3) Therefore, each of the instant dispositions is unlawful.

B. Relevant statutes

The entries in the attached Table-related statutes are as follows.

C. Determination

1) Legal principles

A) the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Act No. 11130, Dec. 31, 201);

Article 45-2(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (hereinafter referred to as the “former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act”) applies in cases where the actual owner and the nominal owner enter into a registration, etc. in the name of the nominal owner by agreement or communication with respect to the property, the transfer or exercise of the right of which requires registration, etc., so the said provision may not apply in cases where a registration, etc. is made unilaterally under the name of the nominal owner regardless of the intent of the nominal owner. In such cases, the tax authority may only prove that the actual owner is different from the nominal owner, and the verification that the registration, etc., of the nominal owner was made under the unilateral act of the actual owner regardless

See Supreme Court Decision 2007Du15780, etc.

B) In addition, the legislative purport of Article 45-2(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act is to use the title trust system.

Inasmuch as an exception to the substance over form principle is recognized in the purport of effectively preventing tax avoidance and realizing tax justice, the proviso of the same Article can only be applied to a case where the purpose of tax avoidance is not included in the purpose of the title trust, and the burden of proving that there was no purpose of tax avoidance in the title trust exists. Therefore, the fact that there was no purpose of tax avoidance may be proven by means of proving that there was no purpose of tax avoidance, other than the purpose of tax avoidance. However, the nominal owner who bears the burden of proof has an obvious purpose of tax avoidance, which is irrelevant to the tax avoidance, to the extent that it is recognized that there was no objective of tax avoidance in the title trust, and that there was no tax avoidance in the future at the time of the title trust or in the future, it is necessary to prove that there was no objective and objective evidence that there was no purpose of tax avoidance in the title trust (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Du24968, Mar. 28, 2013).

2) Determination

A) Whether a transfer is made regardless of the Plaintiff’s intent

The plaintiff does not dispute that he is not the actual owner of each of the shares of this case. The plaintiff's transfer under the name of the plaintiff was made as an unilateral act of Kim XX, regardless of the plaintiff's intention. But it is difficult to believe that the plaintiff's transfer of shares was made under the name of the plaintiff 2, No. 6-2, No. 7, and witness testimony, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge that the plaintiff's transfer of shares was made under the name of the plaintiff 2, No. 4-2, No. 3, and No. 6-1, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge that the plaintiff's transfer of shares was made under the name of the plaintiff 1, No. 30, Oct. 14, 2009. According to the above evidence and the purport of the pleading, the plaintiff's transfer of shares to the purport that the plaintiff's transfer of shares was made under the name of the plaintiff 2, an integrated title trust (No. 7, No. 2000, Jul. 4, 201201).

B) Whether the purpose of tax avoidance exists

In addition, as to whether there was no tax avoidance purpose or not, it is difficult to believe that the testimony of a witness dedicated to the plaintiff's above assertion is difficult, and the testimony of the witness dedicated to Gap's 3 through 9, Gap 11, and the result of the order of submission of tax information by the LL Tax Office and SS Tax Office to the LL Tax Office and the LL Tax Office of this court is carried out for a clear different purpose from that of the plaintiff's name, and it is insufficient to view that there was no tax avoidance or tax avoidance at the time of transfer or transfer, to the extent that there is no doubt, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge it.

4) Sub-determination

Therefore, each disposition of this case cannot be deemed to be erroneous as alleged by the plaintiff.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed in entirety as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
