리스의 경우에는 그 소유 명의에도 불구하고 대외적으로 소유권은 리스회사에게 있음[국패]
Suwon District Court-2018-Ban-54064 ( December 19, 2018)
In the case of lease, the ownership is externally owned by the lessee regardless of its ownership.
Even if the ownership of a leased vehicle is owned by the lessee, the actual owner is a leased company, so it is impossible for the State to receive dividends from the auction of the leased vehicle for the reason of the lessee’s default on national taxes.
