Seoul High Court Decision 2001Nu2357 delivered on December 20, 2001

Text

The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.

Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

Administrative litigation has no benefit to bring an administrative litigation against a person who has a legal, direct and indirect interest (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 89Nu4277, Apr. 24, 1990; 96Nu1405, Aug. 20, 1996).

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below determined that the plaintiff's claim for correction of the amount of tax already paid (hereinafter referred to as "request for correction") was unlawful since the management office was a representative of the Hyundai Apartment Management Office ( Address omitted) managing the Hyundai Apartment Complex of Gangnam-gu, Seoul (hereinafter referred to as the "Management Office") between May 1, 1997 and July 31, 200, and the management office filed a final return on the tax base and tax amount of global income tax on interest income belonging to 196 and 197, on July 20, 198, on the ground that the management office against the defendant constitutes an organization deemed as a corporation under Article 13 (1) 1 of the Framework Act on National Taxes and cannot be subject to global income tax, but it did not recognize that the defendant refused to pay the amount of tax, but the management office was the subject of the tax liability, and the plaintiff filed a claim for correction for the revocation of the tax return and payment of this case as the principal of the tax liability, and the plaintiff filed the claim for correction.

In light of the above legal principles and the records, the above recognition and judgment of the court below is just, and there is no error of law by misunderstanding legal principles as to the subject of tax liability or misunderstanding of facts as otherwise alleged in the ground of appeal

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.
