Text

1. The plaintiff's appeal is all dismissed.

2. The costs of appeal shall be borne by the Plaintiff.

Reasons

1. Quotation of judgment of the first instance;

The reasoning for the judgment of the court in this case is as stated in the reasoning for the judgment of the court of first instance except for the parts added or added below. Thus, this is cited in accordance with Article 8(2) of the Administrative Litigation Act and Article 420 of the Civil Procedure Act.

○ The following shall be added to the 7th written judgment of the first instance court (hereinafter referred to as “written judgment of the first instance”) below:

A tax investigation is a kind of administrative investigation for the realization of the State's right to impose taxes, and refers to any act of making inquiries to determine or correct the tax base and amount of national tax and inspecting or investigating books, documents and other articles, or ordering the submission thereof. In the case of a tax investigation for which the tax authority's right to ask questions to a taxpayer or a person who is deemed to have a transaction with the taxpayer (hereinafter referred to as "taxpayer, etc.") bears the legal obligation to allow the taxpayer to answer questions and undergo an inspection for the collection of the taxation data. Meanwhile, a repeated tax investigation for the same item and taxable period may seriously infringe not only on the taxpayer's freedom of business or legal stability, but also lead to the abuse of the authority to conduct a tax investigation. Therefore, it is necessary to be prohibited except in exceptional cases that seriously

○ 8 10 10 m2, “after the 8th 10 m2,” and ③ 2013 m20, where a tax authority’s inquiry and investigation for a tax disposition was made, and it is difficult to deem that ○○○ has a legal obligation to answer questions for tax officials to collect taxation data and to allow them to inspect.”

○ Not less than 8 7 acts under 7 acts, the following shall be added to “the former Framework Act on National Taxes.”

○ 8 At the bottom of 8, the following shall be added to:

On the other hand, the Plaintiff asserts that the collection of cash loan from June 27, 2005 by the director of the regional tax office of ○○○○○ (hereinafter referred to as the “○○○”) upon the temporary storage investigation constitutes a violation of the warrant requirement (the principle of law procedure). Thus, even if the taxation data can be secured by the aforementioned temporary storage investigation, the instant case did not meet the requirements of the temporary storage investigation, and thus, it cannot be considered as

Article 81-10(1) of the former Framework Act on National Taxes provides that a tax official may not keep books, documents, etc. of a taxpayer at the tax office for the purpose of a tax investigation, but may temporarily keep them within the minimum extent necessary for the purpose of a tax investigation with the consent of the taxpayer. In full view of the purport of the entire pleadings in the statement in subparagraph 12, the fact that ○○ Director of the Regional Tax Office conducted from January 13, 2016 to March 28, 2016 and kept them temporarily with the consent of ○○○○○○○ with the consent of ○○○○○○○ in an integrated investigation, including corporate tax, etc. on ○○○○○ (1). Although the consent for temporary storage was not based on the free will of the Plaintiff, the Plaintiff’s assertion that the consent for such temporary storage was not based on the free will of the Plaintiff, it is difficult to view that ○○ Director of the Regional Tax Office’s temporary storage during the aforementioned integrated investigation period exceeded the necessary minimum scope.

○ 10 (10) 5 (10) cases where a title trust relationship is established with respect to new shares under a title trust with Supreme Court Decision 2017Du39419 Decided December 13, 2017, the Plaintiff argued that it should be different from the case of a general title trust inasmuch as it is difficult to deem that there is any additional tax avoidance in relation to the existing shares under a title trust with respect to the acquisition of new shares under a title trust. However, the above Supreme Court decision of the Plaintiff, when the title holder bears the burden of proof, has a clear purpose of having no relation to the tax avoidance to the extent that it is recognized that there was no tax avoidance purpose in the title trust, and that there was no tax avoidance at the time of the title trust or there was no tax avoidance at the time of the title trust, and based on this, should be added to the burden of proof that the title holder of the shares under a title trust bears the burden of proof.

Inasmuch as ○○○ 10’s 10th 9th 9th son, the following was added “(the Plaintiff asserted that, at the time of the instant capital increase with consideration for the capital increase, ○○ was a situation in which the losses were accumulated, making it difficult to expect future dividends due to the uncertainty of the existence and abolition of the company, but in light of the above ○○○○’s performance, the foregoing assertion is difficult to accept)

○ 10 12 12 mal. “Influent, it is difficult for the Plaintiff to add “(the Plaintiff is also the person who is also the Plaintiff that there is a difference between the income tax rate to be applied to the Plaintiff and the two others).”

○ At the bottom of 10 up to 2 'Burk' shall add "only the description of evidence No. 13" to the following:

2. Conclusion

Therefore, the judgment of the first instance court is just, and the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed as it is without merit.
