[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 6, Eul evidence Nos. 3 through 7, the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

1) Whether the instant lease is subject to value-added tax

Article 12 (1) 12 of the former Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 11873, Jun. 7, 2013; hereinafter referred to as the "former Value-Added Tax Act") provides that one of the objects of value-added tax exemption is the lease of a house and land appurtenant thereto, which is prescribed by the Presidential Decree," and Article 34 (1) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 24638, Jun. 28, 2013; hereinafter referred to as the "former Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act") limits the scope of the object of value-added tax exemption to the lease of a building and land appurtenant thereto used as a Si residential (excluding the case of residence for business).

On the other hand, whether a lessee constitutes a lease of a house subject to value-added tax exemption shall be determined on the basis of whether the lessee actually uses the house as a permanent residence on the basis of the objective purpose of using the building in question. In light of the fact that the purpose of the provision on the lease of a house subject to value-added tax exemption is to reduce the lessee’s burden of value-added tax at a social policy level, it shall be determined on the basis of the lessee’s actual usage of the leased house (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2013Du125, Jun. 13, 2013).

The following circumstances, i.e., (a) provided the Plaintiff to re-user the real estate after the lease of the real estate from the Plaintiff. As such, the issue of whether the lease of this case constitutes the subject of value-added tax exemption should be determined on the basis of the usage actually used by the consumer of the final lease of the real estate. (2) However, (a) provides various daily convenience services, such as bedclothes, furniture and lary, cleaning, cleaning, etc., for the purpose of running a strawing business, and (b) the guests are able to use the straws center, sandba, etc. in the building of this case, rather than the rental business of the house; (c) the Plaintiff’s business form can be seen as a lodging business rather than the rental business of the house; and (a) the Plaintiff’s Internet homepage provided the first domestic straws service, and provided the special hotel service, etc. with value-added tax-added tax-free services; and (d) the Plaintiff’s rent and rent for the house of this case as well as rent for the house of this case.

2) Whether the principle of predictability and predictability is violated

On the other hand, inasmuch as the service site business conducted on the instant real estate is deemed as a lodging business subject to value-added tax, the Defendant, in principle, may impose value-added tax on the Plaintiff for the past taxable period until the exclusion period for imposition of value-added tax expires, and the same applies even if the Plaintiff had no intention or negligence or had no possibility of expectation for failure to report and pay value-added tax. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s assertion is groundless.

3) Whether the principles of trust and good faith, and the principles of trust protection, are violated

In tax and legal relations, the principle of trust and good faith and the principle of trust protection are exceptional legal principles applicable only to cases where there are special circumstances deemed that the protection of taxpayer’s trust is consistent with the justice even if there is a sacrifice of the principle of trust and good faith. Therefore, in order to apply the principle of trust and good faith or the principle of trust protection to a tax authority’s act, the trust granted by the tax authority through the public opinion statement, etc. should have an average taxpayer reasonable and justifiable expectation (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2011Du5940, Dec. 26, 2013). In addition, in general, in order to apply the principle of trust and good faith to a tax authority’s act in tax and legal relations, the tax authority must issue a public opinion statement that is subject to trust to the taxpayer, and there is no reason for the taxpayer to believe that the tax authority’s opinion statement is justifiable and trust, and the taxpayer’s act should be conducted in trust and what is the taxpayer’s interest should be infringed (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2015Du15272, etc.

C) In the instant case, there is no evidence to deem that there was an official opinion of the administrative agency that the instant leased service is exempt from value-added tax, or that the tax authority granted the Plaintiff the trust that the Plaintiff would not impose value-added tax. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s assertion on this part is without merit.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
