2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The service of this case is a medical care that is distinct from pure commercial activity, and is subject to VAT exemption, but the disposition of this case imposing value-added tax on the provision of the service of this case is unlawful, and even if the service of this case is not a medical health service of this case or an essential ancillary service, the doctor's diagnosis, diagnosis and prescription included in the service of this case are at least medical health service of this case, so the value-added tax on this part should be revoked.

D. Determination

(1) Article 12 (1) 4 of the Value-Added Tax Act provides that the value-added tax shall be exempted for medical and health services prescribed by the Presidential Decree. Article 12 (3) of the same Act provides that the supply of goods or services that are essentially ancillary to the supply of goods or services exempt under paragraph (1) of the same Article shall be included in the supply of goods or services. Article 29 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provides that the scope of medical and health services shall be provided by a doctor, dentist, oriental medical doctor, midwife or nurse under the Medical Service Act (Article 29 (1) 1), "services provided by a doctor, dentist, oriental medical doctor, midwife, or massage under the Medical Service Act" (Article 12 (1) 2), and "services provided by a clinical path, radiation doctor, physical therapy, occupational therapy, dental technician, dental technician, or dental sanitarian" (Article 3).

However, even though the service of this case is an act conducted under the direction and supervision of the plaintiff who is a medical specialist, it is provided by the secondary manager who is not a medical personnel under Article 29 of the Enforcement Decree of the Medical Service Act, and its main purpose is not the treatment or prevention of disease, and therefore, it does not constitute medical health service provided by medical personnel such as doctors under the Medical Service Act, etc., and it does not constitute medical health service provided by medical personnel such as the medical doctor under the Medical Service Act, etc., and the license holder and qualification holder related to medical care who can assist the doctor to perform part of the whole course under the direction and supervision of a medical doctor under the direction and supervision of a medical doctor. The license holder refers only to medical personnel, medical oil business operator, massage and medical technicians under the Medical Service Act or the Medical Technicians, etc. Act, and the secondary manager does not include this.

(2) According to the above facts, the instant service is not carried out at all imposed members, and it cannot be deemed as services essential for the medical health service even if it is conducted in parallel with the medical health service for the purpose of relaxing side effects and facilitating recovery, as it is an item generally carried out or may be carried out in the general skin management room.

(3) In addition, even though the services performed in the general department management office, which is a taxable object of value-added tax, and the purpose and process of pursuing them are almost similar, the exemption of value-added tax on the grounds of the secondary management services performed within a medical institution, such as the instant member, is not consistent with the taxation-oriented balance, and it does not comply with the legislative intent of allowing the exemption of value-added tax on the medical services provided by medical personnel under the Medical Service Act for the promotion of national health.

(4) As seen earlier, the instant disposition was imposed only on the cost for the service provided by the skin manager in the skin management room within the instant clinic, and the Plaintiff’s medical expenses for the diagnosis, diagnosis, and prescription were collected from the National Health Insurance Corporation or the medical personnel pursuant to the National Health Insurance Act’s benefits or non-benefit items. Thus, it cannot be deemed that the instant service included the medical health service provided by the Plaintiff.

(5) Therefore, it cannot be said that the instant service constitutes a medical health service or an essential accompanying service of medical health service, which is stipulated as value-added tax-free service under Article 12(1) or (3) of the Value-Added Tax Act.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
