3. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The Plaintiff was awarded a contract for construction of wastewater and air preventive facilities from ○○ Trade, ○○ Salt, ○○ Construction, and ○○ ○○○ Construction, and the construction of the steel structure, which is part of which, in its business registration, had been conducted by giving a subcontract for the construction of the steel structure to the requesting industry that was substantially operated by Kim ○○ Construction, which is its representative. Accordingly, the instant tax invoice was deemed unlawful in the instant disposition that the Plaintiff paid the above subcontract price to ○○ Industry and received it from the requesting industry, but it was deemed as the processing tax invoice. Although the entire tax invoice of the instant case cannot be deemed as a real transaction, the instant disposition that the Plaintiff received a subcontract from ○○ Construction, which is objectively apparent from ○○○, and objectively apparent from ○○ industry, should be deducted as the input tax amount, and thus, the instant disposition was unlawful within the scope of the instant disposition, and even if the Plaintiff did not know the fact that the Plaintiff did not know of the instant tax invoice or the instant tax invoice even if the instant tax invoice was actually supplied.

(3) 김○주는 조세범처벌법위반 혐의로 수사기관에서 조사를 받을 당시 자신이 ○○산업의 대표자로서 사업자등록일부터 폐업일 무렵까지 ○○산업을 운영하면서 실제로 제조 및 기계부품 제조업 등의 사업을 영위한 적이 없어 실물거래로 인한 세금계산서를 발행한 적이 없고, 이 사건 세금계산서를 포함한 39매를 허위의 세금계산서를 실물거래 없이 각 거래처에 교부하였다고 수사기관에서 진술하였으며, 그 후 2001.1.경부터 2002.1.일자불상경까지 실제로 재화 또는 용역을 공급한 사실이 없으면서도 마치 실제로 각 세금계산서에 기재된 공급가액 상당의 재화 또는 용역을 공급한 것처럼 기재한 ○○산업 명의의 허위의 세금계산서를 가공매입자료를 필요로 하는 사람에게 대가를 받고 판매하는 방법으로 이 사건 세금계산서를 포함한 허위의 매출세금꼐산서 39장 공급가액 합계액 663,214,780원을 교부하였다는 공소사실로 기소되어, 2003.1.23. 대구지방법원 2002고단8902호 조세범처벌법위반 사건에서 위 범죄사실이유죄로 인정되어 징역 8월, 집행유예 1년의 형에 처한다는 판결을 선고받았고, 위 판결은 그 무렵 확정되었다.

D. Determination

(1) In a lawsuit seeking revocation on the grounds of illegality of taxation, the tax authority bears the burden of proving the legality of disposition and the existence of the requirement of taxation. The burden of proving the input tax amount deducted in calculating the value-added tax is, in principle, the tax authority. However, barring any special circumstance where a business operator and a supplier under a tax invoice enter all or part of the necessary entry items under Article 17(2)1-2 of the former Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 7007 of Dec. 30, 2003) differently from the fact, the input tax amount cannot be deducted or refunded unless there is any negligence on the part of the person who was supplied with the information that he was unaware of the fact that the person was unaware of the above nominal name (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 94Nu13206, Mar. 10, 1995; 202Du2777, Jun. 28, 2002).

(2) Regarding the instant case, as seen earlier, there is no evidence to acknowledge that there is no negligence on the part of the Plaintiff on the part of the actual supplier and of the supplier on the tax invoice, since it is apparent that the instant tax invoice constitutes another tax invoice.

Rather, according to the evidence Nos. 3, 4-2 through 9, 13, 14-5, 21-1, 2, and 29-1, 21-2, 14-1, 2, 14-2, 2, 14-2, 3, 4-1, 7 of the first instance trial witness Kim Il-young, Kim Il-young's testimony before remand, 30-1, 7 of the first instance trial court's fact finding that the plaintiff was awarded a contract for construction of 0, 40 , 00 , 00 , 7 of the first instance trial court's fact that the construction of steel structures and air preventive facilities, which are some of the above 0 , was ordered to be implemented by Kim Jong-young, 00 , 7 of the first instance trial court's construction work price, and 9 of the first instance court's construction price that the plaintiff was ordered to issue 00 ,000 ,000 ,05 of the other construction price.

(3) Therefore, since the input tax amount based on the instant tax invoice cannot be deducted or refundable, the instant disposition based on such premise is lawful.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the part seeking revocation of the disposition of value-added tax, which is premised on the illegality of the disposition of this case, among the plaintiff's claim, shall be dismissed as it is without merit. Since the part seeking revocation of the disposition of value-added tax in the judgment of the court of first instance is legitimate, the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed as it is so decided as per Disposition (this part of the judgment of the court of first instance concerning the claim for revocation of the disposition of imposing value-added tax, which became final and conclusive by the dismissal of appeal, did not pass a trial as to the cost of lawsuit as to the part seeking revocation
