[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 2 through 5 evidence, Gap 6-2, Gap 9, 10, 11 evidence, Eul 3 to 8 evidence, and the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiffs' assertion
(1) A person who is not a related party
"(A) The ○○○ Fund is not a partnership but an unincorporated association." "Plaintiffs who renounced the acceptance of the forfeited stocks of this case" and "○○ Fund" that accepted the forfeited stocks of this case is not a person having a special relationship as provided in the law and the Enforcement Decree of the law. (b) Nevertheless, the instant disposition of taxation is unfair in view of the fact that the ○○ Fund in which "○○ Fund in a special relationship with "○○ Fund" was invested by "○○ Fund" is the same as the acquisition of forfeited stocks of this case.
(2) Illegal evaluation by supplementary evaluation methods
(A) The law stipulates that the value of the property on which the gift tax is levied shall be at the “market price” as of the date of donation, and the market price as prescribed by the law means the value which is generally accepted when free transactions are made between many and unspecified persons.
(B) The ○○○○○○○○ is an association established by jointly investing ○○ and ○○○○○○ Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “○○○○”).
(C) Even if ○○○○○ Fund’s acquisition of forfeited shares of this case by ○○○○○○○ Fund is deemed as having been accepted by ○○○○○○○ Fund, it constitutes a transaction with a person having no special relationship with ○○○○○○○○○ Investment, and thus, it constitutes a “market price which is an objective exchange value as stipulated in Article 60(2) of the Act, inasmuch as the transaction between the related parties and the unrelated parties (the transaction between ○○○○ and ○○○○○○ Investment) was made at the same price. Accordingly, the acquisition of ○○○○○○○○○ Investment’s stocks, which is a partner, is not in a special relationship with ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○.”
(D) In addition, ○○○○○○○’s two-time shares were traded after capital increase, but the sales price was converted to that at the time of capital increase, exceeding KRW 400,000 per share. In light of such circumstances, 400,000 per share, the value of ○○○○○○’s shares acquired, shall be deemed as the market price. Accordingly, the Plaintiffs did not gain any profit from the acquisition of forfeited shares.
(E) Nevertheless, the instant disposition, which was based on the value assessed by supplementary assessment methods under the laws and regulations, is erroneous.
(3) The plaintiffs did not directly gain profits.
Article 31-4 (1) 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act applies limited only to the case where a shareholder who renounced the acquisition of new shares obtains a direct benefit from the acquisition of forfeited shares by a specially related person. In this case, the benefits accrued from the acquisition of forfeited shares by ○○○ Fund, which has renounced the plaintiffs' acceptance at a higher price, were reverted to ○○○○○, and the Plaintiffs, who are the shareholders, did not have obtained a direct benefit from the acquisition of forfeited shares, were illegal.
(4) The Plaintiffs did not gain any profit
The benefits arising from the acquisition of forfeited shares at a higher price are attributed to ○○○○○○. If the Plaintiffs, who are shareholders of ○○○○○○○○○○○○, are deemed to have obtained the benefits therefrom, the Plaintiffs, who are shareholders of ○○○○○○, deemed to have suffered the same amount by accepting the forfeited shares at a higher price, and thus, the Plaintiffs were found to have suffered the same amount of damages. Accordingly, the instant disposition imposing the instant tax on the premise that the Plaintiffs, even though they did not have obtained the benefits

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 2 through 5 evidence, Gap 6-2, Gap 9, 10, 11 evidence, Eul 3 through 13, and the purport of the whole pleadings
D. Judgment on the plaintiffs' assertion
(1) Whether the transaction between the Plaintiffs and ○○ Fund constitutes a transaction between related parties
(A) First, in light of the legal nature of the ○○ Fund, the rules of the ○○ Fund on behalf of the general partner in the performance of the business affairs of the Fund, and the general partner can withdraw from the Fund only with the consent of all the members of the Fund, and the property of the Fund is prescribed as partnership-ownership, respectively, and Article 18 of the Support for Small and Medium Enterprise Establishment Act provides that the provisions on partnership under the Civil Act concerning the establishment of a small and medium enterprise shall apply mutatis mutandis to the start-up investment association except as otherwise provided by this Act, there is no room to regard the ○○ Fund as a partnership under the Civil Act.
However, in distinguishing between an association and a non-corporate body without a legal personality under the Civil Act, the association shall be judged on the basis of the strongness of its organization in general. Since the association is established by a contractual relationship under which two or more persons agree to operate a joint business by investing money, other property, or labor with one another, it shall be restricted from a certain degree of organization. However, compared to the human combination where the personal identity of the members is sufficiently revealed, the non-corporate body has a characteristic of an organization as an independent entity that can be the subject of rights and obligations, separate from the personal identity of the members (see Supreme Court Decision 9Da4504 delivered on April 23, 199). In full view of the above facts, ○○○ Fund has its own purpose and based on the formation of rules having the nature of an association, it has two organizations such as a decision-making body, a general meeting and a representative (executive member) who is an executive body, and it shall be determined by a resolution of an organization or a resolution of an execution body, and it shall be determined by the formation or change of an association.
(B) Next, examining the relationship between the Plaintiffs and the ○○○ Fund, the Plaintiffs are holding 94.9% of the shares of ○○ Fund, and ○○○ Fund held 89.3% of the shares of ○○○ Fund. Since ○○ Fund is an association in which ○○ Fund invests more than 30% of the total number of shares issued and outstanding by the Plaintiffs, ○○ Fund and ○○ Fund are related to Article 19(2)7 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act.
(다) 따라서 원고들과 ○○○○펀드가 특수관계인이 아니라는 원고들의 주장은 받아들일 수 없다(다만, 이 사건 부과처분과 제1심은 ○○○○펀드는 법인격 없는 사단이므로 이를 전제로 한 정당한 세액을 계산해 보면 정당세액이 이 사건 부과처분액을 초과함이 명백하므로¹︠⁾ 이 사건 부과처분은 적법하다 할 것이다).
(2) Whether evaluation by supplementary evaluation methods is unlawful
—————————
1) The instant disposition, as seen above, deemed that the gift income was 518,663,777 won (40,000 won-227,908 won) X3,375 Jeju X89.3% (in the event that the new 2 fund is deemed an unincorporated association, only 89.3% of the gift income is changed from the foregoing formula.
(A) In principle, "market price" as stipulated in Article 60 (2) of the Act refers to an objective exchange price formed through normal transactions. In order to fall under the market price at the time of donation, there must be circumstances to deem that the transaction price objectively reflects the general and normal exchange price, and the price should not be changed between the time of donation and the date of the above transaction (see Supreme Court Decision 99Du2505 delivered on February 11, 200).
However, as seen earlier, considering the following: (a) ○○○○ acquired the shares of ○○○ Investment; (b) ○○○○○○ Investment as a partner of the same ○○○ Fund; (c) in relation to a partner with limited liability as a partner of the same ○○ Fund and has an interest in distributing profits and losses; and (d) the instant forfeited stocks have acquired only to ○○○ and ○○○○ Investment, a third party’s acquisition of the forfeited stocks, it cannot be deemed that the value of ○○ Investment’s acquisition of the forfeited stocks reflects the general and normal exchange value at an objective exchange price formed by normal transactions.
Therefore, this part of the plaintiffs' assertion cannot be accepted.
(B) The plaintiffs also claim that the sales price exceeds 400,000 won per share when it was converted to ○○○○○○○○○○’s shares issued at the time of capital increase, and that the value of the sales price exceeds 400,000 won per share, which is the value of ○○○○○○○○○○○’s shares acquired at the time of capital increase. However, according to Article 60(1) of the Act, the value of the property on which gift tax is levied is based on the market price as of the date of donation. Thus, even if the transaction price in the year 202 and 2003 is deemed to be normal if it is freely traded between many unspecified persons, as seen in the above facts of recognition, it cannot be said that there is no profit.
Therefore, this part of the plaintiffs' assertion cannot be accepted.
(3) Whether Article 31-4(1)1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act applies only to the case where a shareholder who renounced the subscription of new shares obtains a direct benefit due to the acceptance of forfeited stocks by a person with a special relationship.
Article 42 (2) of the Act provides that "in case where a person who has renounced all or part of the right to receive new stocks at the time of capital increase under paragraph (1) and Articles 33 through 41-4 takes over the property at a high price through transactions as prescribed by the Presidential Decree, the person who has renounced such right shall be deemed to have received the property at the time of the transfer, and the matters necessary for the calculation of the property value and the person who has a special relationship under paragraph (2) shall be prescribed by the Presidential Decree." Accordingly, Articles 31-9 (1) 1 and 19 (2) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act provide that "the matters necessary for the calculation of the property value and the person who has a special relationship under paragraph (2) shall be determined by the Presidential Decree." Article 31-4 (1) 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act provides that the person who has renounced such right shall not be deemed to have received the donation from the specially related person under Article 19 (1) of the Act, since the person who has renounced the right to receive new stocks at the higher price.
(4) Whether ○○○ shareholders suffered damages equivalent to the amount of profit earned as the shareholders of ○○○○○○○○○○○’s shareholder due to ○○○’s acquisition of forfeited shares of the instant case at a high price
The Plaintiffs asserted that ○○○○ Fund, a partner of the Fund, acquired the forfeited stocks of this case in proportion to its equity shares on the premise that the legal nature of the ○○ Fund is an association. However, as seen above, ○○ Fund is an unincorporated association, and thus, the subject to whom the forfeited stocks of this case accrue is neither ○○ nor ○○ Fund, and thus, ○○ Fund is deemed an unincorporated association. Therefore, the above assertion premised on the premise that ○○ Fund is an association is without merit.
(5) Sub-decisions
Ultimately, the instant disposition based on the value assessed by the Defendants according to the supplementary assessment methods under Article 60(3) of the Act, deeming the acceptance of forfeited principle of this case as “transaction between parties in a special relationship” is lawful.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiffs' claim of this case is without merit, and all of them should be dismissed. The judgment of the court of first instance with the same conclusion is just and the plaintiffs' appeal is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
