[증여세부과처분취소][공1987.4.1.(797),469]

Main Issues

(a) The burden of proving the person in special relationship;

(b) Whether there is a special relationship under Article 41(2) of the Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax Act between directors and shareholders of the company

Summary of Judgment

(o) The fact alone cannot be deemed to have been objectively clear on the basis of the same workplace relationship under Article 19 of the Enforcement Rule of the Inheritance Tax Act (amended by Ordinance of the Ministry of Finance and Economy No. 1522 of Apr. 19, 1982). Furthermore, the facts related to the transferor should be proved, and the burden of proof should be borne by the tax authority.

B. A person who served as an executive director of the company can be deemed as an employee of the company, but it cannot be deemed as an employee of the company’s shareholders, and thus, it cannot be deemed that there is a special relationship among them.
