C. The Plaintiff Company did not collect the amount equivalent to value-added tax by applying the zero-rate tax rate under the Value-Added Tax Act on the grounds that it presented a written confirmation of purchase of raw materials for foreign exchange earnings issued by the head of foreign exchange bank (hereinafter “written confirmation of purchase”). Accordingly, even though it reported the first and second half-year value-added tax in 2002, it was refunded the amount of tax already paid because it was sold at zero-rate tax equivalent to the sales amount arising from the transaction of the instant gold bullion.

D. The Defendant denied the application of zero-rate tax rate for the instant gold bullion transaction on October 10, 2005 on the grounds that the instant seller did not actually export the instant gold bullion, and that the Plaintiff Company knew or could have known such circumstances, and notified the Plaintiff Company of KRW 1,870,620,70 for the first quarter of 2002, value-added tax for the second quarter of 2002, and KRW 3,289,097,50 for the second quarter of 2002 (hereinafter “instant taxation”).

2. Whether the taxation disposition is legitimate

A. Summary of the plaintiff's assertion

The Plaintiff supplied gold bullion by applying zero tax rate to the instant sales offices based on a purchase confirmation lawfully issued by the head of a foreign exchange bank, and was entirely unaware of the defect in the process of issuing the purchase confirmation or of whether the supplied gold bullion has been actually exported. As such, the instant taxation disposition based on a different premise is unlawful.

B. After paying customs duties and value-added tax at the time of the import of gold bullion, the Plaintiff issued sales tax invoices by applying the zero-rate tax rate under the Value-Added Tax Act through a certificate of purchase of raw materials for foreign exchange received from the head of foreign exchange and a certificate of receipt of goods to the seller, and issued a certificate of payment for basic raw materials (division certificate) to the seller with regard to the customs duties upon filing the value-added tax return.

C. On October 10, 2005, the Defendant issued a false tax invoice in collusion with the Plaintiff’s seller for the purpose of evading taxes, and issued a false tax invoice to the Plaintiff for the purpose of disguised zero-rate sales, and notified the Plaintiff of KRW 1,870,650,70 for the first term portion of value-added tax in the year 2002, and KRW 3,289,097,50 for the second term portion of value-added tax in the year 2002 (hereinafter “instant disposition”).

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The Plaintiff actually traded the same contents as the tax invoice of this case, and did not participate in the solicitation for unfair refund of value-added tax. The Plaintiff’s conspiracy with a trader to unlawfully refund value-added tax is merely the Defendant’s trend without any evidence. The Plaintiff did not intend to evade taxes jointly with gold bullion companies and did not know that the Plaintiff did not engage in the other company’s act. Accordingly, the Defendant’s disposition of this case was unlawful, based on the premise that the instant tax invoice was a false tax invoice or the Plaintiff knew or could have known of it.

(c) Fact of recognition;

(1) In 1983, ○○○○, a metal refining company, entered the Plaintiff’s representative director, and was engaged in overseas business and futures business until he retires in 195, and was in charge of precious metal business from 1992 to 1995. This ○○ established the Plaintiff corporation by introducing △△△○, a corporation with which he had been well aware of from that date, to 1992.

(2) The OV01 ○○○, which is the basic document of the purchase approval, submitted by the △△△ corporation between January 17, 2002 and January 31, 2002, is based on the export contract with the Hong Kong W○○ Co., Ltd., but the above documents are false purchase approval.

(3) All the purchasing places of gold bullion sold by the Plaintiff are materials, and all the purchasing places of gold bullion purchased from the said purchasing places were accused of tax evasion by all the competent tax offices.

(4) For gold bullion, various changes, including value-added tax evasion, etc., are crossing in order to address the price of gold bullion, the domestic market price of which is higher than the international market price, accounts for 66% of the domestic circulation, and accordingly, the price of gold bullion, which has been regularly imported, takes place.

(5) The Plaintiff suspended the import of gold bullion after May 2004 (from April 1, 2005, the obligation to provide security for tax payment to wholesalers of tax-free gold bullion under paragraph (11) was enforced).

(6) In the event that the gold bullion import is not enough now, this ○○○ requested a loan to the △△△△ corporation, and the lending title holder is this △△, ○○, ○○, ○○, and △△, △△, etc., and this △△, △△, and this △△, △△, etc., is all the relatives of △△,

(7) In the Seoul Central District Court Decision 2006 Gohap 1073, 1073, 1096, and 1141 Decided January 12, 2007, "the defendant Han-○, Kim○, and Kang-○" is established or taken over by the company, etc. trading gold bullion directly or by using the company, etc. that trades gold bullion, or by using the relative, relative, and a person who has no economic ability, etc., and formed a gold bullion trader by posting the gold bullion at each stage, such as import, domestic distribution, export, etc., and then forming a gold bullion trader.

First, if gold bullion is imported and sold in a successive manner at the import stage, an importer or a seller thereafter shall be entitled to refund customs duties paid at the time of import by requiring each purchaser to obtain a certificate of division of import declaration (hereinafter referred to as "certificate of division") in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of this Article, and Article 4-3-1 of the Public Notice on the Handling of Customs Duties, etc. with respect to Raw Materials for Export; however, the above certificate of division shall contain details of the volume of transaction, transaction parties, transaction period, transaction price, customs duty and additional tax payment, etc. among the imported gold bullion, and if the contents of the certificate are entered in the Korea Customs Service-related computer system, the detailed flow of transaction is grasped rapidly and accurately, so that if the certificate of division is normally issued to the last transferee, it shall not be issued until the last transferee, thereby avoiding the evasion of value-added tax by the tax authority.

Second, prior to June 30, 2003, an export approval letter was issued illegally using a forged export contract with a person with no economic capacity. After July 1, 2003, an import company which has obtained approval of the qualifications for the trade of gold bullion and actually controls the defendant with zero-rate or zero-rate purchase contract or a pre-stage purchase company using the qualifications for the trade of gold bullion, and thus, it is impossible to pay the value-added tax in reality by repeatedly purchasing gold bullion at a price lower than the purchase price and supplying gold bullion at a price lower than the purchase price. On the other hand, it is impossible to pay the value-added tax from the beginning without reporting the tax base and tax amount under the Value-Added Tax Act, or even if it is reported, it is difficult to directly or indirectly withdraw the balance of the tax amount collected for the trade to the company's account and then make it difficult for the other party to directly or indirectly purchase the gold bullion, and then, it is difficult for the other party to the tax investigation to directly or indirectly withhold the sales amount of gold bullion in the domestic market.

Finally, at the export stage, exporters can finally realize profits from the evasion of value-added tax only after two gold bullion exporters have evaded the value-added tax by such unlawful means as above by a bombing company. Thus, exporters would have properly purchased and exported gold bullion over which the value-added tax was evaded by a bombing company through the above bombing company operated by the Defendant, etc., but the trade is determined in advance by the Defendant, etc. in the transaction of gold bullion between the bombing company and the exporter, and thus, the actual owner of the income, profit, calculation, or profit, etc. subject to taxation is not the Defendant, etc., but the exporter is not the exporter, and thus the exporter is not the exporter. In such a case, the exporter could not receive the refund of the value-added tax collected in the process of purchasing the exported goods under subparagraph 1 of Article 2 of the Act, but the exporter would obtain the criminal proceeds by illegally obtaining the refund of value-added tax by means of normal purchase.
