Article 31 of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act: Scope of donated property

Text

The appeal shall be dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The court below, after compiling the adopted evidence and finding facts as stated in its decision, based on the facts alleged by the defendant, found that the part exceeding the plaintiff's statutory share in the real estate of this case among the real estate of this case is confirmed as the share of inheritance of each inheritor and cannot be deemed to have been donated again from other inheritors after the registration of transfer of inheritance ownership was made. Thus, the court below held that the disposition imposing the gift tax of this case on this premise is unlawful. According to the records and relevant Acts and subordinate statutes, the court below's fact-finding and determination are just, and there are no errors in the misapprehension of legal principles as to Article 31 (3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, as alleged in the grounds for 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.
