Title

Facts without any dispute, Gap's 1 through 6 (including paper numbers), Eul's 1 through 10, and 12 through 20 (including paper numbers), the purport of the whole pleadings.

D. Determination

(1) As to the business income

(A) Whether the income from the transfer of real estate is business income or capital gains under the Income Tax Act shall be determined according to social norms by taking into account the transferor’s acquisition and holding status of real estate, creation, existence of transfer, size and frequency of transfer, mode, other party, etc., as well as the continuity and repetition of business activities to determine whether the transfer aims at profit. In making such determination, not only the transfer of real estate concerned but also the transfer of real estate owned by the transferor should take into account all the circumstances before and after the time when the transfer took place throughout the entire real estate owned by the transferor (see Supreme Court Decision 2008Du21768, Jul. 22, 2010).

(B) It is recognized that the Plaintiff had been in possession of the land 1 for about seven years from 197 to June 21, 2004, for about 20 years from 197 to April 26, 2007, for the first and second lands located within the restricted protection area within 25 km of the Military Demarcation Line, and that the Plaintiff had been in possession of the land 1 for about 7 years from 1997 to 204, for the purpose of sale and purchase of the land 200, for which the Plaintiff had been in possession of the land 472-1 and 200, for the purpose of sale and purchase of the land 100 to 400, for the purpose of sale and sale of the land 197 to 250, for which the Plaintiff had been in possession of the land 47, including the land 47,000 square meters of the land 20, for the purpose of sale and sale of the land 197 to 35,07, etc.

Since it is reasonable to see that it was conducted as part of business activities, the plaintiff's above assertion is without merit.

(2) As to the violation of the substance over form principle

Article 14 of the Framework Act on National Taxes intends to impose a tax burden on a person who actually reverts, not a person who actually reverts income, so the ownership of income shall not be determined by the formal business name or legal relationship, but by the relationship of attribution of profits arising from actual business activities: Provided, That the burden of proving that there is a separate person who actually reverts income, not an external name, exists in the name of the nominal owner (see Supreme Court Decision 86Nu635, Oct. 28, 1987).

In light of the following facts: (a) the Plaintiff acquired and transferred the instant land No. I and II under his name; (b) the director of the Seoul Regional Tax Office: (c) the director of the Seoul Regional Tax Office: (a) reported that the Plaintiff evaded the Plaintiff’s comprehensive income tax by planning, leading, and implementing the tax evasion; and (d) filed a complaint against the Plaintiff and Kim J; and (b) the Plaintiff and Kim J did not deem the taxpayer to be Kim J; (b) the evidence submitted by the Plaintiff alone is insufficient to recognize that the actual nominal owner is Kim J; and (c) there is no other evidence to recognize otherwise; (d) the income from the sale and purchase of land Nos. 1 and 2

(3) Regarding the necessary deduction of loan interest as necessary expenses

(A) The land used for sale by a real estate sales businessman is not used for a company's business and is classified as inventory assets, which are possessed for sale or production in the normal course of business (see Supreme Court Decision 95Nu16950, Jul. 25, 1997). In a case where the calculation of global income tax on a real estate sales businessman is based on the global income tax system, the land and buildings used for sale by the real estate sales businessman do not constitute fixed assets for business, and is excluded from the calculation of interest of construction funds under Article 33 subparagraph 10 of the Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 9897, Dec. 31, 2009); Article 75 (1) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 22034, Feb. 18, 2010). Thus, even if the interest paid on loans required for the purchase and construction of the land, etc. was finalized after the date of completion of the construction or building construction, it should be deducted from the sales price (see Supreme Court Decision 2003Du414.

(B) In light of the following: (a) the instant case is not only inconsistent with the health stand, (b) the amount accounted for more than the actual acquisition value, but also the interest on loans (OOOO) claimed by the Plaintiff; (b) the Plaintiff reported the business income by including the total amount of interest on loans from 2003 to 2006 in the necessary expenses; (c) the five land was made double sales contract without the seller’s consent; and (d) the date and time of loan differs from the acquisition date of land No. 3, 4, and 5, it cannot be deemed that the interest on loans claimed by the Plaintiff related to the purchase of land No. 3, 4, and 5. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s above assertion is without merit.

3. Conclusion

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