2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The plaintiffs were registered as shareholders, directors, auditors, etc. necessary for the incorporation of the non-party company formally by stealing the name by ○○○○○○ (the Plaintiff’s ○○○○○○○○’s accommodation, Plaintiff’s ○○○○○’s birth) and did not actually exercise the right to shares, and did not participate in the management of the company as directors and auditors. In particular, after reporting the closure of ○○ Transportation on November 29, 2005, the Plaintiffs did not know of the trade name change from ○○○ Transportation to ○○ Logistics, and the change of representative director, etc., and thus, the Plaintiffs did not fall under the oligopolistic shareholder under Article 39(1)2 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, but the instant disposition based on the premise that

The ○○○○ was retired on March 30, 201 to the representative director of ○○ Transportation, and was retired on November 10, 2003.

(5) The plaintiffs filed a complaint with ○○○○○, ○○○, ○○, ○○, ○○, ○○○, ○○○○, and ○○○○○ registered as the shareholders or executive officers of the non-party company by stealing their names among those known to her, on September 27, 2007, on the grounds of fabrication of private documents, uttering of falsified documents, and fraudulent entry in the original text of a notarial deed. However, the aforementioned persons as a result of the prosecutor’s investigation conducted a non-prosecution disposition against the non-party who was suspected of being suspected of having any suspicion due to lack of evidence around March 2008 (in particular, ○○ stated in the above case that the plaintiffs registered the non-party company as the shareholders

(6) Meanwhile, at the time of incorporation of the non-party company, Plaintiff ○○ subscribed 6,00 shares as promoters, and Plaintiff ○○ subscribed for shares of 6,000 shares and subscribed for shares of 6,000 shares, each of the above acquisitions was made by a lawful document with the seal affixed by the Plaintiffs.

D. Determination

(1) Article 39(2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes provides that "a person who is a relative or has a special relationship with a shareholder or partner with limited liability and whose total amount of stocks held or investments is not less than 51/100 of total number of stocks issued or total amount of investments made by the juristic person in question."

In such a case, whether it is an oligopolistic shareholder shall be determined by whether it is a member of a group of stocks owned by the majority, and even if there is no fact involved in the management of the company, it shall not be determined solely by the fact that it is not an oligopolistic shareholder, and the fact of ownership of stocks shall be proved by the data such as the register of shareholders, the statement of stock movement, or the register of corporate register, etc. However, even if it appears to be a single shareholder in light of the above data, if there are circumstances such as the taxation authority stolen the name of the shareholder or registered in the name other than the name of the real owner, it shall not be deemed to be a shareholder only in the name of the shareholder, but it shall be proved by the nominal owner who asserts that he is not a shareholder (see Supreme Court Decision 2003Du1615, Jul. 9, 2004).

(2) As of the date of establishment of the principal tax liability in the status of the non-party company’s shareholding (the date of December 31, 2006), the fact that the plaintiffs are shareholders of 12,000 share out of 20,000 shares issued by the above company is a 60% shareholder out of the total number of shares issued by the above company is seen above. The plaintiffs constitute a paternal relationship within the sixth degree of relationship with each other, which constitutes a relative or a person with a special relationship as prescribed by the Presidential Decree under Article 39(2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes. Thus, the circumstance that the plaintiffs used their names by theft or are not the actual share owner

In light of the records of the change in the permit for trucking transport business, the details of the transfer of executives and employees of ○○○ and the non-party company, and the relationship between ○○○ and the plaintiffs, ○○○○○ does not seem to have any doubt as to whether ○○○○ is not operating the ○○ and the non-party company as the actual owner of the trucking transport business. However, upon request, ○○○○’s cooperation for the establishment of the non-party company appears to have delivered the seal imprints, etc. to the non-party company. In addition, in light of the fact that ○○○ merely controlled and managed the non-party company, and there is no specific proof as to the investment relation, such as that ○○○’s investment in the shares was made by ○○○○○’s funds, it is difficult to accept the Plaintiffs’ respective statements on the 15,56,7,8-1 through 7, Gap’s evidence Nos. 11 through 13-11, 11-2, and 1-1-1-2.

3. Conclusion

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