Title

Summary

An act leased to a corporation with a special relationship at a price lower than that of other tenants of the same building constitutes a wrongful calculation and constitutes a case of lease by a taxpayer, which cannot be the standard for market assessment as the case of lease by a taxpayer is one-time.

(c) Fact of recognition;

Facts without dispute over the basis of recognition, Gap's 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 18, Eul's 3-1 through 4, Eul's 4, 5-1, 2, Eul's 6-1 through 6, 8, 9, and the purport of the whole pleadings.

(1) The Plaintiff is a company engaged in mechanical manufacturing and parts sales business of industrial saws, real estate leasing business, etc., and owns a factory of 3,438.01 square meters of total floor area consisting of 00-0 ○○○○○-dong 00-0, and 2,987.82 square meters of building area (hereinafter referred to as “factory of this case”) (hereinafter referred to as “factory of this case”) 1,418.46 square meters of building area of 1,331.3 square meters, etc.

(2) On April 200, 00, ○○○, a person living together with the representative director of the Plaintiff, held office as the representative director. ○○ was holding 16.67% of the Plaintiff’s shares, and ○○ was holding 60% of the Plaintiff’s shares.

D. Determination

(1) Determination as to the assertion that the act does not constitute wrongful calculation

(A) "Calculation of wrongful acts" refers to the calculation of an act of reducing or excluding the burden of taxes when a taxpayer takes the ordinary rational transaction form by taking the bypassing act, the multi-stage act and other abnormal transaction form instead of a normal economic person. The purpose of the provision of the provision of the denial of wrongful calculation in the Corporate Tax Act and the Income Tax Act is to ensure fairness in taxation and prevent tax avoidance by imposing taxes on the taxpayer by deeming the income objectively reasonable in terms of tax law deemed unfair in terms of tax law, when considering that the transaction with a taxpayer and a person with a special relationship was deemed to have neglected the economic rationality. The existence of economic rationality should be determined based on whether the transaction is abnormal in light of sound social norms or commercial practices, taking into account the overall circumstances of the transaction (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2001Nu7268, Sept. 4, 2002).

(B) In light of the fact that the rent of KRW 160,00,00 for each of the instant factories leased part of the rent of KRW 160,00 for each of the instant factories to ○○○, other than a person with a special relationship, during the taxable period of the instant disposition, the Plaintiff’s lease deposit amount of KRW 16,00 for each of the instant factories is about 11.6% for the above ○○, etc., and the rent of KRW 20,000 for each of the above ○○, a person with a special relationship ( KRW 18,518 for each year) is about KRW 11.6% for the lease deposit for the above ○○, etc., and KRW 740,00 for each of the monthly rent for the above ○○, etc. ( KRW 740 for each of the above ○○, etc.) is about 4.6% for each of the above ○,000 for each of the above 16,00 for each month.

(C) Therefore, the Plaintiff’s act constitutes a case where it is deemed that the tax burden on the corporation’s income has been unjustly reduced due to transaction with a person with a special relationship under Article 52 of the Corporate Tax Act. Therefore, this part of the Plaintiff’

(2) Determination as to the lease agreement of the Plaintiff’s assertion

(A) From April 1, 200 to July 1, 200, subparagraph 4-1 to 16 (detailed statement on the lease and supply price of real estate for each business year), subparagraph 7-1 to 16 (detailed lease certificate), and subparagraph 7-1 through 16 (detailed statement on the lease and supply price of real estate), and partial testimony of ○○○○○○○’s witness at the first instance trial is difficult in view of the following facts: (a) Party 4-1 to 16 (detailed on the lease and supply price of real estate for each business year); (b) Party 7-1 to 16 (detailed on the lease and supply price of real estate); and (c) Party 1’s testimony of Party ○○○’s witness at the first instance trial is based on the Plaintiff’s assertion.

(B) Rather, the statement Nos. 5 (E. 5-1; hereinafter the same shall apply), Eul evidence Nos. 4-2, Eul evidence Nos. 5-2, Eul evidence Nos. 6-3 and 6-2 are indicated in the real estate lease contract concluded between the plaintiff and ○○ on Apr. 1, 200 with approximately 270 square meters. The Plaintiff’s representative director, the Plaintiff’s representative director, leased ○○○ to ○○○ KRW 5 million, monthly rent of KRW 2.5 million, and monthly rent of KRW 2.5 million, but did not prepare a separate contract, and the Plaintiff’s lease of KRW 1,418-46 square meters to 00,000,000,000 for KRW 70,000,000,000 for KRW 1,50,000,000,000 for KRW 1,418.46,000.

(C) Therefore, the Plaintiff’s assertion on this part is without merit.

(3) Judgment on the assertion on the market price

(A) Where an act with a person with a special relationship becomes subject to the avoidance of wrongful calculation, the amount of income arising from the transaction shall be calculated based on the price continuously traded with many and unspecified persons other than the person with a special relationship or the price generally traded between third parties who are not the person with a special relationship (see Article 52(2) of the Corporate Tax Act and Article 89(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act).

(B) Since the lease deposit and monthly rent are equal to KRW 160,000 and KRW 16,000 which are applied between the Plaintiff and ○○ Steel (representative ○○○○○), ○○○ Steel (representative ○○○○○○), ○○○ NG (representative ○○○), ○○○○ (representative ○○○), ○○ mechanical board (representative ○○○○), ○○○○○○○ (representative ○○), which are not specially related persons, all of the monthly lease deposit and monthly rent are equal to KRW 160,00 and KRW 16,000, it is reasonable to view them as being generally traded at a third party. The lease deposit (representative ○○○○) applied to ○○ Government (representative ○○○) and rent (representative 142,875 won at the time of the ordinary conversion), and it is difficult to view them as the price traded on a daily basis.

(C) Therefore, it is legitimate that the Defendant calculated the reasonable rent by deeming the amount of KRW 160,00 as the market price and the monthly rent of KRW 16,00 per square year as the market price. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s assertion on this part is without merit.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and the judgment of the court of first instance is just, and the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
