Title

The amended retirement allowance payment provision for the officers of a controlling shareholder does not fall under the retirement allowance payment provision delegated by the articles of incorporation.

Summary

The retirement allowance paid as the ground for converting the annual salary system to the representative director is realistic retirement, but the revised retirement allowance payment provision only for the controlling shareholder officer is merely a temporary measure to distribute the corporation's funds to a specific officer by lending the form of retirement benefits, and does not fall under the retirement pay provision delegated by the articles of incorporation.

B. On December 28, 2015, the Plaintiff amended the articles of incorporation and the regulations on the payment of retirement allowances for executives in accordance with the resolution of a special general meeting of shareholders, and subsequently paid KRW 2.5 billion in total to ParkCC, a representative director, an interim settlement of retirement allowances following the conversion of annual salary system (hereinafter “Dispute retirement allowances”).

In accordance with the articles of incorporation and the rules on the payment of retirement allowances for executive officers, the Plaintiff paid retirement allowances to ParkCC, which did not receive retirement allowances in the future, and completed the interim settlement of the retirement allowances at issue.

D. Determination

1) Whether it constitutes a realistic retirement

A) Article 44(1) and (2) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 26068, Feb. 3, 2015; hereinafter the same) provides that “The retirement benefits that a corporation pays to an executive officer shall be included in the calculation of deductible expenses only when the executive officer actually retires. The actual retirement benefits include any of the following cases where the corporation actually paid the retirement benefits.” Article 44(1) and (2) provides that “When the corporation pays the retirement benefits to an executive officer under the condition that the retirement benefits will not be paid in the future by converting the corporate’s benefits to the annual salary system, the retirement benefits shall

B) First of all, we examine whether the annual salary system has been converted between the Plaintiff and ParkCC. It is reasonable to view that the above remuneration contract constitutes an annual salary contract concluded with the Plaintiff as an intention to convert the annual salary system. On the other hand, as seen earlier, it is reasonable to deem that the above remuneration contract constituted an annual salary contract concluded with the Plaintiff on December 28, 2015, based on which the annual salary is KRW 396 million (monthly 330 million) and the annual salary is paid within the limit of KRW 18,800,000,000,000, which is 30% of the annual salary, and the bonus was paid and the bonus was paid at the time of achievement of a certain performance standard. However, in light of the fact that there was no evidence to acknowledge that the above remuneration contract had been concluded with the Plaintiff on the ground that the above basic salary was paid each month by the Plaintiff prior to the conclusion of the executive remuneration contract, there was no other evidence to acknowledge that there was a lack of basic salary payment as well as the annual salary.

(The interim settlement of retirement pay in 2001, 2003, 2006 shall not be considered as the actual settlement of retirement pay in light of the period of the settlement of accounts and the scale of the retirement pay).

C) Next, we examine whether the Plaintiff and ParkCC agreed to settle the retirement benefits up to the date on which the retirement benefits will not be paid in the future under the condition that the retirement benefits will not be paid in the future. The fact that ParkCC applied for interim settlement of the retirement benefits on December 28, 2015 under the condition that the Plaintiff would not pay the retirement benefits in the future, and that the Plaintiff resolved to make interim settlement of the retirement benefits on the condition that ParkCC would not pay the retirement benefits in the temporary shareholders’ meeting on the same day, it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiff calculated the retirement benefits under the condition that the retirement benefits will not be paid in the future between the Plaintiff and ParkCC (see Articles 6 and 28 of the instant provision, the compensation amount would be paid to the bereaved family, but this cannot be viewed as the payment of the retirement benefits as the benefits that the bereaved family members would be entitled to receive in the inherent beneficiaries).

(D) Lastly, examining whether the Plaintiff actually paid retirement allowances to ParkCC. Article 44(2) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act appears to the purport that the corporation would not allow the inclusion of retirement allowances in deductible expenses only with an agreement for the payment of retirement allowances not actually paid. Article 43(1) of the Labor Standards Act, which provides that the payment of wages directly in currency, applies to executives who are not workers. Article 388 of the Commercial Act provides that "the remuneration of directors shall be determined by the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders." It is reasonable to view that the amount of retirement allowances of directors may be determined by the articles of incorporation or by the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders in accordance with delegation, or by the regulations for the payment of retirement allowances to executives adopted at the general meeting of shareholders (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Da98720, May 29, 2014). However, it is reasonable to view that the Plaintiff's 200,000 won, other than the Plaintiff's retirement allowances paid in cash or in accordance with its articles.

E) Therefore, it is determined that ParkCC received retirement benefits under the condition that subsequent retirement benefits will not be paid as a result of converting it into an annual salary system on December 28, 2015, and that it actually retired under Article 44(1) and (2) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act.

2) Whether the articles of incorporation constitutes a retirement allowance payment provision for executives

A) Article 26 subparag. 1 of the Corporate Tax Act provides that the amount deemed excessive or unreasonable, as prescribed by Presidential Decree, shall not be included in deductible expenses when calculating the amount of income of a domestic corporation for each business year, and Article 44(4) of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act provides that "the amount in excess of any of the following amounts shall not be included in deductible expenses shall be included in the amount of retirement benefits paid by the corporation to its executive officers" under subparagraph 1 of the same Article provides that "where the amount to be paid as retirement benefits (including retirement benefits, etc.) is determined by the articles of incorporation," "the amount determined by the articles of incorporation," and "the amount calculated by multiplying the amount equivalent to 1/10 of the amount of gross income paid to the relevant executive officer for one year retroactively from the date of his/her retirement by the number of years retroactively calculated by the method prescribed by Ordinance of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance" under paragraph (5) of the same Article.

In light of the language and structure of such provisions and the legislative intent of preventing an unfair reduction of corporate income, retirement benefits paid to executives pursuant to the articles of incorporation or the rules on payment of retirement benefits delegated by the articles of incorporation (hereinafter referred to as “Rules on Retirement Benefits”) that provide for the amount of retirement benefits to be paid to executives or employees, or the rules on payment of retirement benefits delegated by the articles of incorporation (hereinafter referred to as “the rules on executives’ payment of retirement benefits”) were enacted or amended to include the total amount in deductible expenses; however, a person who is in a position likely to affect the enactment or amendment or a person who is in a family relationship with such person as a retired officer was paid retirement benefits rapidly increased as such; and accordingly, the amount of retirement benefits actually paid is extremely difficult to be considered as remuneration for labor or contribution during the period of service of the relevant retired officer or a corporation whose amount of retirement benefits actually paid is similar to that of a corporation, and the amount of retirement benefits paid to an officer cannot be deemed as falling under Article 25(1)5 of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2014Da56148.

B) In light of the aforementioned legal principles, the following circumstances revealed through the facts acknowledged earlier and the purport of the entire pleadings are comprehensively taken into account. The instant provision does not practically aim at allocating the corporation’s assets to ParkCC in the form of retirement benefits, but does not constitute a retirement allowance payment provision for the payment of compensation for labor, etc.

(1) ParkCC was the only registered director as a shareholder and representative director who established the Plaintiff, and all other shareholders of the Plaintiff were children of ParkCC or the Plaintiff’s employee. As such, ParkCC actually controlled the Plaintiff and was in a position to amend its articles of incorporation and the regulations on payment of retirement allowances for officers as desired by the Plaintiff.

(2) On July 25, 2011, the Plaintiff first enacted a retirement allowance regulation for officers, and the monthly salary of ParkCC was increased from 5 million to 12 million won since March 2011, the immediately preceding year. From 2014, the monthly salary was increased by 25 million won again. On February 3, 2015, the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act was promulgated by Presidential Decree No. 26068, Jan. 1, 2016, and it was impossible to make interim settlement of retirement allowances based on the conversion of the annual salary system for officers from January 1, 2016. As such, ParkCC and the Plaintiff held a temporary general meeting of shareholders on December 28, 2015, the three days immediately preceding and the three days prior to the amendment of both the articles of incorporation and the retirement allowance payment regulations for officers, and made an explicit basis provision that retirement allowances may be paid as assets other than cash.

(3) Even when considering the long term of office as an executive officer of ParkCC, the amount of KRW 2,05,000,000,000 as at the time of payment, to the extent that it considerably exceeds the Plaintiff’s seven-year operating profit (from 2009 to 2015), the net income for five-year (from 2011 to 2015), and the amount of KRW 1,00,000,000,000 out of the key retirement pay to the Plaintiff as real estate as the key issue.

(4) The Plaintiff may not be deemed to have paid or be able to pay retirement allowances to other executives and employees who are not ParkCC at issue in the interim settlement of the retirement allowances in question.

(5) Ultimately, the instant provision is intended to justify the payment of retirement allowances according to the ParkCC’s wage rapidly increased before and after the enactment of the rules on the payment of retirement allowances for officers, and it seems that it is merely an intermediate method of transferring the Plaintiff’s real estate without compensation and allocating the Plaintiff’s profits.

3) Limit of inclusion of key retirement pay in deductible expenses

As seen earlier, the amount of retirement benefits calculated pursuant to the provisions of this case shall be the total amount of benefits paid to the relevant executive for one year retroactively from the date of retirement (excluding non-taxable income under Article 12 of the Income Tax Act) where the amount to be paid as retirement benefits is not determined by the articles of incorporation of the former Enforcement Decree [in cases where the amount to be paid as retirement benefits to the executive is not determined, it shall be the amount under Article 20 (1) 1 and 2 of the Income Tax Act (excluding non-taxable income under Article 12 of the same Act). The amount not included in deductible expenses pursuant to Article 43 shall be included in deductible expenses only the amount calculated by multiplying the amount equivalent to 1/10 of the exclusion by the number of years of service as determined by Ordinance of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance; the excess amount shall not be included in deductible expenses]; Article 22 (5) of the Enforcement Rule of the Corporate Tax Act [the period of less than one year shall be calculated as the number of months when calculating the number of years of service; the period of less than one month shall not be included in deductible expenses; 1000 million won x 16 months 1.2 months from the total period of less than 16 months.2 months.

4) Whether the disposition of the instant corporate tax was lawful and the scope of revocation

As seen earlier, the reasonable tax amount of KRW 602,50,000 among the retirement allowances at issue shall be KRW 142,325,669, and the basis for the calculation shall be as shown in attached Form 2. [Attachment 2] The "political tax amount" in attached Form 2 is as shown in attached Form 3 [Attachment 3], and the basis for calculation of the amount of KRW 2,846,923,742 is as stated in the "amount of inclusion in gross income and non-Inclusion in deductible expenses", and the basis for calculation of the amount of KRW 2,059,431,779 (attached Form 4] is as shown in attached Form 4.

Therefore, among the disposition imposing corporate tax of this case, the part exceeding the above KRW 142,325,669 should be revoked.

5) Whether notice of change in the income amount of this case is lawful

According to Article 67 of the Corporate Tax Act and Article 106 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act, where it is clear that the amount included in the calculation of earnings has been leaked out of the company, it shall be disposed of as a bonus for the person to whom the income accrued if it is an executive, and if the amount included in the calculation of earnings has not been leaked out of the company, it shall be treated as a retained earnings. Furthermore, the amount exceeding the limit prescribed in Article 44(4) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act out of the retirement allowances paid to the executive, and the amount exceeding the limit prescribed in Article 67-1064 of the Corporate Tax Act as a bonus for the executive.

In light of the contents and purport of the aforementioned relevant laws and regulations, since the issue of real estate worth KRW 1.04,1,000,000 has been over the ownership transfer registration in the future of ParkCC due to payment in kind, it is clear that the issue belongs to ParkCC as a result of outflow out of company and ownership transfer registration. This belongs to the portion exceeding KRW 602,50,000,000,000, which is the retirement pay limit for inclusion in deductible expenses, out of the issues equivalent to KRW 2.05,000,000, it is justifiable to dispose of it as a bonus of ParkCC. However, as seen earlier, insofar as only KRW 602,50,000,00 is recognized as a legitimate retirement allowance, the remainder after deducting the above amount from KRW 784,846,360,00,00 should be disposed of as a bonus (see attached Form 3), the recognized amount of KRW 444,537,000,000.
