Reasons

A. On November 23, 2001, the Plaintiff entered into a sales contract with the representative OO of the O sub-agent, who is a seller of buildings in units, for 54-73 Otel 1001 Dong 2002 (total sales price of 3.5 million won). On November 21, 2001, GoO entered into an agreement with the Plaintiff on November 21, 2001 that the above officetel 101 Dong 2002 No. 202, the Plaintiff would terminate the sales contract and pay twice paid by the Plaintiff.

B. Since construction on the 38th floor level promised by GoO was in violation of the Building Act, it was impossible to carry out the construction. On June 25, 2004, the Plaintiff and GoOO entered into a sales contract for the above officetel 101 Dong 2002 (51 square meters, hereinafter referred to as the “the instant officetel”). The sales contract for the above 102 Dong 3002 (51 square meters, hereinafter referred to as the “the instant officetel”) was concluded. The sales price for the prepaid grain paid until the time of the impossibility of construction of the sub-story was KRW 30 million, but the Plaintiff paid the prepaid KRW 50 million in addition, the total amount paid by the Plaintiff as the sales price for the above 101 Dong 2002 is KRW 350,000.

C. On September 1, 206, the Defendant deemed that, according to the taxation data notified by the Director of the Regional Tax Office of OO, the penalty of KRW 350,000,000 as stated in the above Paragraph (1) was appropriated for the sales price of the instant officetel, the Plaintiff corrected and notified the Plaintiff of the global income tax of KRW 159,129,320 for the year 2004 (hereinafter “instant disposition”).

Descriptions of Gap 1, 2, 5, and 7, each of the facts with no grounds for recognition;

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

(1) After considering that the actual sales price of the instant officetel was KRW 7.8 million, the Defendant actually paid by the Plaintiff, but the remaining KRW 3.5 million was deemed to have been appropriated for the penalty of KRW 3.5 million to be paid by the Plaintiff from the GoO. However, although the actual sales price of the instant officetel was not appropriated for the sales price of the instant officetel as KRW 4.3 million, the amount of penalty of KRW 3.5 million was not appropriated for the sales price of the instant officetel, and the Plaintiff only renounced penalty of KRW 3.5 million.5 million.

Therefore, the instant disposition, based on the premise that the Plaintiff was paid a penalty of KRW 350 million, is unlawful.

(2) Even if the Plaintiff’s economic profit from the acquisition of the instant officetel exists, it is the increase in the price from November 2001 to June 2004 of the 38th officetel of the 38th officetel of the same floor that the Plaintiff could have acquired, which, as a matter of course, should be attributed to the Plaintiff, not be deemed to have acquired penalty. Accordingly, the Plaintiff cannot be deemed to have acquired penalty on the ground that only the planned explanation for the event of sale to increase the cost is established on the basis of the price at the time of June 2004 of the instant officetel, and then, the instant disposition that deemed that the Plaintiff appropriated a penalty of KRW 3.5 million to the sale price of the instant officetel is also in violation of the principle of substantial taxation.

(10) On August 23, 2005, KimO sent a letter of confirmation prepared by an employee of the regional tax office with his name and resident registration number written by facsimile. According to the letter of confirmation, on April 16, 2004, on condition that he did not receive penalty on April 16, 2004, the above 103 Dong 3002 (e.g. 51 square) was sold to 794,375,000 won, and approximately 450,000 (e.g., an additional amount of KRW 350,000,000) was actually paid, and the remainder was set off against penalty.

D. Determination

(1) Whether to accept penalty

위 인정사실에게 본 다음과 같은 사정 즉, ① 원고와 같이 복층 38평형을 분양받기로 하였다가 51평형을 분양받기로 한 김OO, 이ΔΔ은 그 총 공급가액을 각 794,375,000원, 768,750,000원으로 한 점, ②고OO은 이 사건 오피스텔의 총 공급가액이 7억 8천만 원이며, 그 중 3억 5천만 원이며, 그 중 3억 5천만 원은 위약금으로 충당되었다고 하고 있는 점, ③ OO지방국세청 소속 직원이 김OO, 김◎◎(이ΔΔ의 남편)로부터 받은 각 확인서에 의하면, 김OO는 794,375,000원, 이ΔΔ은 768,750,000원에 분양받았고, 김OO와 이ΔΔ이 실제로 납입한 대금과 위 각 분양금액과의 차액은 위약금과 상계하기로 하였다고 하는 점, ④ 원고가 이 사건 오피스텔을 분양받을 당시 38평형의 일반분양가액은 4억 5천만 원 상당이었는데 그보다 평수가 훨씬 큰 51평형의 분양가액이 4억 3천만 원이었다고 보기는 어려운 점, ⑤ 원고는 여러 가지 사정을 들어 위약금 3억 5천만 원을 포기할 수밖에 없었다고 하나 원고가 들고 있는 여러 가지 사정을 감안하더라도 3억 5천만 원이나 되는 위약금을 아무런 조건 없이 포기할 수밖에 없었다고 하나 원고가 들고 있는 여러 가지 사정을 감안하더라도 3억 5천만 원이나 되는 위약금을 아무런 조건 없이 포기하였다고 보기 어려운 점 등에 이 사건 변론과정에 나타난 제반 사정을 종합하여 보면, 원고는 위약금 3억 5천만 원을 이 사건 오피스텔에 대한 분양대금의 지금에 충당하는 형식으로 지급받은 것으로 봄이 상당하다.

Therefore, we cannot accept this part of the plaintiff's argument.

(2) Whether the substance over form principle is violated

The key issue of the instant case is whether the Plaintiff received penalty of KRW 3.5 million from the GoOO, and as seen above, the Plaintiff received penalty of KRW 3.5 million, and this constitutes other income provided for in Article 21(1)10 of the Income Tax Act. Moreover, it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff’s profit derived from the instant officetels was the sales premium of KRW 38,00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 won.

Therefore, we cannot accept this part of the plaintiff's assertion.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the disposition of this case is legitimate, and the plaintiff's claim seeking its revocation is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
