B. On September 3, 2012, the Plaintiff filed an application for reduction or exemption with the Defendant on the ground that “The acquisition of the instant hospital constitutes real estate used directly for educational projects as prescribed by Article 41(1) of the Restriction of Special Local Taxation Act (Amended by Act No. 11618, Jan. 1, 2013); acquisition tax of KRW 169,534,80; special rural development tax of KRW 12,109,630; local education tax of KRW 9,687,70.”

C. Accordingly, on September 5, 2012, the Defendant rejected the Plaintiff’s application for reduction or exemption of acquisition tax, etc. (hereinafter “instant disposition”) on the ground that “The instant hospital is registered in the Plaintiff’s articles of incorporation as basic property for profit-making purposes, and it does not constitute real estate directly used for educational business since no medical college exists.”

The Plaintiff appealed and filed a request for review on September 11, 2012, but was dismissed by the Board of Audit and Inspection on February 6, 2014.
