2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiffs' assertion

The Plaintiffs received title trust from the ○○○ ○○ ○○ boom, which is not a single individual, and the ○○ ○○○ boom is exempt from taxation on profit-making business in practice as a religious organization. Therefore, there is no room to acknowledge the purpose of tax avoidance. Moreover, the ○○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ b○ cl3, which is a juristic person run by the ○○○ b○ b○ b○ b○○ b○ b○ cl

B. Relevant statutes

Attached Form 3 is as listed in the relevant statutes.

C. Determination

1) The title truster of the issue shares

The Defendants asserted that the title truster of the shares at issue is ○○○, but it is insufficient to recognize the above alleged facts solely on the basis of the statements in the Evidence Nos. 2 through 17, and 19 through 24. However, the Plaintiffs are the title truster of the shares at issue who is the ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○, and the Defendants also added the same content through the preparatory document as of September 20, 2016. Therefore, if the foregoing disposition is allowed, the instant disposition based on Article 45-2(1) of

Therefore, the subject matter of a taxation disposition lawsuit is objective existence of the tax amount determined by the tax authority. As such, the tax authority may submit new data that can support the legitimacy of the tax base or tax amount recognized in the relevant disposition, or exchange and change the reasons within the scope that maintains the identity of the disposition, and it does not necessarily mean that the tax authority can determine the legality of the disposition only by the data at the time of the disposition or only claim the reasons for the disposition at the time of the disposition (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2009Du1617, Jan. 27, 2011).

According to the background of the above disposition, the reason for the disposition added in ancillary to the original reason for the disposition in this case is merely different from the legal evaluation of whether the actual ownership of the shares in question is deemed as ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

2) Whether there was no purpose of tax avoidance

As long as the fact of title trust is acknowledged, the claimant has the burden of proving that there was no purpose of tax avoidance. The nominal owner who bears the burden of proving the burden of proof has a clear objective of tax avoidance to the extent that there was no objective of tax avoidance in the title trust, and that there was no tax avoidance in the future at the time of the title trust or in the future, it shall be proved to the extent that the ordinary person is not doubtful, based on objective and correct evidence (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2007Du17175, Sept. 8, 2011).

On the other hand, Article 3(1) and (2) of the former Corporate Tax Act (amended by Act No. 8141 of Dec. 30, 2006) provides that a non-profit domestic corporation shall impose corporate tax on income earned from profit-making business. Each statement in Gap evidence Nos. 4 and 22 (including the serial number) is insufficient to recognize that there was a non-taxation practice for the non-profit domestic corporation to permanently exempt the above corporate tax, etc. from the above corporate tax to a religious organization. Rather, according to the evidence No. 18 of the non-party company’s 2003 business year, according to the non-party company’s 2003 business year’s 200 billion won, the shares issued by the non-party company or its affiliated company (excluding some affiliated company held shares in the name of 0000 billion won) were in a title trust state, and thus, the issue at 000 ○○ Association, which is an issue at issue, can not be seen as the application of the former Local Tax Act.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiffs' claims against the defendants are dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
