Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below acknowledged that the plaintiff newly constructed one unit of apartment and store building for the purpose of sale in lots on February 1976, after completing business registration as a construction business and real estate rental business, all the apartment and store except five stores among the above buildings from around 1980 to around 1980 have sold them in lots and cancelled the business registration of the construction business, and thereafter, on July 13, 1987, two stores have been leased to others, and the plaintiff has not been engaged in real estate sales business by constructing and selling other buildings than the above building to the non-party 2 Dongsan-dong community credit cooperative, a lessee, and the plaintiff has not been engaged in real estate sales business. The judgment of the court below is justified in finding that the sale and purchase of real estate as stipulated in Article 1 (1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act has not been made for the purpose of sale in real estate with the purpose of business, and the sale and sale of real estate has not been made more than once during the above taxable period, and thus it cannot be viewed as illegal.

In addition, according to the records, the plaintiff is in the position of the business operator who continues to operate the real estate rental business with the remaining unsold stores after the transfer of the store in this case, and since the plaintiff is not in the position of the final consumer, the above transfer of the store in this case cannot be deemed to be a self-supply of the remaining goods at the time of discontinuance of business.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and all 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.
