2. Whether the disposition is lawful;

A. The plaintiff's assertion

1) The Plaintiff purchased the instant housing site on its own, and completed the registration of ownership transfer in the name of the housing consumer, and the construction permit was also changed in the name of the housing consumer after obtaining it under the name of the original owner of the instant housing site. After the completion of the construction, the registration of ownership transfer was made in the name of the housing consumer, and the registration of ownership preservation was made in the name of the housing consumer and the civil and criminal liability was borne by the housing consumer. However, the Plaintiff was entrusted with the construction of the instant housing from the housing consumer under the delegation contract and provided housing construction services to them, and received the fees therefor. Thus, the instant disposition based on the premise that the Plaintiff newly built and sold the instant housing was in violation of the principle of no taxation without the law because it was

2) Before the instant disposition, tax authorities conducted two tax investigations on the Plaintiff around 1999 and around 2003 on two occasions, etc. on the same type of transaction as the instant transaction, and recognized the Plaintiff’s tax treatment by deeming it as the provision of housing construction services, thereby violating the principle of trust and good faith.

B. Relevant statutes

The entry in the attached Form shall be as follows.

(c) Fact of recognition;

1) On July 23, 2001, the Plaintiff: (a) purchased one’s own ○○○○○○○○○○○○ and a building on the ground owned by ○○○○○○○○○○○○, 553.5 square meters, from the purchase price of KRW 1,758,00,000; and (b) purchased each of the sites and above-ground buildings owned by ○○○○○ from each of ○○○; (b) purchased each of the same sites and above-ground buildings owned by ○○○○, ○○○, and ○○○○ from each of 1,634,00,000 won; and (c) received a building permit under the name of ○○ and Yang○○, a seller, at the same time as the remainder payment on November 30, 201, concluded that the Plaintiff completed the registration

2) Then, on each of the above lands, the Plaintiff made an advertisement for the sale of lots against many unspecified persons by creating data on the sales promotion of ten households (Nos. 101, 102, 201, 202, 202, 301, 302, 401, 402, 402, 501, 502, and 502) of the instant housing in the same manner. The advertising data contains the usual sales price, the payment method, the construction period, the scheduled date, the floor plan, the level of internal and external paralysis, the location of the sales office and the telephone number, etc.

3) Subsequent to that, on November 5, 2001, the Plaintiff: on 100 and 101 of the instant housing, including the fact that it entered into a contract with Kim ○○ and 101 by drawing up an agreement for the same subparagraph: From September 3, 2001 to November 16, 2001, each of the instant housing is recruited through the above parcelling-out advertisement [Ma○○ (101), Yellow ○ (102), ○○○ (201), ○○○○○ (202), ○○○○○ and ○○○○ (301), 300, 300, 400, 50, 500, 60, 70, 50, 50, 60, 60, 80, 60, 500, 501, 400, 502, 501, 502, 502, 500, etc.

4) Meanwhile, the Plaintiff filed a building permit for the construction of the instant house with the head of ○○○○ and one other, prior to concluding the agreement individually with the instant club after the advertisement for sale in lots, and completed the registration of ownership transfer on September 4, 2001 with respect to the new site on December 6, 2001, the Plaintiff completed the registration of ownership transfer on March 11, 2003, when the construction was commenced on January 25, 2002 and the construction was completed almost after changing the name of the owner to the title of the instant club (in the case of subparagraph 101, the title was changed to ○○○ and 502, respectively) and completed the registration of ownership transfer on April 30, 203 with the approval of use from the head of ○○○ on April 7, 2003. < Amended by Act No. 6813, Apr. 30, 2003>

5) The instant club merely paid each fixed amount to the bank account under the name of the Plaintiff’s representative director, as down payment, intermediate payment, and remainder, and did not separately organize the club or prepare a construction contract contract between the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff. The instant club was not entirely involved in the purchase of land, design, construction, etc. relating to the construction of the instant house, and did not settle the agreed price, construction cost, etc. with the Plaintiff before and after the completion of the construction.

6) Meanwhile, with respect to the instant disposition, except for the new construction of the instant housing, the new construction of the housing in the remaining ten sites newly built by the Plaintiff from 2000 to 2004 was conducted in such a way as to purchase the first site and sell the housing after purchasing the housing site as in the new construction of the instant housing, and to individually enter into a mutual agreement with the persons recruited thereby, and completed the construction by receiving a fixed amount of agreement and completing the registration of ownership preservation in the future.

[Ground for Recognition: Facts without dispute, Gap 7 evidence, Gap 8-1 through 10, Gap 9-1, 2, Gap 10, 11, Gap 12-1 through 10, Gap 13, Gap 14-2, Gap 31-2, Eul 4-1, Eul 4-2, Eul 5, and the purport of the whole pleadings]

D. Determination

1) Determination as to the assertion of the above A.1

A) Article 14(1) of the Framework Act on National Taxes provides that if a taxable object is merely nominal, and there is another person to whom it actually belongs, the person to whom it actually belongs shall be liable to pay taxes. Article 14(2) provides that the provisions on the calculation of tax base in the tax-related Acts provides that the person to whom it actually belongs shall be liable to pay taxes, regardless of the name or form of income, profit, property, act or transaction. On the other hand, in interpreting the contents of the contract, the objective meaning given by the parties to the act of indicating is clearly established, first of all, the objective meaning given by the parties to the act of indicating is reasonably interpreted in writing, but the objective and objective meaning are not clearly expressed in the terms indicated by the parties’ language and text, the motive and circumstance leading up to the conclusion of the contract, the purpose of the contract to be achieved by the parties to the contract, the genuine intent of the parties to the contract, and the transaction customs of the building site shall be reasonably interpreted in accordance with the principles of logic and experience, and the purpose and method of the construction contract of the Plaintiff and the building owner.

B) The above facts and the evidence revealed as follows: ① the Plaintiff secured the land for the instant house in advance and recruited club members by advertising for sale to many unspecified persons; ④ all matters concerning the new construction and sale of the instant house were received by the Plaintiff through the sale advertisement; ② The club members of the instant case did not have any common or human relationship with the Plaintiff except for the Plaintiff’s demand for similar housing with those recruited through the sale advertisement; ③ the club members of the instant case did not constitute a meeting, or concluded a construction contract, and paid a fixed amount of the contract under the agreement with the Plaintiff in installments in a way similar to the general housing contract without any participation in the construction of the instant house; ④ The Plaintiff did not specifically disclose the details of the use of the construction cost to the club members of the instant case, or through settlement procedures for profits and losses by completing the construction of the instant house before and after the completion of the construction of the instant house; and the Plaintiff’s assertion that the Plaintiff was delegated the new construction of the instant house from the Plaintiff as part of the new construction of the instant house is unreasonable.

2) Determination as to the assertion of the above A.2

In general, in order to apply the principle of trust and good faith to the tax authority's act in tax law relations, the tax authority must give the taxpayer a public opinion that is the subject of trust, and the taxpayer should not be responsible to the taxpayer when the taxpayer trusted that the expression of opinion is justifiable, third, the taxpayer must trust the expression of opinion and act in which the taxpayer is in trust, and fourth, the tax authority's disposition against the above expression of opinion should result in a violation of the taxpayer's interest (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2001Du403, Sept. 5, 2003). In this case, the defendant's second tax investigation against the plaintiff two times against the plaintiff, correction of the past's error of taxation and disposition of this case through a new tax investigation, and thus, the defendant cannot be viewed as having expressed the plaintiff's business behavior as a public housing construction service. Furthermore, this part of the plaintiff's business behavior cannot be viewed as having presented the plaintiff's opinion without any reason.

3) Sub-determination

Therefore, the instant disposition based on the premise that the new construction and sale of the instant housing, etc. was conducted as the Plaintiff’s housing construction and sales business is lawful.

3. Conclusion

Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit.
