On December 17, 2002, the apartment house of this case donated 1/2 shares to 00,00 of the 1/2 shares to 06,326,510 of the gift tax amount at the time (the gift tax amount at the time fell short of 500,00,000 won, and thus the gift tax was not imposed and notified to 00,000). On April 18, 2003, the Plaintiff and the appointee completed the registration of ownership transfer in the name of 00,000 with respect to the apartment of this case.

B. On November 20, 2003, the Plaintiff and the White○○○○○○, respectively, transferred 1/2 shares of the instant apartment to 00,000,000 won to 2,80,000,000 won. On January 28, 2004, the Plaintiff paid 159,19,320 won to 159,19,320 won to the Defendant, and 109,985,340 won to the Selection○○.

C. On March 30, 2004, 1,254,431,510 won of the acquisition value of the apartment 1/2 of this case at the time of the above preliminary return (i.e., KRW 406,326,510 of the donated property value + KRW 848,105,00 of the total sale price after the donation + KRW 406,326,510 of the donated property value + KRW 593,673,490 of the total sale price after donation + KRW 593,490), ○○ filed a claim for correction on the ground that the Defendant filed a claim for correction on March 30, 204 for refund of KRW 81,625,809 of the transfer income tax for the year 203, the acquisition value of the instant apartment 1/206,306,510 of the donated property value and KRW 848,510,000 of the sale price.

D.

Meanwhile, in order to reduce the transfer income tax on the 1/2 shares of the apartment in this case unfairly, the Defendant: (a) deemed that the Plaintiff donated 1/2 shares out of the right to sell the apartment in this case to 00 ○○○, the wife of the Plaintiff with a special relationship, and then transferred the 1/2 shares of the apartment in this case on November 20, 2003; (b) on December 30, 2003, as amended by Act No. 7006 of Dec. 30, 2003; and (c) applied the denial provision under Article 101(2) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 7837 of Dec. 31, 2005; (b) deemed that the Plaintiff directly transferred the 1/2 shares of the apartment in this case to ○○○, the Defendant issued a notice of increase in the transfer income tax on 1/100 won in this case + 300 won in this case’s disposition on October 16, 200198.

2. Determination on the lawfulness of an intermediate confirmation suit

As a lawsuit for intermediate confirmation of this case, the plaintiff is whether the income tax law can be applied preferentially to Article 18 of the Framework Act on National Taxes in rendering each of the dispositions of this case, and since 00 ○○ transferred the share transfer registration under his name with respect to the share 1/2 of this case, it is real estate, and it is necessary to confirm whether the defendant's right to sell this case is legitimate.

On the other hand, when there is a dispute between the parties as to the existence or absence of a legal relationship with respect to the determination of the original claim during the lawsuit, the lawsuit seeking confirmation of such legal relationship by combining the litigation procedures (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 83Nu554, 555, Jun. 26, 1984). In light of the content of the lawsuit, the lawsuit seeking confirmation of the intermediate confirmation of this case is unlawful, since it is not a legal relationship with respect to the determination of the principal claim of this case, but a legal interpretation or a confirmation of factual relations, rather than

3. Determination as to the claim on the principal lawsuit

A. Whether a request for revocation of the first disposition of this case is lawful

First of all, among the instant disposition 1, the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on the part on which the Defendant seeks the revocation of the imposition of gift tax on the designated person 00 on October 2004, and the lawsuit on the non-existent administrative disposition is unlawful as there is no interest in the lawsuit (see Supreme Court Decisions 95Nu108, Dec. 12, 1995; 96Nu1931, Sept. 26, 1997). Since there is no evidence to prove that the Defendant revoked the disposition on the imposition of gift tax on the designated person 00 on October 20, 204, the above part is unlawful as there is no interest in the lawsuit.

Next, among the instant disposition No. 1, the part on which the Defendant sought the revocation of the disposition of imposition of capital gains tax of KRW 110,885,350 for the transfer income tax of shares 1/2 of apartment housing of this case, which was made by the Defendant to 00, Oct. 2004 against 1/200, shall be examined, and in light of the fact that there is no benefit to seek the revocation of the disposition of reduction or correction by the tax authority, which is a favorable effect to the taxpayer, as a partial revocation of the amount of tax (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 95Nu8904, Nov. 15, 1996). In light of the above disposition of imposition of capital gains tax, the disposition of revocation also has no benefit to seek the revocation of the disposition as a favorable effect to 00

Therefore, among the principal lawsuit of this case, the part seeking revocation of the first disposition of this case is unlawful.

B. Whether the disposition No. 2 of this case is legitimate

(1) The plaintiff's assertion

The instant disposition is unlawful for the following reasons.

First, even though the time when the White○○○ transferred the instant apartment 1/2 shares, the instant apartment 1/2 shares was amended by Act No. 7006 of Dec. 30, 2003 and applied Article 101(2) of the former Income Tax Act prior to the amendment by Act No. 7837 of Dec. 31, 2005, the instant disposition was in violation of the principle of prohibition of retroactive taxation, and there is no legal basis.

Second, the Defendant confirmed that the preliminary return of the capital gains tax base on January 28, 2004, by rejecting a claim for correction on KRW 109,985,340 of the capital gains tax belonging to the year 2003 on July 12, 2004 was legitimate, and thus, the Defendant established a non-taxable practice that the Plaintiff would not impose capital gains tax on the shares 1/2 of the instant apartment owned by the Selection○○, thereby violating the principle of prohibition of retroactive taxation on non-taxable practice.

Third, since the Plaintiff’s donation to 000 in 1/2 of the apartment in this case is not the ownership of 1/2 of the apartment in this case, it is not the ownership of 1/2 of the apartment in this case, it is only the subject of the taxation of carry-over of the spouse’s donation property under Article 97(4) of the Income Tax Act, and it is not the subject of the regulation of denial of unfair act calculation under Article 101(2) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 7006 of Dec. 30, 2003).

(2) Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Table related statutes.

(3) Determination

(A) As to the first argument

The prohibition of retroactive taxation refers to the principle that no retroactive taxation shall be levied on the income, profit, property, or transaction established with the obligation to pay national taxes under Article 18(2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes. In full view of the purport of each of the above evidence Nos. 2 and 7, the Constitutional Court rendered a donation to a person with a special relationship prescribed by the Presidential Decree for the purpose of unreasonably reducing the income tax on the capital gains tax on July 24, 2003, and then again transfers the assets to another person within 2 years from the date of donation, the donor shall be deemed to have transferred the assets directly to the Plaintiff. Article 101(2) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 5031, Dec. 29, 1995); Article 101(2) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 5191, Dec. 30, 196); Article 201 of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 5190, Dec. 1, 9996).

Therefore, the above argument is without merit.

(B) On the second argument

In order for a non-taxable practice under Article 18(3) of the Framework Act on National Taxes to be established, there exists an objective fact that has not been taxed over a considerable period of time, as well as an intent that the tax authorities are exempt from taxation due to any special circumstance, knowing that the tax authorities are able to impose taxes on the matter, and such public opinion or intent should be expressed explicitly or implicitly (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2004Du6204, Oct. 28, 2004). However, even through erroneous interpretation or practice, it means that even if it was accepted as just by a general taxpayer who is not a specific taxpayer, and it is recognized that it is not unreasonable for the taxpayer to trust such interpretation or practice (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2001Du403, Sept. 5, 2003).

Therefore, as seen earlier, even if the Defendant rendered a disposition to refuse to file a claim for correction against the Appoint○○○○, such circumstance alone is difficult to deem that the Defendant expressed to the Plaintiff an intention not to impose capital gains tax on the transfer income of the shares of the 1/2 apartment of the instant apartment of 1/2, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge that the non-taxation practice of the Plaintiff’s assertion was constituted, and therefore, the above assertion is without merit

(C) As to the third argument

In order to prevent a resident from evading capital gains tax by donating land, etc. to his spouse, Article 97 (4) of the Income Tax Act provides that the acquisition value shall be the acquisition value of the relevant spouse, and the amount equivalent to the gift tax paid or to be paid by the resident on the donated property shall be included in necessary expenses, in order to prevent the resident from evading capital gains tax by transferring the land, etc. to his spouse within five years retroactively from the date of transfer. Since Article 163 (7) (amended by Presidential Decree No. 18173 of Dec. 30, 2003) and Article 158 (1) 4 (amended by Presidential Decree No. 18173 of Dec. 30, 2003) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 18173 of Dec. 30, 2003) provide that the right to use the specific facilities or the right to use the specific facilities, regardless of their titles, to be exclusively used for the relevant facilities or to the person entitled to use the above apartment facilities under the condition for general users.

5. Conclusion

Therefore, the intermediate confirmation lawsuit of this case and the part seeking the revocation of the disposition No. 1 of this case among the main lawsuit of this case are dismissed, respectively, and the remainder of the main lawsuit of this case is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
