Title

D. Determination

In the event that a title truster transfers real estate to a third party and reverts income from such transfer to the title truster under the substance over form principle, if the title truster, who is the subject of the transfer, belongs to the title truster, the person liable to pay the relevant capital gains tax under the substance over form principle, does not become a taxpayer (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 96Nu6387, Oct. 10, 1997; 2003Da30616, Dec. 12, 2003). Whether a certain income is subject to income tax is deemed as real income from an economic perspective, and it is sufficient to determine that there is a real income and that there is a ability to pay, and the legal assessment of the cause relationship in which the income is derived is lawful and effective. Thus, even if a title truster in good faith and the title truster actually reverts the ownership of the real estate to the title truster under the proviso to Article 4(2) of the former Act on the Registration of Real Estate under Actual Titleholder’s Name (amended by Act No. 10234, Mar. 31, 201, 201). 201).

In light of the above facts, it is reasonable to view that the Plaintiff, a title trustee under the principle of substantial taxation under Article 14 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, concluded a title trust agreement with the Plaintiff, the wife of the instant forest and its surrounding forest, and purchased the instant real estate in the Plaintiff’s name in the process of purchasing the instant forest and its neighboring forest for the purpose of factory site to relocate the factory of the Nonparty Company. Since the sale price of the instant real estate seems to have been actually reverted to the Nonparty Company, even if the ownership of the instant real estate was reverted to the Plaintiff, and was transferred to another person, the Plaintiff, a title trustee under the principle of substantial taxation under Article 14 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, is not a taxpayer of capital gains tax on the instant real estate.

Therefore, the Defendant deemed the Plaintiff as the taxpayer of the capital gains tax on the instant real estate.

The instant disposition is unlawful.

3. Conclusion

The plaintiff's claim is reasonable, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
