Seoul High Court Decision 92Gu25320 delivered on May 25, 1993

Text

All appeals are dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiffs.

Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

On the first ground for appeal

In light of the records, the registration of Nonparty 1 with respect to the land of this case at the time of the original adjudication is merely a registration for the entrustment of name, and its actual owner is Nonparty 2, who is the father of the plaintiffs, and the plaintiffs received the donation of the land of this case from the above Nonparty 2, who is the real owner, by completing the registration of ownership transfer from the above Nonparty 1 on April 11, 1990, by completing the registration of ownership transfer from the plaintiffs as to the land of this case on April 11, 1990. There is no violation of law of misunderstanding of facts against the rules of evidence

On the second ground for appeal

Where a mistake or error is found in part of the facts recognized at the time of the initial taxation within the extent not impairing the identity of the disposition, the tax authority may correct the error or error of the previous fact-finding as a correction disposition, and in such cases, it does not require the revocation of the previous taxation disposition and the new taxation disposition.

In the same purport, the court below found that the defendant imposed gift tax on the land of this case on the ground that the transfer registration of ownership was made on the ground that it was a taxable cause, and recognized the non-party 1, the title trustee, as the donor at the time of the initial imposition, as the father of the plaintiffs recognized the non-party 2 as the donor, the non-party 2, who is the title truster, as the donor, and the decision of correction did not change the basic fact of taxation within the scope of the same taxable cause. Therefore, the court below was just in holding that the tax disposition which the defendant recognized the non-party 1 as the donor cannot be deemed unlawful, and there was no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the identity

Therefore, all appeals are dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
