2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The plaintiff asserts that the disposition of this case is unlawful for the following reasons.

(1) It is true that the Plaintiff omitted the return on the instant sales. However, in light of the fact that: (a) the Plaintiff did not issue the tax invoice for the instant sales was an inevitable result in trade practice; (b) the Plaintiff recorded all details of the instant sales including the instant sales in the daily account book, etc. regardless of whether to issue the tax invoice; and (c) the Plaintiff received all revenues of the instant business establishment including the instant sales through the Plaintiff’s business account; and (b) the Plaintiff’s omission of the return on the instant sales constitutes a mere omission of the return; (c) the omission of the return on the instant sales constitutes a mere omission of the return; and (d) the Plaintiff did not constitute a deceptive scheme or other unlawful act to the extent that it would make it impossible or considerably difficult to collect taxes. However, the instant disposition made on a different premise

(2) In light of the fact that the Seoul Regional Tax Office Review Committee notifies the Plaintiff of the non-approval of the tax offense investigation and that the first Defendant applied the general under-reported penalty tax against the Plaintiff, the instant disposition that applied the unfair under-reported penalty tax according to the audit and cadastral record of the director of the Seoul Regional Tax Office is unlawful as it unfairly infringes on the taxpayer’s rights contrary to the

B. Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Form.

(c) Fact of recognition;

(1) The Defendant conducted an integrated investigation of global income tax for the Plaintiff from January 4, 2012 to February 10, 2012 by means of a tax evasion report, from January 10, 2012, to February 10, 2009. After securing the original market register, daily account statement, and delivery note kept in the instant workplace through deposit investigation, it compared them with the Plaintiff’s reported amount and identified the sales amount of the instant case and necessary expenses.

(2) Although the Plaintiff had kept original account books containing KRW 000 of the sales revenue of this case and KRW 000 of the necessary expenses of this case, such as raw materials and personnel expenses corresponding thereto, which were omitted, within the place of business, but the computerized account books prepared by the Plaintiff’s tax agent and the sales account book were omitted from the sales revenue of this case and the necessary expenses of this case.

(3) Meanwhile, the Plaintiff managed all revenues and expenditures of the instant workplace through the Plaintiff’s business account.

(4) On January 3, 2012, the Defendant requested the Seoul regional tax office to deliberate on the extension of the scope of investigation and extension of the investigation period with respect to the Plaintiff. On February 3, 2012, the Seoul regional tax office’s investigation and examination committee approved the Plaintiff’s non-approval of the investigation of tax offense on the ground that: (a) with respect to non-issuance of tax invoices, the act is punished in accordance with the pertinent provision; and (b) with respect to the act of reducing the amount of cash income in accordance with the commercial practices, the act of reporting the reduction of the amount of cash income is difficult to be deemed an active act of concealing income

D. Determination

(1) As to the Plaintiff’s first argument

(A) In light of the regulatory system under Article 47-3 of the former Framework Act on National Taxes (amended by Act No. 911, Jan. 1, 2010; hereinafter the same), the language and content of Article 27(2) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on National Taxes (amended by Presidential Decree No. 22038, Feb. 18, 2010; hereinafter the same), and the legal nature of penalty taxes for underreporting, where Article 47-3(2) of the former Framework Act on National Taxes excessively conceals or disguises all or part of the fact that serves as the basis for calculating the tax base or the amount of national taxes, it is understood that the imposition and collection of taxes are impossible or considerably difficult, and thus, it is understood that the purpose of Article 27(1)2 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on National Taxes is to impose more penalty taxes than those for underreporting a return of the tax base, and thus, it is deemed that the purpose of Article 27(3)2 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act is to stipulate an unlawful underreporting method for tax evasion.

(2) As such, the Plaintiff’s act of intentionally and negligently reporting the sales of the account books, other than those entered in the actual transaction situation, constitutes an act that makes it impossible or considerably difficult to impose and collect taxes (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 89Do283, Sept. 26, 1989; 2002Do2596, Sept. 24, 2002). As such, the Plaintiff’s act of not issuing tax invoices intentionally omitted the sales of the account books at the time of filing the tax return for the following reasons: (a) it is reasonable to view that the Plaintiff’s act of not issuing tax invoices to the other party to the transaction constitutes an act of falsely omitting the tax invoices or making it considerably difficult to impose and collect taxes; and (b) the Plaintiff’s act of not issuing tax invoices at the time of filing the tax return; and (b) the Plaintiff’s act of not issuing tax invoices at the time of filing the tax return by means of a false entry of the account books, such as fraud or other unlawful act.

(2) As to the second argument by the Plaintiff

In general, in order to apply the principle of trust and good faith to the tax authority's acts in tax law relations, the tax authority must issue a public opinion list that is the object of trust to the taxpayer, and the taxpayer has no reason for the taxpayer to believe that the tax authority's opinion list is justifiable, and the taxpayer must act in trust and what is, and the tax authority's disposition against the opinion list should bring about a violation of the taxpayer's interest (see Supreme Court Decision 2001Du9103, Nov. 26, 2002). As alleged by the plaintiff, the Seoul regional tax office has notified the Seoul regional tax office of non-approval of the tax offense investigation into the plaintiff, and the defendant applied the general under-reported penalty tax against the plaintiff, the reason why the defendant issued a public opinion list that is the object of trust to the plaintiff, or that the plaintiff has no reason for the plaintiff to believe that the name of the defendant's opinion is justifiable (in this case, the plaintiff's act in this part is not reasonable).

(3) Sub-decisions

Therefore, the instant disposition is lawful.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
