[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1, Eul evidence 2-1, 2, Gap evidence 3, 5, Eul evidence 1, 3, 4, and 5, and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

In calculating the “property received or to be received by a immediately preceding person” in Article 3(3) of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act and Article 2-2(2) of the Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, the donated property included in the calculation of the “property received or to be received by a immediately preceding person,” shall be the maximum amount of joint and several tax liability, where the remainder of the donated property less total liabilities to be borne by an heir and individual inheritance tax, from the sum of the donated property bearing the gift

As above, the Plaintiff’s inherited property value in relation to the joint tax liability limit is KRW 210,123,888 of the Plaintiff’s inherited property and KRW 729,00,00 of the donated property and KRW 210,846,530 of the donated property, and KRW 518,153,470 of the donated property. As such, the Plaintiff’s total amount of the Plaintiff’s inherited property is KRW 728,27,358 of the donated property (= KRW 518,153,470 + + KRW 210,123,888 of the total amount of the inherited property + KRW 35,146,218, and individual inheritance tax against the Plaintiff is KRW 294,762,268 of the total amount of the total amount of the property, the amount of joint and several tax liability to be borne by the Plaintiff is KRW 398,368,872,727,358,36,2816,264,267

B. Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Form.

C. Determination

1) Article 3(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Act No. 9916, Jan. 1, 2010; hereinafter “former Inheritance Tax Act”) provides that an inheritor is obligated to pay inheritance tax at the rate calculated as prescribed by Presidential Decree based on the property each has received or is to be received from, among inherited property. Article 3(4) of the same Act provides that the said inheritance tax shall be jointly and severally liable to pay to the extent of “property each has received or is to receive” the heir or testamentary donee. Article 2-2(2) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 22042, Feb. 18, 2010; hereinafter “former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act”). Article 3(4) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that “property received or to be received by each person” means total amount of assets acquired by inheritance minus the amount of total liabilities imposed by inheritance and the amount of inheritance tax payable or to be paid by inheritance.

2) Comprehensively taking account of the purport of the entire pleadings in each statement in Eul evidence Nos. 1 through 5, the fact that the Plaintiff’s total amount of assets acquired by inheritance is KRW 939,123,888 (i.e., the value of inherited property + KRW 210,123,888 + KRW 729,00,000 as the donated property + KRW 35,146,294 (i.e., public charges + KRW 34,377,064 + funeral expenses + KRW 769,230). As seen earlier, the Plaintiff’s joint and several tax liability is 609,178,792 won (= KRW 939,123,888 won - KRW 35,146,294,294,798,80).

3) The Plaintiff asserts that the gift tax paid by the Plaintiff should be deducted in calculating the scope of the joint and several tax liability for inheritance tax. However, Article 2-2(2) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act only provides that “the amount of total assets acquired by inheritance and the inheritance tax imposed or to be paid due to inheritance” shall be deducted from the total amount of assets acquired by inheritance. In addition, the main sentence of Article 28(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that the amount of the gift tax for donated property added to inherited property (referring to the amount of the gift tax for donated property at the time of donation) shall be deducted from the calculated amount of inheritance tax (including donated property added to inherited property; hereinafter the same shall apply) shall be limited to an amount calculated by multiplying the calculated amount of inheritance tax to be deducted from the calculated amount of inheritance tax (including donated property added to inherited property) by the rate of 00, which is added to the tax base of donated property paid by the Plaintiff to each heir or donee within the scope of 00, which is included in the inheritance tax base of inheritance tax or gift tax to be paid by the Plaintiff.

4) Therefore, the Plaintiff is obligated to pay KRW 294,798,802, which is the inherent inheritance tax according to the instant disposition, and the Plaintiff bears the joint and several tax liability with respect to the amount in arrears of other co-inheritors within the scope of KRW 609,178,792. Thus, the instant disposition is justifiable. The Plaintiff’s assertion on the premise that the ceiling of the joint and several tax liability to be borne by the Plaintiff is KRW 398,368,872 is without merit.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim shall be dismissed as it is without merit, and the judgment of the court of first instance is just in conclusion, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
