The defendant's rejection of a claim for correction against the plaintiff on August 18, 2005 shall be revoked as to capital gains tax of 28,391,630 won belonging to the year 2004.

Reasons

1. Details of the disposition;

A. On March 28, 2001, the Plaintiff acquired and owned ○○○○○-dong, ○○○-1, ○○○○ apartment (hereinafter “instant apartment”) in ○○○-dong, ○○○-1, ○○○○ apartment, and upon the implementation of a reconstruction project on the instant reconstruction apartment, the Plaintiff invested the instant reconstruction apartment in the reconstruction association, and was selected as an occupant of ○○-dong, ○○○-dong, ○○○○○○○○ apartment (hereinafter “instant apartment”), which is scheduled to be constructed as a reconstruction, and obtained approval for the use of the instant apartment on April 29, 2004.

B. Meanwhile, the Plaintiff acquired and owned ○○○○○ apartment, ○○○○○○ apartment, ○○○○○, ○○○○ apartment, ○○○○○○, ○○○ apartment (hereinafter “former apartment”), and on June 4, 2004, which was within one year from April 29, 2004, the approval date for the use of the instant apartment, on the issue of the instant apartment, and transferred the previous apartment, and did not file a preliminary return on capital gains tax by regarding the transfer of one house for one household subject to non-taxation of capital gains tax.

C. After doing so, the Defendant filed a final return on capital gains tax for the transfer of the previous apartment of this case with the Plaintiff by May 31, 2005, or sent a notice prior to the notice that he would request the notification by May 18, 2005. Accordingly, on May 31, 2005, the Plaintiff filed a final return on capital gains tax for the transfer of the previous apartment of this case and paid KRW 28,391,630.

D. On June 4, 2004, the Plaintiff transferred the previous apartment of this case within one year from the date of approval for use of the apartment of this case, the Plaintiff asserted that the transfer of the previous apartment of this case constitutes a temporary transfer of two houses for one household under Article 155(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act, and that the transfer income tax is exempt from capital gains tax. On June 28, 2005, the Plaintiff filed a request for correction to refund KRW 28,391,630 for the capital gains tax belonging to the transfer income tax of 204 paid to the Defendant.

E. As to this, the Defendant rejected the Plaintiff’s request for correction on August 18, 2005, on the ground that even if the Plaintiff had approved the use of the instant apartment on April 29, 2004, which owned the instant apartment on which the Plaintiff had possessed the instant apartment on June 4, 2004, it cannot be deemed that the household possessing one house in the Republic of Korea under Article 155(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act cannot be deemed to constitute “cases of temporary two houses by acquiring another house before transferring the said apartment,” on the ground that the Plaintiff’s request for correction was rejected on August 18, 2005 (hereinafter “instant disposition”).

Grounds for Recognition: Facts without dispute, Gap 1's evidence 1, Gap 2's evidence, Gap 3's evidence 1, Gap 3's evidence, Gap 4's evidence, Gap 5's evidence

1. To comply with the descriptions of evidence 1, 2, 3, 9, and 10 of evidence 1, 17, 18, and 10;

2. Whether the disposition is lawful;

A. The plaintiff's assertion

On April 29, 2004, the plaintiff acquired the apartment at issue of this case after reconstruction of the apartment at issue of this case, so although the transfer of the previous apartment at issue of this case constitutes a temporary transfer of two houses for one household under Article 155 (1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act, the disposition at issue of this case reported differently is illegal.

(b) Related statutes;

It is as shown in the attached Table related statutes.

C. Determination

The purpose of Article 155 (1) of the Income Tax Act is that if one household who owns one house in Korea comes to temporarily possess two houses by acquiring another house before transferring the house, the transfer income tax is not imposed on the transfer of one house for one household if it transfers the previous house within one year from the date of acquiring another house.

However, as seen earlier, if the Plaintiff acquired and owned the instant reconstruction apartment on February 12, 2001 and invested it in the reconstruction association and was selected as the occupant of the instant apartment in return for the said apartment, even if the Plaintiff obtained approval for the use of the instant apartment on April 29, 2004, which owned the previous apartment, and the Plaintiff transferred the previous apartment on June 4, 2004, within one year thereafter, it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff acquired the instant apartment that is separate from the reconstruction apartment of this case, which is an existing apartment of this case (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 200Du3535, Dec. 22, 200; 98Du13508, Dec. 8, 198; 195Du154(8) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act, the Plaintiff’s assertion that the housing was temporarily reconstructed and destroyed during the period of possession of the said apartment within one-year period from the time of reconstruction cannot be deemed to fall under the previous apartment of this case.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
