2. Whether each of the dispositions of this case is legitimate

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The plaintiff asserts that each of the dispositions of this case should be revoked in an unlawful manner for the following reasons.

1) The Director of the Regional Tax Office related to the imposition of the value-added tax in this case conducted a tax investigation against the Plaintiff without notifying the Plaintiff of the extension of the scope of tax investigation on the items of value-added tax in violation of Article 81-9(2) of the former Framework Act on National Taxes (amended by Act No. 15220, Dec. 19, 2017; hereinafter the same). As such, the disposition imposing the value-added

2) Regarding the disposition of imposition of the corporate tax of this case

(A) procedural defects in a tax investigation;

Since it is difficult to view that there is a clear suspicion of tax evasion under Article 81-9(1) of the former Framework Act on National Taxes and Article 63(1)3 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act with the Plaintiff’s payment of benefits to DD, the scope of tax investigation for this reason is unlawful. Ultimately, the part of corporate tax for the business year 2016, among the disposition imposing corporate tax in this case, is based on an illegal tax

B) Non-Inclusion of DD's benefits in deductible expenses

(1) According to Article 43(4) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 28640, Feb. 13, 2018; hereinafter the same), remuneration paid to non-standing executive officers should be included in deductible expenses in principle. Thus, even if non-standing executive officers with a special relationship are non-standing executive officers, it should be included in deductible expenses only by calculating how much remuneration was paid in comparison with those without a special relationship pursuant to Article 52 of the former Corporate Tax Act (amended by Act No. 16008, Dec. 24, 2018; hereinafter the same shall apply). Nevertheless, the disposition of imposing corporate tax in this case is unlawful as it does not consider Article 43(4) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act, and it is unlawful as it excluded the total

(2) Around 2015, around 572 times in 2015 and around 717 times in 2016, DDD had access to the Plaintiff’s computerized service system and participated in the work site and overall operation of the company with representatives and executive officers, and participated in the work site each year. Along with the fact that DD offered access to the Plaintiff’s computerized service system and offered access to the Plaintiff’s representative and branch office or offered access to the branch office by himself/herself, and that DD suggested ideas or pointed out shortage of broadcasting advertising, DD should be deemed to have actually performed its duties as the Plaintiff’s auditor. Furthermore, DD’s benefits paid to DD should be considered as compensation for the portion that DD paid at all while serving as a non-registered director from around 2008 to 2015, compared to the case where D paid benefits to the representative director and executive officers other than the Plaintiff’s benefits paid to D in excess of D’s benefits paid.
