Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

With respect to paragraphs 1, 3

Article 16 subparag. 7 of the Corporate Tax Act and Article 30 subparag. 3-2 of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act provide that the expenses for the maintenance of a company house used by an investor or a contributor of a corporation and his relatives shall not be included in the calculation of losses in the calculation of the income amount of the corporation which is subject to the corporate tax. Article 20 of the same Act and Article 46(2)7-2 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provide that the company house shall be calculated as the income amount of each business year of the corporation, regardless of the amount of the corporation's act or income, if the company house is provided to an officer who is the investor or contributor of the corporation or his relatives who is the investor of the corporation, or his relatives in the case that the investor of the corporation concerned is a corporation, the investor shall not be included in the calculation of the income amount of the corporation.

Therefore, the court below is just in holding that all the shares issued by the plaintiff company are owned by the non-party 1, and that the non-party 1 is merely a shareholder of the non-party 1, and that the non-party 1 cannot be viewed as an investor of the plaintiff company, and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as pointed out therein. It is nothing but an error in the judgment of the court below in other opinion. The argument is groundless

With respect to the second ground:

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below has duly confirmed the fact that the apartment of this case is used as the company house of an officer in charge of the Seoul Business Office of the plaintiff company from May 9, 1984 to now, and in light of the records, the fact finding by the court below is just and correct and there is no violation of the rules of evidence as pointed out, and there is no error of law

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