The Defendant made a verbal agreement that does not separately pay value-added tax, and the Defendant asserts that the agreed construction cost is KRW 1,850,00,000. Although the written agreement (A) states that “value-added tax separate” is “value-added tax,” the agreement is deemed to have been concluded that the contract price is KRW 1,850,000,00, and value-added tax is not separately paid in light of the following circumstances: (i) there are several contracts signed on January 17, 201; and (ii) there are different parts of the contract price stipulated in each of the contracts (value-added tax of KRW 1,850,00,00,000.
