Judgment of the lower court

Gwangju High Court Decision 2007Nu664 decided Nov. 15, 2007

Text

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

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

In tax administration, two or more administrative dispositions for the same purpose were taken in the process of step-by-step and development, and are related to each other, and the tax authority has changed the taxation disposition subject to such disposition while in the course of a tax litigation and the reason for illegality is common, or where several persons are jointly liable for the same administrative disposition due to the same administrative disposition, one of the persons liable for tax payment and the National Tax Tribunal has granted the opportunity to re-determine the basic facts and legal issues as before the preceding disposition or when the same administrative disposition has gone through legitimate step-by-case procedure, and where there is a justifiable reason, the taxpayer may file an administrative lawsuit claiming the revocation of the taxation disposition even without going through the procedure of the preceding trial (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 9Du157, May 24, 191; 9Du157, Sept. 26, 200; 105Du170, Apr. 14, 2006).

The court below determined that the plaintiff's lawsuit in this case was unlawful on the ground that it cannot be deemed that the National Tax Tribunal provided an opportunity to re-determine the basic facts and legal issues, and that there is no justifiable reason to see that it would be harsh for the plaintiff to go through the pre-trial procedure. In light of the above legal principles and records, the judgment of the court below is just, and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the pre-trial procedure, as otherwise alleged in the ground for appeal. The court below did not err in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the pre-trial procedure.

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 on the bench.
