Purport of claim

The same shall apply to the order.

Reasons

1. Basic facts

The following facts are either disputed between the parties, or acknowledged by Gap evidence 2, Gap evidence 3, Gap evidence 4, Gap evidence 5, Eul evidence 5-1, 5-8, and the whole purport of the pleadings.

A. On December 28, 1992, the plaintiffs (appointed parties) and the designated parties (hereinafter the plaintiffs) are part of the members of the ○○-dong Reconstruction Housing Association (total 57 members of the housing association of this case) established with authorization from the ○○○-dong Housing Construction Promotion Act pursuant to Article 44 of the Housing Construction Promotion Act (hereinafter the "the housing association of this case").

B. After obtaining the approval of the project plan on December 21, 1994, the housing association of this case newly constructed an apartment 314 households and a commercial building, and around 197, 57 households among them sold out to the association members. The remaining apartment units and one commercial building were sold to the public. The director of the regional tax office of the regional tax office of the instant housing association conducted a survey on the quality of income tax for the housing association of this case, and notified each member of the taxation data to the district tax office that the business income of the housing association of this case was reverted to the association members.

C. In accordance with the above taxation data notification, the competent tax office deemed that the plaintiffs obtained the "business income amount" in 197 as a joint business with other members of the housing association of this case, and on December 28, 2000, the comprehensive income tax belonging to the plaintiffs in 1997 was imposed and notified as shown in the attached Table 1 (hereinafter the "tax disposition in this case"). The district tax office that did not pay it, which did not notify the plaintiffs of seizure and public auction, made each of the relevant comprehensive income tax payment on each payment date listed in the attached Table 1.

D. In addition, Defendant ○○○○ City had the Plaintiffs respectively pay the resident tax to be imposed on the income tax according to the instant taxation, and the Plaintiffs paid the relevant resident tax on each payment date listed in the separate sheet No. 1.

2. The assertion;

A. The plaintiffs' assertion

Although the plaintiffs correspond to the "organization deemed as a corporation" under Article 13 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, the defendants found the housing association in this case to be the "organization which is not a corporation" and thus imposed income tax on the plaintiffs who are union members because they obtained the business income of the association. Thus, the tax disposition in this case is null and void as the defects are significant and obvious, and the return and payment of income tax is null and void as well as the return and payment of income tax are null and void as the defendants are liable to return the paid tax

B. The defendants' assertion

Defendant Republic of Korea asserts that even though the instant housing association obtained the authorization of the competent market, it constitutes a “organization which is not a juristic person but which is not a juristic person,” and thus, the instant taxation is lawful, and that even if the instant taxation is illegal, it cannot be seen that the defect is apparent even if it is illegal, the instant taxation is not void.

Defendant ○○○○ asserts that the disposition of imposition of global income tax imposed on the Plaintiffs is legitimate, unless the disposition of imposition of global income tax imposed by the Republic of Korea against the Plaintiffs is revoked, as the resident tax to be imposed on the Plaintiffs under Articles 172 and 177-4 of the Local Tax Act.

3. Determination

A. Determination on the claim against Defendant Republic of Korea

(1) Whether the instant taxation disposition was unlawful

(A) In full view of the details of the instant taxation and the arguments made by the Defendant Republic of Korea, the instant housing association was not a “unincorporated organization deemed a corporation” under Article 13(1)1 and (4) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, and the instant housing association, under Article 2 of the former Enforcement Rule of the Income Tax Act (amended by Ordinance of the Ministry of Finance and Economy No. 202 of Apr. 30, 2001; hereinafter the same) on the premise that the instant housing association is a resident under Article 1(1)1 and (3) of the Income Tax Act, based on the premise that the instant housing association is not a “organization deemed a corporation” under Article 13(1)1 and (4) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, and thus, the instant housing association was appointed

(B) Relevant laws and regulations

(1) Article 13 (1) of the Framework Act on National Taxes: An unincorporated association, foundation, or other organization (hereinafter referred to as an "organization without legal personality") which falls under any of the following subparagraphs shall be deemed a juristic person and subject to the provisions of this Act and other tax-related Acts:

1. Unregistered associations, foundations or other organizations which are established with permission or authorization of the competent authorities or registered with the competent authorities under Acts and subordinate statutes;

(2) Paragraph (4) of the same Article: The liability for the national taxes of an organization without a legal personality, which is deemed as a juristic person under paragraphs (1) and (2) of the same Article (hereinafter referred to as "organization deemed as a juristic person"), shall be discharged

(3) Article 1 of the Corporate Tax Act: The definitions of terms used in this Act shall be as follows:

2. The term "non-profit domestic corporation" means a domestic corporation which falls under any of the following items:

(c) Organizations treated as corporations under the provisions of Article 13 (4) of the Framework Act on National Taxes (hereinafter referred to as “organizations treated as corporations”);

(4) Article 2 (Tax Liability) (1) of the same Act: The following corporations shall be liable to pay corporate taxes on their income under this Act:

3. Domestic corporations.

(5) Article 3 (1) of the same Act: Corporate tax shall be imposed on the following incomes: Provided, That for non-profit domestic corporations and foreign corporations, it shall be imposed only on income under subparagraph 1:

1. Income for each business year; and

(6) Article 1 (Tax Liability) (1) of the Income Tax Act: Any individual falling under any of the following subparagraphs shall be liable to pay the income tax on his respective income under this Act:

1. Any individual who has a domicile in Korea or has a domicile in Korea for not less than one year (hereinafter referred to as "resident");

(7) Paragraph (3) of the same Article: An unincorporated association, foundation or other organization, other than an organization deemed a corporation under Article 13 (4) of the Framework Act on National Taxes (hereinafter referred to as an “organization deemed a corporation”), shall be deemed a resident and subject to the application of this Act.

(8) Article 2 of the Enforcement Rule of the former Income Tax Act (Classification of Unincorporated Organizations): Organizations, other than organizations deemed corporations under Article 13 (1) and (2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, whose representative or manager is appointed, but whose method of profit distribution or ratio of profit distribution is not determined, shall be deemed one resident and subject to the application of the Act.

(C) Determination

Article 44 (1) of the Housing Construction Promotion Act provides that a cooperative shall obtain authorization from the competent Mayor, etc. when it intends to build its members' housing. In this case, the competent Mayor, etc. shall be deemed to fall under the permission or authorization from the competent authority under Article 13 (1) 1 of the Framework Act on National Taxes. Thus, a housing association established with authorization from the competent Mayor, etc. in accordance with Article 44 (1) of the Housing Construction Promotion Act shall be deemed to fall under the "organization without a legal personality" under Article 13 (1) 1 and (4)

Meanwhile, since the housing association of this case was established with the authorization of the ○○ market pursuant to Article 44(1) of the Housing Construction Promotion Act, it constitutes an unincorporated organization deemed a corporation pursuant to Article 13(1)1 and (4) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, corporate tax should be imposed pursuant to Article 1 subparag. 2(c) and Article 2(1)1 of the Corporate Tax Act with respect to such income. Accordingly, the tax disposition of this case is unlawful, on the premise that the housing association of this case is a non-corporate entity under Article 13(1)1 and (4) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, and that the plaintiffs are residents under the Income Tax Act, and the comprehensive income tax should be imposed with respect to such business income.

(2) Whether the defect in the instant taxation disposition is grave and apparent and thus null and void.

First, in order to make a tax disposition null and void a year, it is insufficient to say that there is an illegal ground for the disposition, and it should be objectively clear that the defect is an important violation of laws and regulations, and in order to determine whether the defect is significant and obvious, it is necessary to reasonably consider the purpose, meaning, function, etc. of the laws and regulations, which serve as the basis for the relevant tax disposition, and at the same time, the specificity of the specific case itself. In addition, a tax disposition imposed on a person who does not have any legal relations or factual relations which are subject to tax, is serious and obvious, but if there are objective circumstances to believe that it is subject to tax assessment on any legal relations or factual relations which are not subject to tax, and it can only be clearly examined the factual relations, it cannot be said that it is apparent that the defect is apparent even if it is serious.

On the other hand, the defendant Republic of Korea ruled that the housing association of this case is not a "organization without a legal personality" under Article 13 (1) 1 and (4) of the Framework Act on National Taxes and it is not a "organization deemed a corporation" under Article 1 (3) of the Income Tax Act and Article 2 of the former Enforcement Rule of the Income Tax Act, and therefore, Article 2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Income Tax Act provides that an organization shall be regarded as a resident although its representative or manager is appointed but the method of distributing profits or distribution ratio is not determined. However, the above Enforcement Rule of the Income Tax Act provides that an organization, other than an organization, which is deemed a corporation under Article 13 (1) and (2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, is not a "organization with no legal personality" and therefore, it is clear that "organization recognized as a corporation under Article 13 (1) and (2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes is excluded from its application, and therefore, it is clear that it constitutes a tax assessment by the defendant Association, not a general legal entity.

4. Claim against Defendant ○○○ City

A. Relevant provisions

(1) Article 172 (Definitions) of the Local Tax Act: The definitions of terms used in resident tax shall be as follows:

3. The term “pro rata income tax” means the resident tax, whose tax base is the income tax amount payable under the Income Tax Act (excluding the additional tax for unfaithful return for failure to pay the relevant returned tax amount, from among those who make a final return of tax base of the income tax);

(2) Article 177-4(1) of the Act on National Taxes or the Income Tax Act shall be reported to the head of the competent tax office in the form as determined by the Ordinance of the Ministry of Finance and Economy when a person liable to pay income tax returns his income tax. A preliminary return or a revised return is filed, and it shall be paid to the head of the competent Si/Gun (the head of the competent Si/Gun in the case of the Special Metropolitan City

(3) Paragraph (4) of the same Article: In case where the chief of a tax office refunds the income tax that is the tax base for which income tax is to be imposed and collected pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2), he shall notify the head of Si/Gun having jurisdiction over the place for payment of income tax in the form as prescribed by the Ordinance of the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs by the end of the following day.

B. Determination

Since the instant global income tax assessment imposed on the Plaintiffs is identical as recognized earlier, due to its significant and apparent defect, the said assessment by Defendant 00 ○○○○, which was made by setting the said tax base, is also null and void as a matter of course.

5. Amount of unjust gains;

Furthermore, as recognized earlier, the plaintiffs paid global income tax and additional tax as shown in the separate sheet No. 1 to the defendants as well as resident tax, but all of the Defendants' taxation dispositions are null and void. Thus, the defendants are obligated to refund the amount already paid to the plaintiffs and its delay damages. In the case of national tax refund, Article 52 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, Article 30(2) of the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on National Taxes, Article 13-2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Framework Act on National Taxes, Article 46 of the Local Tax Act, Article 39 of the Enforcement Decree of the Local Tax Act, Article 46 of the Local Tax Act, and Article 39 of the Enforcement Decree of the Local Tax Act, the amount of 10,000 per day from the date of each payment until March 31, 201, and 16/1000 per day from the following day to April 5, 2002, and each of the defendants' respective interest rate from 10,000 to 20.1.

6. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff (Appointed party)'s claim against the defendants is justified and it is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all.
