Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

A person who supplies goods or services independently for business (hereinafter referred to as a "business operator") is liable to pay value-added tax (Article 2(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act), and the tax base of value-added tax to be borne by a business operator is calculated based on the supply price of goods or services (Article 13 of the same Act). Thus, if it is deemed that a foreign business operator is a business operator who is supplied cosmetics from a cosmetics dealer and independently supplies cosmetics to consumers, he/she should be liable to pay value-added tax on the basis of the sale price of cosmetics supplied to the foreign business operator.

In addition, Article 20 (1) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 4803 of Dec. 22, 1994; hereinafter the same) provides business income and provides "income from free occupation" in Article 10 of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 14467 of Dec. 31, 1994; hereinafter the same). Article 38 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 14467 of Dec. 31, 1994; hereinafter the same) provides that free occupation income under Article 20 (1) 10 of the same Act provides various kinds of business income under subparagraphs 1 through 11, and subparagraph 13 provides "income from employment income and other income of a similar nature, which is paid according to the results of the provision of services to a seller of cosmetics, and where it is recognized that a seller of cosmetics is liable to pay income tax from free occupation under Article 38 subparagraph 13 of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act."
