 부합하지 않고, 통장을 만들어 주거나 사용한 적이 없다는 취지의 위 전화진술 내용 및 아래와 같은 증인 윤QQ의 증언과도 일치하지 않으며, 앞서 본 바와 같이 EEE나이트클럽의 매출액 대비 봉사료 비율은 35%로 고정되어 있지 않고 33%에서 40%까지로 일정하지 않았다.

" ④ 증인 윤QQ(2009. 2.경부터 현재까지 EEE나이트클럽에서 웨이터로 근무)는 2009. 2.경부터 약 1년간 EEE나이트클럽에서 웨이터 총무직을 맡아 웨이터들 계좌에서 현금을 인출하고 웨이터 개인이 업소나 매점에 부담하는 외상값 등의 채무를 변제한 후 남는 돈을 웨이터들에게 나누어 주는 일을 하여주었다고 증언하였으나, 원고는 현금 인출 담당 총무의 존재 에 관하여 주장하지 않다가(오히 려 증인 안LL , 조NN, 박PP은 모두 스스로 금원을 인출하여 사용하였다고 증언한 바 있다) 피고가 웨이터별로 통합된 출금내역을 증거로 제출하자 그제서야 위와 같은 총무의 존재 사실을 주장하였고, 웨이터들이 아무런 담보도 없이 윤QQ 개인에게 현금카드를 맡기고 윤QQ 역시 특별한 대가 없이(특정 웨이터를 지명하지 않은 고객을 배정받는 혜택를 받았다고 하나, 원고는 이 사건 각 사업장이 이른바지명식 나이트'여서 특정 웨이터를 지명하지 않은 손님은 별로 없다는 취지로 주장한 바 있다) 웨이터들의 채무까지 책임지는 역할을 맡았다는 것도 선뜻 이해되지 않는다.", " ⑤ 원고가 제출한 봉사료지급대장에는 서명을 삭제한 후B'(비번을 의미)로 변경 기재한 듯한 부분과 서명의 필적이 다른 부분이 존재하고(갑 제10호증의 2), 웨이터들 명의 하나은행 계좌의 거래내역에서는 개인적 목적으로 금원이 출금된 내역(공과금 납부, 카드대금 결제 등)이 전혀 발견되지 않는다.", 나아가 원고가 제출한 나머지 증거, 특히 갑 제8호증, 제9호증의 1, 제10호증의 1, 제11 내지 15호증, 제89, 90호증의 각 기재를 모두 모아 보더라도 원고가 이 사건 봉사료 전액을 웨이터들에게 실제로 지급하였다는 점을 인정하기 어렵고, 달리 이를 인정할 만한 증거가 없다.

Therefore, we cannot accept the plaintiff's assertion that is written on a different premise.

"2) Where the instant service charges constitute value-added tax, individual consumption tax, and individual consumption tax, Article 48(1) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 11873, Jun. 7, 2013; hereinafter the same shall apply), and Article 2(1)8 of the Enforcement Decree of the Individual Consumption Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 24638, Jun. 28, 2013; hereinafter the same shall apply), where monetary consideration is paid for the supply of goods or services, the total amount of the consideration shall be the tax base of value-added tax [Article 13(1)1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Individual Consumption Tax Act (amended by Act No. 11873, Jun. 1, 2013; hereinafter the same shall apply], and Article 2(1)11 of the Enforcement Decree of the Individual Consumption Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 2031, Feb. 18, 2010).

“Service charges of employees” refer to the amount of money that the customer would directly revert to the employees who provided the relevant services for intangible services, such as their speech, care, etc., which are accompanied by the business operator’s supply of services. Thus, if it is confirmed that the service charges are paid to the employees separately from the prices for the provision of food and accommodation services or personal services, the service charges are not included in the tax base of value-added tax and individual consumption tax, but are not included in the calculation of the value-added tax and the special consumption tax as a matter of course solely on the ground that the service charges are written separately in credit card sales slip, etc., in light of these legal principles, the Plaintiff’s actual payment of service charges to each of the above service charges to employees as stipulated in Article 48(9) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act and Article 2(1)8 of the Enforcement Decree of the Individual Consumption Tax Act is not included in the calculation of the service charges for each of the above service charges to employees.

3) Whether the personnel expenses of full-time employees should be deducted as necessary expenses (the determination on the instant disposition imposing global income tax)

The Plaintiff asserts that the personnel expenses for five full-time employees employed in each of the instant workplaces should be deducted from the necessary expenses. However, there is no evidence to support that the Defendant spent the OO members in excess of the personnel expenses for the said employees, and there is no evidence to support that the Plaintiff spent the OO members as personnel expenses. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s assertion on this cannot be accepted.

3. Conclusion

Then, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
