Seoul High Court Decision 2009Nu40416 Decided July 23, 2010
July 14, 2011
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
We examine the grounds of appeal.
1. Regarding ground of appeal No. 1
According to the reasoning of the lower judgment, the lower court determined that it is difficult to recognize the instant purchase transaction as a nominal transaction that disguiseds the actual transaction, solely on the following grounds: (a) gold bullion transaction was conducted in a short period of time and without receiving purchase tax invoices; (b) gold bullion transaction was conducted in a series of transactions in which malicious business operators who do not pay the amount equivalent to the value-added tax exist; and (c) the instant purchase transaction was conducted in the course of a series of transactions in which gold bullion transaction was

However, the court below did not recognize input tax deduction related to calculating the tax base under the Value-Added Tax Act, on the ground that a representative recognition disposition based on the non-Inclusion of purchase amount as a representative under the Corporate Tax Act is unlawful. However, the court below merely revoked the disposition imposing global income tax on the plaintiff, who is the representative of LD metal company, and did not recognize the
3. Conclusion
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.
