A. The Plaintiff is a public official in technical service who has worked in △△△ school under the △△ Office of Education.

B. During the year 2012, the Plaintiff received facility security management allowances of KRW 7,280,000 (hereinafter “instant allowances”) after performing relevant duties as a person in charge of facility security management at the △△△ school.

D. On October 10, 2013, the Plaintiff dissatisfied with the instant disposition, filed a request for adjudication with the Director of the Tax Tribunal, but the Director of the Tax Tribunal dismissed the said request on December 31, 2013.

2. Whether the dispositions of the instant case are legal.

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The facility security management allowance is an allowance prepared for the workers who actually perform the existing duty instead of closing the system of duty at a small-scale school below the face level. Although the facility security management officer does not stay in the school, the facility inspection, maintenance of an emergency liaison system, telephone civil petition response unit, and other emergency situations, performing almost the same duty as the workers on duty performed in the form of night duty or day duty by performing the duties, etc., the plaintiff goes late before and late than other teachers, and the modified form of duty such as maintaining the emergency liaison system. The payment of the cost of transportation and communication expenses in the process can not be deemed to exceed the limit of the scope recognized by social norms as the amount of compensation for actual expenses. Although the facility security management allowance implemented from March 1, 2010 by the Chungcheongbuk Provincial Office of Education does not fall under the provision of the Income Tax Act for the improvement plan for the facility security management allowance which was conducted from March 1, 2010, it is illegal for the defendant's payment of the income tax to 20 years after the establishment of the facility security allowance.

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1-1, 2, Gap evidence 2-2, Gap evidence 3-5, Gap evidence 6-1 through 11, Eul evidence 2-1, and the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

1) Article 12 subparagraph 3 of the Income Tax Act provides that "income falling under any of the following items among the earned income and retirement income is exempt from income tax," and Article 12 subparagraph 3 (i) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act provides that "the salary in the nature of reimbursement for actual expenses prescribed by Presidential Decree" refers to the wage in the following subparagraphs, and Article 12 (i) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act provides that "the salary in the nature of reimbursement for actual expenses prescribed by Presidential Decree in the item of subparagraph 3 (i) of Article 12 of the Act refers to the wage in the following subparagraphs", and subparagraph 3 of the same Article provides that "the amount of compensation for actual expenses (including the amount not exceeding 200,000 won per month out of the amount received by an employee pursuant to the payment criteria prescribed by the regulations, etc. of the relevant company, in lieu of the amount actually

In addition, the term "day duty" generally means waiting in a facility in preparation for regular patrols, acceptance of telephone and documents, and other emergencies, and the density of his labor is low, surveillance and enforcement work is most difficult, so it does not require a separate labor contract and must be performed as an obligation incidental to the original contract because it does not need to pay wages equivalent to the normal work, and it does not need to be paid for night, night, overtime, holiday work, and allowance for compensation of actual expenses, and it is customarily being paid. However, it is not a day duty. It is not a day duty but a day duty. If the contents of the work are assessed as well as regular work, if the contents and quality of the work are assessed as above, it shall be paid for such excess work at night, night, holiday work allowance, etc. (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 93Da46254, Jan. 20, 195).

Meanwhile, the principle of strict interpretation derived from the principle of no taxation without law is applicable not only to the cases meeting the taxation requirements, but also to the cases meeting the requirements for non-taxation and tax reduction and exemption. As such, extensively interpreting or analogical interpretation of the requirements for non-taxation or tax exemption and exemption as favorable to taxpayers without any justifiable reason leads to a result contrary to the principle of fair taxation, which is the basic ideology of the tax law, and thus, it shall not be allowed (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2005Da191

2) In light of the contents, form, and relevant legal principles of the above-mentioned statutes, it is difficult to recognize the overall purport of oral argument as follows; ① The night duty is a holiday; ② the worker on duty has a duty not to leave the area of his or her work for regular time in preparation for regular patrols, telephone and delivery of documents, or other emergencies; whereas the Plaintiff’s performance of facility security services overlap with those of the worker on duty, such as facility inspection, and the maintenance of an emergency liaison system, and thus, it is difficult to see that the pertinent facility security services do not fall under the category of the worker on duty or under the category of the worker on duty under the condition that the worker on duty is not subject to the duty of care for the reason that the worker on duty cannot be seen as having been subject to the duty of care for the worker on duty, or that there is no need to provide the worker on duty under the condition that the worker on duty is not subject to the duty of care for the worker on duty under the condition that the worker on duty is not subject to the duty of care for the worker on duty.

3) Therefore, the instant disposition made by the Defendant against the Plaintiff on the ground that the instant allowances do not constitute benefits of the nature of reimbursement for actual expenses.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
