2. Where the period from the date of acquiring another house to the date of enforcement of this Decree exceeds one year, two years from the date of acquisition of another house.
(c) Markets:
However, the purpose of Article 155 (1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act is to acquire another house in Korea and temporarily becomes two houses by acquiring it before transferring the said house, within one year from the date of acquisition of the other house - within 2 years before amendment of March 30, 2002 - if the previous house is transferred, the acquisition of the independent house as in this case - the owner of the same house and completed the use inspection by newly constructing the neighborhood living facilities and the house at that place, and on the other hand, the above detached house has already been acquired before it was destroyed, and it cannot be viewed that it constitutes a new house in this case for 19 years after it was newly constructed within 15 (1) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 1755 of March 30, 2002), Article 15 (3) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 17585 of March 30, 2002).
As to this, the Supreme Court Decision cited as above is not the same case as the Plaintiff holding the instant transferred house prior to its removal and new construction, but also dealt with the case of transferring a newly constructed house after the acquisition of another house after the removal and new construction of the house after the acquisition of the new house after the removal and new construction. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s case is different and not applicable to the Plaintiff. The National Tax Service also states that, if a new house is built through the General Rules 89-15 of the Income Tax Act, the previous house is deemed as one house for one household in the case of transferring the previous house within one year from its completion date. Thus, the Plaintiff’s assertion that the instant transferred house constitutes a non-taxation requirement for one house for one household
① The legislative intent of Article 155(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act is to relieve the temporary housing of 2 years. It is stipulated that all general cases are subject to capital gains tax if it becomes two houses temporarily in the process of replacing the housing. It is also stipulated that the requirement should be strictly interpreted as possible. ② The Plaintiff’s acquisition of the housing of this case before its removal on July 14, 199 shall be transferred within 2 years, in principle, under the laws and regulations which were enforced at the time of its removal, and it cannot be viewed as non-taxation of 1 house for 9 years after its completion as a new construction (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 200Du1999, Jul. 14, 199). The Plaintiff’s assertion that new construction of the housing of this case would be subject to non-taxation for 19 years after its completion, and that new construction of the housing would not be subject to taxation for 1 year after its removal (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Da191997.).
In addition, with respect to the time of acquisition of assets, the plaintiff argues that the time of acquisition of the new house should be calculated from the date of acquisition of the new house to the date of delivery of the certificate of completion inspection for the new house pursuant to Article 53 (1) 3 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (Article 162 (4) of the current Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act), and that even in the case of the plaintiff, the time of acquisition of the new house before the removal of this case should be calculated without distinction between the time of acquisition of the new house before the removal of this case and the time of use inspection of the new house, but the above judgment is merely a judgment on the time of acquisition of assets, and it is not applicable to the case of this case that is the time of temporary possession of the two houses for one household. This part of the plaintiff's assertion is not accepted.
Ultimately, the Plaintiff’s assertion is without merit.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
