납품업자와 특정매입거래약정을 체결하고 지급한 대금은 기업어음제도개선 세액공제대상 아님[일부패소]
National High Court Decision 2007west1844 (2010.02.04)
The price paid after concluding a specific purchase transaction agreement with the supplier is not subject to the improvement tax credit for commercial paper systems.
A specific purchase transaction contract cannot be deemed as a "purchase price related to ordinary business activities" because its substance is not different from that of a consignment sales contract, and thus, it cannot be deemed as a "purchase price". However, the advisory service cost related to the acquisition of management rights for the expansion of business sector is subject to input tax deduction.

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 1-3 evidence (including branch numbers), Eul 1, 3, 4, and 7 evidence (including branch numbers), the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Whether a disposition to increase or correct the above corporate tax and value-added tax is legitimate;
A. The plaintiff's assertion
(1) As to the corporate tax portion
Article 7-2 (3) 1 of the Restriction of Special Taxation Act does not limit the nature of the transaction to which the goods are supplied, if the purchase price is the price for the "supply of the goods". Thus, the amount related to the specific purchase transaction between the plaintiff and the ○○let supplier falls under the above purchase price, and thus, the tax credit should be made pursuant to Article 7-2 (1) of the Restriction of
(2) Regarding value-added tax part
The advisory service cost of this case is used in the process of acquiring △△ Asia’s stocks and taking over the management right of △△ Asia. This is directly related to the Plaintiff’s business. Moreover, even if the shares acquired in the process of acquiring the management right are transferred after the next, it is because the shares are not the goods supplied by the company, not the door, but the goods supplied by the company when the shares fall under the tax-free goods prescribed in each subparagraph of Article 12(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act. As long as the Plaintiff’s advisory service cost of this case does not fall under any of the subparagraphs of Article 17(2) of the Value-Added Tax Act which provides for restrictive and listed matters, it shall be deducted from the output tax amount (the Plaintiff’s grounds for correction under the above
(b) Related statutes;
Attached Form 2 shall be as stated in the relevant statutes.
C. Determination
(1) As to the portion of corporate tax (as to whether the Plaintiff entered into a specific purchase transaction agreement with the supplier and paid to the supplier is subject to tax credit, and the reasons for the correction in the above clause)
Article 7-2 (3) of the Restriction of Special Taxation Act provides that "the term used in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall be defined as "the amount that a purchasing company supplies goods or receives services from a selling company in connection with its ordinary business activities consistent with its business objectives". Meanwhile, the main sentence of Article 6 (5) of the Value-Added Tax Act governing the value-added tax that directly requires "the supply of goods by contract or legal cause" provides that the truster or the principal shall be deemed to have supplied goods or been supplied with goods, and Article 2 (7) of the Specific Unfair Trade Practices and Criteria (Fair Trade Commission Notice No. 201-9) provided for "the specific purchase transaction" defined as "the type of transaction in which goods are sold by a large retail store operator and returned goods by being entrusted by the supplier".
In light of the following circumstances, with regard to the legal nature of a contract that the Plaintiff entered into with the supplier using the “specified Purchase Transaction Agreement (see evidence No. 7-4 of the evidence No. 7)”, the Plaintiff is obligated to dispatch the Plaintiff’s sales staff to the Plaintiff’s ○ Dolet store, and the sales staff are entirely in charge of sales business; when the Plaintiff sells the products received from the supplier to the consumer, the Plaintiff pays to the supplier the amount calculated by deducting the agreed fee from the sales amount received from the supplier, and then the Plaintiff is ultimately liable to the supplier if the Plaintiff is deemed to have suffered damage on the grounds that there is any defect in the products sold from the consumer. Accordingly, it is reasonable to view that the contract under the above Specific Purchase Transaction Agreement was not different from the sales amount, and thus, the Plaintiff is merely the trustee, and thus, it cannot be deemed that the supplier directly supplied the goods to the supplier.
Therefore, it is legitimate to revise the above corporate tax based on the grounds for correction under the above clause. This part of the plaintiff's assertion is without merit.
(2) Regarding the part of value-added tax (whether the advisory service cost of this case is subject to the non-deduction of input tax amount, and the grounds for rectification under the aforementioned paragraph
(A) The fact that the Plaintiff was established on February 16, 1982 and runs the business of manufacturing and selling clothes, food, visual, and miscellaneous articles, real estate sale and lease leaves, etc. As seen earlier, the Plaintiff’s acquisition of management rights by △△△△ for the expansion of the distribution business portion is related to the Plaintiff’s business. It is reasonable to view that the consulting service cost in this case is not an input tax amount that is not deducted from the output tax amount under Article 17(2)2 of the Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 9915 of Jan. 1, 2010). In addition, it does not include the scope of “in the case of an input tax amount for an expenditure not directly related to the business” under Article 60(3) of the Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 22043 of Feb. 18, 2010).
(B) Article 17(2) of the Value-Added Tax Act provides for the input tax amount (including the input tax amount related to investment) related to the business that supplies goods or services exempt from value-added tax and the land-related purchase tax amount as prescribed by the Presidential Decree, while stipulating that the following input tax amounts shall not be deducted from the output tax amount. However, the above △△△ shares acquired by the Plaintiff cannot be deemed as tax-free goods under each subparagraph of Article 12(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act, and it is not a company that supplies the Plaintiff’
(C) Therefore, the grounds for correction of the above Paragraph (1) are unlawful, and the plaintiff's assertion on this point is with merit.
(D) On the premise that the grounds for rectification under the foregoing Paragraph (1) are illegal, the calculation of the justifiable notice amount of each value-added tax for the period of 1, 2003, 2003, 1, 2004, and 2, 2004, as indicated in the attached Table 3, 4, 5, and 6, 19, 919, 955 won for value-added tax for the period of 2003, 2003, 203
2. The amount of value-added tax for the second period is less than 2.51,142 won, 1,862,043 won for the first period value-added tax in 2004, and 1,355,483 won for the second period value-added tax in 2004, and the amount of each political party notified by the Plaintiff as alleged by the Plaintiff. However, this court cannot order revocation in excess of the scope sought by the Plaintiff based on the disposition authority principle. Thus, it shall be revoked to
3. Conclusion
Therefore, among the plaintiff's claim of this case, the part of the plaintiff's claim of this case seeking the revocation of some of the disposition of increase in value-added tax on January 3, 2007, 2003, 2003, 1, 2004, and 2, 2004, is justified. Thus, the plaintiff's remaining claims are dismissed for lack of justifiable grounds. It is so decided as per Disposition.
