C. Determination

(1) As to the first argument

As seen earlier, the Defendant seized the apartment owned by the Plaintiff on May 25, 199 with respect to the instant global income tax, and released the attachment on January 10, 2006. Therefore, the extinctive prescription of the instant global income tax collection right is to run again from January 10, 2006, when the apartment was interrupted at the time of the attachment of the apartment and the cancellation thereof. Therefore, it is apparent that the Defendant rendered the instant disposition prior to the expiration of the extinctive prescription of the collection right, and therefore, this part of the Plaintiff’s assertion is without merit.

(2) On the second argument

In an administrative litigation seeking revocation on the grounds of illegality of taxation disposition, in principle, the tax authority bears the burden of proof with respect to the legality of disposition and the existence of the facts requiring taxation. However, with respect to the existence of special circumstances belonging to this example according to the empirical rule, the burden of proof or the burden of proof must be returned to the taxpayer. As seen earlier, it shall be presumed in light of the empirical rule that the defendant urged the payment in the course of establishing the global income tax of this case through several correction procedures prior to the seizure of this case. Thus, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant did not receive a demand notice on the payment of the global income tax of this case prior to the seizure of this case. Thus, the plaintiff's assertion on this part is insufficient to acknowledge only the items of evidence 5-1 and 2

(3) On the third argument

According to the above evidence, the defendant's internal electronic resolution procedure and the plaintiff and its debtor who are delinquent in accordance with Article 41 (1) and (3) of the National Tax Collection Act can be acknowledged that the defendant notified the seizure of claims by entering the contents of Article 44 (1) and (2) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act in accordance with Article 41 (1) and (3) of the same Act. Thus, the contents and procedure of the notification are lawful. In preparing the notification of seizure of claims, the defendant must obtain approval in writing, not in electronic form, or affix the defendant's official seal to the notification of seizure of claims. Thus,

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and the judgment of the court of first instance is just, and the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
