As a result, even though the processing was entitled to the deduction of value-added tax based on the list of the total tax invoices by customer, it is not subject to value-added tax since the Defendant already paid value-added

The defendant sold (title 1 omitted) oil equivalent to 5,063,117,250 won in total to the gas station (title 1 omitted) during the period from January 1, 206 to March 31, 206. In order to pretend the supply of oil from the non-indicted 2 corporation because there is no material for purchase, the name plates, corporate seal, etc. necessary for the issuance of the tax invoice from the non-indicted 2 corporation to the non-indicted 4,548,273,635 cause of purchase to the non-indicted 2 corporation, and then ordered the non-indicted corporation 2 to submit a false tax invoice for value-added tax to the tax office, and received it for 34.

After that, between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the Defendant sold free oil equivalent to KRW 10,194,122,698 in the gas station (title 2 omitted). As seen earlier, the Defendant prepared a false purchase tax invoice for the total supply value of non-indicted 2 corporation 9,940,580,071, which is the non-indicted 2 corporation, and had the non-indicted 2 corporation submit it to the tax office. On July 25, 2006, the Defendant was deducted from value-added tax amount of KRW 994,058,007 in the competent tax office including the sale and purchase amount.

Meanwhile, around October 25, 2006, the Defendant supplied to Nonindicted Incorporated Co. 3 to Nonindicted Co. 6 (business registration number omitted) during the period from July 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006 (i.e., the amount equivalent to 3,744,583,638 won, including the amount equivalent to 8,640,898,159 won, 864,089,815 won, which is 10% of the total sales of Nonindicted Co. 7 and other 33 businesses, including the amount equivalent to 3,74,54,561, 768, 467, 4685, 467, 4685, 467, 4685, 467, 4685, 467, 4685, 465, 467, 4685, 467, 4685, 467

【Judgment

㈎ 2006년도 1기분 부가가치세 부분

First, according to the above facts, the sum of the value-added tax for the first period of July 25, 2006, which was finalized on July 2006, KRW 1,448,885,370 (attached Form 1, 2) in total, the sum of the value-added tax for the first period of 2006 (attached Table 2, 2006) constitutes a crime of evasion of tax, since the Defendant purchased a false tax invoice from Nonindicted Co. 2, even though the Defendant was unable to receive the original input tax by receiving oil through a non-data transaction, and was entitled to receive a false tax invoice from the supplier of the processed oil on the tax invoice, and thus, was entitled to the deduction of KRW 1,48,85,370 in total of the input tax amount as above.

㈏ 2006년도 2기분 부가가치세 부분

Next, in 206, the value-added tax (attached Form 3/4) for the second quarter (3/4 quarter) of 2006, which was reported on October 25, 2007 and confirmed on January 25, 2007, and the value-added tax (attached Form 4/4 quarter) for the second quarter (4/4 quarter) of 2006, declared and determined on January 25, 2007, even if there was no actual transaction, and even if there was a tax evasion by using a false purchase tax invoice on data even if there was no actual transaction, the business owner issued a false tax invoice even though there was no actual transaction with another business operator, and if the business operator filed a return on the amount of the input tax, the portion is not in the position to bear value-added tax because it did not actually provide goods or services. Therefore, in calculating the amount of the tax evaded after unfairly deducting the input tax amount, it is reasonable to exclude the portion of the output tax amount reported by the issuance of the above false tax invoice.

Therefore, the following circumstances acknowledged by the aforementioned evidence are the oil sales agent established by Nonindicted Co. 6 with the representative director of Nonindicted Co. 4 and 12 as Nonindicted Co. 13. In light of the fact that Nonindicted Co. 4, as the representative director of Nonindicted Co. 3, even though there was no real transaction with the said Nonindicted Co. 6 Co. 3, the value of supply between July 1, 2006 and September 30, 2006; the amount equivalent to KRW 3,74,583,00; and the amount equivalent to KRW 2,370,963,00 from October 1, 206 to December 31, 2006; the sales agent of Nonindicted Co. 6 is presumed to have been issued with the above Nonindicted Co. 3, the sales agent of the above Nonindicted Co. 4 and the sales agent of the above Nonindicted Co. 6 Co. 3, Ltd. were not to be found to have been issued with the above sales agent’s false tax invoice; the sales agent of the above KRW 61,504,50630,70.

Furthermore, with respect to the amount of value-added tax evaded for the second period (3/4 quarter) in 2006 between July 1, 2006 and September 30, 2006, the amount of value-added tax evaded for the second period (3/4 quarter), as seen above, 489,631,452 won (=7,896,314,521 won (=8,640,898,159-3,74,583,638), 10%) x 10% of the input tax amount scheduled for the same period is 489,631,452 won (i.e., 8,640,89,153, 15 gas stations), and 100 x 107,983,386,4786,487,486,386,47,487,486,786,37,486,47,487, and 947

In addition, from October 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006, the amount of value-added tax evaded for the second quarter (4/4 quarter) of 2006 between the two years from December 1, 2006 x (117,120,400 won [3,429,526,000 won-29,370,370,370,963,000 won] x 107,7085 won [the amount of value-added tax evaded for the same period excluding false sales from the above non-indicted 1 and 6 corporation] among the output tax amount reported for the above period x 17,120,40,400 won [the amount of sales 1,171,207,307,407,500 won]; the amount of value-added tax evaded for the first period x 105 won [the amount of value-added tax evaded for the non-indicted corporation 】 6060,5070,5070,70

Ultimately, the Defendant’s evasion tax amount of value-added tax for the second term (3/4, 4/4 quarter) in 2006 in relation to the purchase and sale of Nonindicted Co. 3 was 479,29,296,510 won in total (371,703,722 + 107,592,788 won in + 107,585 won (=746,162,085 won + 3,333,425,50 won). Nevertheless, the lower court recognized the evasion tax amount as 4,079,587,585 won in 206, and there is no evidence to recognize that the amount of tax evaded was 4,079,587,585 won in addition to 37,585 won in relation to the purchase and sale of Nonindicted Co. 3.

· Sub-committee theory

Therefore, the defendant's appeal does not have reason for the part on the evasion of value-added tax for the first quarter (1/4, 2/4 quarter) in 2006, but has reason for the second quarter (3/4, 4/4 quarter) in 2006.

(b) Alteration of indictment;

Before the judgment on the Defendant’s assertion of unfair sentencing, the first head of the facts charged was examined ex officio, and the prosecutor applied for changes in the indictment to the effect that “The Defendant was sentenced to two years of suspension of execution for the violation of the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act by the Seoul Northern District Court on December 29, 2006, and the judgment became final and conclusive on January 6, 2007 and is still in the period of suspension of execution,” and that “the Defendant was exempted from value-added tax amounting to KRW 454,827,363” in paragraph 3(3)10-11, “including the evasion of value-added tax amounting to KRW 454,827,363,” and the judgment of the court below was no longer maintained since this was changed to the subject of the judgment.

3. Conclusion

If so, the defendant's appeal is well-grounded as seen above, and there are grounds for reversal of authority above. Thus, without examining the defendant's argument of unfair sentencing, the judgment of the court below is reversed in accordance with Article 364 (2) and (6) of the Criminal Procedure Act, and the judgment below is again reversed, and the arguments are
