Main Issues

Whether an affiliated company in the same group is a person with a mutual relation.

Summary of Judgment

Judgment of the lower court

Seoul High Court Decision 85Gu124 delivered on October 21, 1985

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal by the defendant litigant are examined.

1. According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below acknowledged that the above Maritime Co., Ltd. issued 1,00,000 new shares on May 19, 1981 (1,000 won per share) and issued 1,000,000 won shares at the time of issuing capital increase, Nonparty 1 owned 21.09%, Nonparty 29.82%, and Nonparty 3 owned 29.09% at the time of issuing capital increase, but the above Maritime Co., Ltd. did not clearly recognize that the above Maritime Co., Ltd.’s 1,00,000 shares were transferred to the above Maritime Co., Ltd.’s 1,00,000 shares and were allocated to the above Maritime Co., Ltd.’s Maritime Co., Ltd.’s 1,200,000 shares to the above Maritime Co., Ltd.’s Maritime Co., Ltd.’s 1, 2001.

The court below did not find any defects in the rules of evidence, such as the theory of lawsuit, and even in the case of proof of the same workplace relationship as prescribed in Article 19 of the above Enforcement Rule, the tax authority should separately prove the facts related to the transferor, so there is no illegality in the misapprehension of the legal principles of the above Enforcement Rule.

2. The judgment of the court below is based on the following arguments by the defendant, i.e., the representative director of the company in which three of the above non-party invested, and thus the plaintiff is practically an employee of the above three persons, and thus, the plaintiff is a person in a special relationship under Article 34-4 of the Inheritance Tax Act and Article 41 (4) and (2) 3 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act. However, although there is a defect in the judgment of the court below, the plaintiff can be deemed as an employee of the company as the representative director of the company in which three of the plaintiff invested, but it cannot be deemed as an employee of the above three of the company, the plaintiff and the above non-party did not affect the conclusion of the court below's decision revoking the disposition of gift tax

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
