D. Determination

(1) Determination as to the proposal of entry in paragraph (1) by the Plaintiff Company

According to Article 17(1) and (2)1-2 of the Value-Added Tax Act, where necessary entries, such as the name of a business operator who supplies goods under Article 16(1) of the Act, are entered differently from the facts, the input tax amount shall not be deducted. The burden of proving that the tax invoice is false is, in principle, the defendant who is the tax authority, but where the defendant proves that the tax invoice is not accompanied by the real transaction based on the direct evidence or overall circumstances, to the extent that he reasonably acceptable with regard to the falsity, such as that the tax invoice is not accompanied by the real transaction, it is necessary to prove that he/she complies with his/her assertion, considering that the plaintiff, who asserts that the tax invoice is not false, is in a position to present the relevant evidence and materials (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 9

According to the above facts, the other party who actually supplied the goods specified in the tax invoice of this case to the Plaintiff Company is presumed BB Ballast or (State) BB Ballast, and therefore the tax invoice of this case was prepared in a false manner with respect to the supplier. However, it is difficult to reverse the above facts of recognition merely with the statement of evidence No. 23, and therefore, this part of the Plaintiff Company's assertion is without merit.

(2) Determination as to the proposal of entry in paragraph (1)(2) of the Plaintiff Company

If the actual supplier and the supplier on the tax invoice intend to receive the tax invoice from the special circumstances that there is no negligence on the part of the actual supplier who is supplied on other tax invoices, the fact of the title of the tax invoice should be known and that there is no negligence on the part of the supplier, the person who is recommended to receive the tax invoice tax deduction or internal refund shall be included in the same situation (referring to the Supreme Court Decisions 94Nu13206 delivered on March 10, 1995, 97Nu4920 delivered on June 27, 1997, etc.).

In this case, there is no evidence to prove that the Plaintiff Company was unaware of, and was negligent in not aware of, the fact that AAC was not a actual supplier of the goods, even though it was not a actual supplier of the goods, there is no evidence to prove that the Plaintiff Company was aware of, or could have easily known, the fact that the actual supplier of the goods knew or could have known, the BB ballast or (State)B Ballast, which is not AAC.

Therefore, there is no reason for the plaintiff company to be a partial owner.

3. Conclusion

Thus, the rejection disposition of this case based on the premise that the tax invoice of this case was prepared in a false manner different from the actual one is legitimate, and the plaintiff's claim of this case seeking the revocation is dismissed as it is without merit.
