The entries in the attached Table-related statutes are as follows.

(c) Fact of recognition;

1) As a result of the tax investigation conducted on the GG&C from October 13, 2008 to November 14, 2008, the head of the Ansan Tax Office, the representative of the business registration, was only the nominal name holder, and the actual representative was found to be ParkE.

2) From January 1, 2008 to November 19, 2008, Park E-E filed a complaint with the competent District Prosecutors' Office located in the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office by the head of the Ansan District Tax Office, on the grounds of the suspicion of issuing and delivering KRW 937,79,00 in the aggregate of 22 processed tax invoices (including false) tax invoices in the name of the largest FF and seven enterprises, including the construction of housing saves and construction of housing saves, without supplying goods or services in the name of the largest F.

3) The instant tax invoice is written as the lowestF by the supplier, but the actual supplier is E.

[Reasons for Recognition] 5 to 11 evidence of Gap, Eul 3, 4, 5, and 6 (each number of evidence), the testimony of Gao E and the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

The actual supplier and the supplier on a tax invoice may not deduct or refund the input tax amount unless there is any special circumstance that the supplier was negligent in not knowing the fact of misrepresentation of the tax invoice and that there is no negligence on the part of the supplier in not knowing the fact of misrepresentation of the tax invoice. The person who asserts the deduction or refund of the input tax amount must prove that there is no negligence on the part of the supplier in not knowing the fact of misrepresentation (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 97Nu4920, Jun. 27, 1997; 2002Du2277, Jun. 28, 2002

As shown in the above facts, in full view of the following circumstances, i.e., ① the amount of the instant construction project is not less than KRW 300 million, but the construction contract was not prepared, ② most of the instant construction project was supplied by DD Construction in 2007, ③ the maximum FF, which is a supplier of the instant tax invoice, is merely a nominal supplier, ④ the actual supplier of the instant tax invoice was notified in advance to the Plaintiff’s representative, etc., ④ the actual supplier of the instant tax invoice was Park EE; ⑤ the Plaintiff Company was aware of the difference between the supplier and the actual supplier under the tax invoice at the time of receiving the instant tax invoice. The Plaintiff’s assertion that the instant disposition was unlawful on the premise that the Plaintiff was not aware of the fact that the instant tax invoice was not true, is not reasonable.

3. Conclusion

Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit.
