Title

Facts without dispute over the basis of recognition, Gap evidence 3, 5, and 11, and Eul evidence 1 through 4 (including household numbers), and the purport of the whole pleadings.

D. Determination

(1) Article 6(6) of the Value-Added Tax Act and Article 17(2) of the Enforcement Decree thereof (amended by Presidential Decree No. 24638, Jun. 28, 2013) mean the comprehensive transfer of physical, human, rights, and obligations, etc. including business property, to replace only the management body while maintaining the identity of the business. Thus, the business should be a systematic combination of human and physical facilities so that its social independence can be recognized by being separated from the management body (see Supreme Court Decision 2005Du17294, Nov. 29, 2007).

(2) Succession to the obligation to return the lease deposit, (i) the Plaintiff took over part of the obligation to return the lease deposit, and the Plaintiff did not take over the obligation to return the lease deposit for the first floor and the second floor when entering into a trade contract, and (ii) the transferor’s report on closure of business has left the contents of the business transfer described in the case of comprehensive transfer and acquisition in the report on closure of business, and has not submitted the old non-document document. (iii) The evaluation of assets and liabilities and goodwill is difficult to consider the asset assessment and goodwill (in the case of business transfer, customer relations, business confidentiality, management organization, etc.) in the purchase price, and it is difficult to see that the Plaintiff did not bear any other burden than the burden of proof that the Plaintiff transferred the assets, liabilities, or goodwill related to the contract of this case to the Plaintiff, and that the Plaintiff did not have any other burden than the duty to prove that there is no other provision regarding the transfer and acquisition between the Defendant and the non-party 2 under the contract of this case, and that there is no other burden of proof that the transferee or non-party 2 has any other evidence.

(3) Therefore, the instant disposition refusing to confirm the fact of transaction by deeming the business transfer is unlawful.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the claim of this case is reasonable, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
