Under the contract for the sale of 19,313,450 units in excess of the unpaid construction cost, the trustee company entered into a sales contract for the total of 7,023,013,450 units of the building of this case. Under the contract for the sale of 73 units of this case, the truster company entered into a sales contract for the total of 7,003 units of the building of this case. Under the contract for the sale of 73 units of this case, the truster company entered into a sales contract for the total of 7,003,700,000 units of the building of this case, and the truster company entered into a sales contract for the sale of the goods of this case, and the truster company entered into a sales contract for the sale of this case.
She also concluded the sales contract with the construction company on September 30, 200 with regard to 102 and 103, and concluded the sales contract with regard to 260,000,000 won as the sales price, and 240,000,000 won as well as 28 units unsold in lots except for the payment in kind, and received the sales price. The plaintiff corporation prepared and issued at each time a tax invoice with the plaintiff corporation and the recipient company as the construction company.
(1) On August 7, 200, after the company pre-sale the unsold portion to the end user, the company entered into a contract for succession of rights and duties with the content that the company comprehensively transfers the rights and duties under each of the above parcelling-out contracts owned by the construction company to the end user with respect to the 33 units among the 73 units units of payment in kind and 2 units among the acquired units (hereinafter “instant units”) from August 7, 200, and with the consent of the trustee company, the company entered into a contract for succession of rights and duties (hereinafter “instant succession contract”). The Plaintiff Corporation entered into a new tax invoice with respect to the instant units from February 2, 200 to January 1, 200, with respect to the previous tax invoices prepared and issued by the Plaintiff Corporation and the supply user (hereinafter “instant tax invoice”).
E. Disposition of this case
On October 10, 2002, pursuant to Article 22(2)1 of the Value-Added Tax Act, the Defendant: (a) supplied the instant heading room to the end-user under the Value-Added Tax Act is not the Plaintiff but the construction company; and (b) the Plaintiff’s tax invoice prepared and issued by the Plaintiff as the supplier constitutes a tax invoice stating differently the supplier, which is a requisite entry of the tax invoice; and (c) accordingly, imposed penalty tax as stated in the purport of the claim against the Plaintiff.
2. Whether the disposition is lawful;
A. The plaintiff's assertion
(1) Of the acceptance agreement of this case, the agreement on the portion of payment in kind is not a legal payment agreement, but a general contract for sale in lots, which offsets the sale price and the amount of unpaid construction work. Furthermore, the acceptance agreement of this case on the portion of payment in kind and the portion of acceptance is merely a formal acceptance by the construction company to arrange the sale in lots on the premise that the unsold portion should be sold to the actual users. Accordingly, the agreement on the portion of payment in lots is merely a formal acceptance by the construction company to arrange the sale in lots on the premise that the sale in lots has been offered to the actual users. Accordingly, the registration of ownership transfer has not been made in the future of the construction company
Shebly, even if the trustee company deemed to have sold the instant heading to the construction company in accordance with the acceptance agreement of this case, the status of the sales contract for the instant heading prior to the execution of the supply pursuant to the sales contract was transferred to the end-user, so the construction company withdraws from the status of the buyer and the end-user succeeded to the status of the buyer, and thus, the Plaintiff Corporation directly supplied the instant heading to the end-user.
Article 22(1) of the Tax Invoice of this case cannot be seen as a false entry. Thus, the disposition of this case is unlawful.
(b) Related statutes;
Value-Added Tax Act
Article 6 (Supply of Goods) (1) The supply of goods shall be a delivery or transfer of goods pursuant to all contractual and legal grounds.
Article 9 (Transaction Time) (1) The time of supply of goods shall be as follows:
1. When the goods are delivered, in case where the moving of goods is required;
2. When the goods are made available, in case where the moving of goods is not required; and
3. When the supply of goods is decided, in case where the provisions of subparagraphs 1 and 2 are not applicable.
(3) Where an entrepreneur receives all or part of the price for goods or services before the time provided in paragraph (1) or (2) arrives, and at the same time issues a tax invoice provided in Article 16 or a receipt provided in Article 32 with respect to such price, the time of such issuance shall be deemed the time of supply for the goods or services, respectively.
(2) Where an entrepreneur falls under any of the following subparagraphs, an amount equivalent to 1/100 of the value of supply shall be added to the payable tax amount or deducted from the refundable tax amount:
1. If the tax invoice as provided in Article 16 (1) is not delivered, or the requisite entries of the tax invoice on the delivered portion are not wholly or partly entered, or are different from the fact;
Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act
Article 14 (Scope of Supply of Goods) (1) The supply of goods as provided in Article 6 (1) of the Act shall be those as provided in the following subparagraphs:
1. Delivery or transfer of goods by means of cash sale, outdoor sale, installment sale, long-term installment sale, conditional sale, fixed-term sale, consignment sale, or other sales contract;
3. The delivery or transfer of goods as the price for the delivery of goods, under an exchange contract under which other goods are delivered or services are provided;
C. Determination
(1) We first examine the allegation that there was a supply of goods between the Plaintiff and the end user. As long as the company entered into a sales contract with the contractor for each of the instant units and set-off of the claim for the sale price and the obligation for the unpaid construction cost to the contractor, or the remainder, other than the very small amount of the sale price, was settled in cash, even if the contractor did not pay the balance of the payment in kind, it would be possible for the company to dispose of the instant units under its own responsibility or use them by itself. Therefore, the supply of goods under Article 9 of the Value-Added Tax Act should be deemed to have already been made. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s assertion on the premise that there was no supply of goods between the Plaintiff and the end user from the beginning, and there was no supply of the goods between the Plaintiff and the end user and the construction company.
We examine the argument on succession contract with Luxembourg. If the sale contract for a building was rescinded prior to the imposition of value-added tax and the sale price already received was returned, the supply of goods can not be subject to value-added tax on such sale contract (see Supreme Court Decision 96Nu13941, Mar. 10, 198). However, the agreement that the sale price for the sale in lots can be sold to the end-user by the mediation of the construction company among the sale in lots is that the sale in lots should be directly concluded between the construction company and the end-user by the construction company's mediation before the expiration of the time of acquisition under the agreement on the sale in lots (see subparagraph 3 of the certificate, even if the construction company is liable for the payment of the sale in lots, it is cancelled between the construction company and the pre-sale trustee company and the end-user company, regardless of the fact that the sale in lots was newly purchased between the sale in lots and the end-user company and the end-user company, and thus, it seems that the sale in lots will not be new between the sale in lots and the seller company's.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as without merit, and the judgment of the court of first instance is just as it is with this conclusion, and the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed as without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
