From August 25, 2016 to November 1, 2016, the Defendant: (a) deemed that the instant amount was out of the company and reverted to the Plaintiff’s representative KimA as a result of the tax investigation conducted with respect to the Plaintiff; and (b) on December 1, 2016, the Defendant notified the Plaintiff of the change in the amount of income that the type of income was bonus, year to which the income belongs, year to which the income belongs, amount of income KRW 537,745,520, and the income earner was KimA (hereinafter “instant disposition”).

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, significant facts in this court, Gap evidence 1 to 6 (including paper numbers), Eul evidence 1 to 6, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the disposition is lawful;

A. The plaintiff's assertion

Since the instant money was paid on the premise that it would be immediately recovered from the beginning, it cannot be deemed that it was out of the company and reverted to KimA, even if it was out of the company, the instant disposition is unlawful in light of the fact that it should be treated as internal reservation since it was recovered the amount and reported by including it in gross income before the tax investigation, even if it was out of the company.

B. Relevant statutes

Attached Form is as shown in the attached Form.

C. Relevant legal principles

According to Article 67 of the Corporate Tax Act and Article 106 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 26981, Feb. 12, 2016; hereinafter the same), where a corporation’s income subject to taxation is omitted by omitting sales or appropriating expenses for processing, etc., the tax authority shall dispose of the income through bonus, dividend, other outflow, etc. according to the person to whom the amount included in the calculation of earnings belongs, where it is obvious that the amount included in the calculation of earnings has been divulged out of the company. However, where it is clear that the person to whom the income belongs belongs, but it is unclear, it shall be deemed that the corporation’s income equivalent to the amount omitted sales or processing expenses has been appropriated in the account book, barring any special circumstance, if the corporation fails to enter the sales in the account book despite the fact of sales or calculates the cost of processing in the account book, and in this case, it is necessary to prove the special circumstance on the side of the corporation claiming this (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2007Du17317.

D. Determination

In full view of the following circumstances acknowledged by comprehensively taking account of the aforementioned evidence, evidence Nos. 7 through 9, and evidence Nos. 7 through 9 and the purport of the entire pleadings, it is reasonable to deem the instant money to have been leaked as the processing cost, so the instant disposition is lawful, and the Plaintiff’s assertion is groundless.

① 13 persons, such as KimB, to whom the instant money was transferred, did not provide the Plaintiff with the service related to the sales agency, and there is no other cause to receive the instant money, and thus, the Plaintiff’s inclusion of the instant money in the deductible expenses is deemed to constitute a case where the cost was calculated in the account book.

② After the instant money was paid to 13 persons, including KimB, etc., a considerable period of time has elapsed since the amount equivalent to the instant money was re-paid to the Plaintiff via KimA and XX construction, and there was no use in the process for the Plaintiff’s work, such as operational funds.

③ The Plaintiff, a contractor, was unable to settle the sales price of KRW 10 billion in Y Construction, a contractor, due to low sales performance, and tried to form a appearance, such as paying a maximum amount of sales agency fees to sales agents in order to delay the settlement date through negotiations with Y Construction. Accordingly, the Plaintiff, an affiliated company, as a sales agent, transferred the instant money to 13 accounts such as KimB, etc. on April 2014, asserting that: (a) the Plaintiff, as an affiliated company, transferred the instant money to 13 accounts such as KimB, etc.; (b) however, (c) the construction was likely to suffer financial difficulties by receiving loans from financial institutions around April 201, and thus, (d) the possibility of resolving the payment for construction payments was collected through construction in Rai KimA, and Y construction.

Around 2013, the sale status of a commercial building constructed by the above project was low, and accordingly, the Plaintiff’s related company, had difficulty in paying the construction cost for Y Construction. However, even if the Plaintiff transferred the instant money to Y Construction in order to favorable negotiations with YB, KimA transferred the instant money from 13 persons, such as KimB, etc. on the same day, and the instant money was transferred from KimB, but KimA was transferred to Y construction, but KimA was not only the Plaintiff but also the representative of Y construction, and the relevant construction was managed as repayment of shareholders’ short-term loans on May 2014, it is reasonable to deem that KimA, a representative of the Plaintiff, actually acquired the right to dispose of the instant money in light of the fact that the Plaintiff paid the instant money to the Plaintiff around the same day.

Ultimately, it is difficult to view that the instant money was transferred to 13 persons, such as KimB, etc. on the premise that it would have been recovered to the Plaintiff. There is no special circumstance to deem otherwise that the instant money was not leaked out of the company.

(4) Where the head of the competent tax office determines or revises the tax base and amount of national taxes and makes a report on the amount of outflow from the company, such as omission of sales, processing expenses, etc., to be collected and included in gross income as tax adjustment, the disposition of income shall be treated as retained earnings (the main sentence of Article 106 (4) of the

However, on August 21, 2014, the Plaintiff notified the Plaintiff of a revised return, etc. on the premise that the instant money was disposed of as “in-house reserve” and accordingly, the Plaintiff did not report the revised corporate tax for the business year 2013, until the Defendant rendered a decision to impose corporate tax on October 1, 2014. Therefore, the said provision cannot be applied.
