Article 98 (1) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 4520 of Dec. 8, 1992) provides that the amount equivalent to 10/100 of the calculated tax amount shall be deducted from the calculated tax amount if voluntary payment is made along with the marginal profit accruing from the transfer of assets. In light of the purport of the system of deduction on the marginal profit accruing from the transfer of assets, which is designed to compensate for the amount equivalent to the interest arising from the advance payment of the transfer income tax and induce voluntary payment (see Supreme Court Decision 96Nu7816, Dec. 20, 196). In light of the fact that the purpose of the system of deduction on the marginal profit accruing from the transfer of assets, the tax amount to be returned shall be the amount equivalent to 10/100 of the calculated tax amount calculated on the basis of the transfer income corresponding to the amount

In addition, on August 12, 1992, the questioning reply, cited by the plaintiff, concerning the calculation of the amount of the payable tax in the case where the tax amount is reduced or exempted, and on the grounds that it does not relate to the calculation of the amount of the payable tax in the case where the taxpayer voluntarily pays part of the amount of the payable tax, it cannot be deemed that the tax practice pointed out in the ground of appeal by the questioning

Therefore, the appeal is 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.
