(2) The Plaintiff received all documentary evidence through the instant transaction. Notwithstanding that the instant tax invoice is not a false tax invoice as seen earlier, the Defendant’s disposition of imposition of corporate tax in this case, which reported otherwise, was unlawful.

D. Determination

(1) The instant disposition imposing value-added tax and rejecting refund

Article 1(1)1 of the Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 8142, Dec. 30, 2006; hereinafter the same) provides that “the supply of goods shall be the delivery or transfer of goods on all contractual or legal grounds.” In light of the characteristics of value-added tax as multi-stage transaction tax, delivery or transfer under Article 6(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act includes all act of causing the transfer of the right to use or consume the goods, regardless of the existence of actual profits (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 85Nu286, Sep. 24, 1985; 9Du9247, Mar. 13, 2001; hereinafter the same). In such a case, whether a specific transaction in a series of transactions constitutes the supply of goods under the Value-Added Tax Act, shall be determined on the grounds of denial of the supply of the goods and the type and type of profit to which the tax invoice is imposed, as well as on the specific transaction basis of Article 2940.

The following facts revealed in the instant case: (i) the Plaintiff purchased gold bullion from the business partner of the instant case from June 18, 2003 to October 5, 2004; (ii) received tax invoices from the business partner of the instant case; and (iii) exported gold bullion to the foreign corporation located in Hong Kong by processing it in the state of gold bullion or 24 km and 22 km; (iv) some of its exports were less than the minimum international market price at the domestic market price or lower price than that at the time of the instant transaction; (iii) there was no value-added tax for part of the value-added tax purchased by the business partner of the instant case from June 18, 2003 to October 2, 2004; and (v) the Plaintiff did not receive any tax invoices from the sales partner of the instant case; and (v) the Plaintiff did not receive any tax exemption amount from the entire sales partner of the instant case.

Therefore, the Defendant’s disposition imposing value-added tax and refusal of refund, which did not deduct the input tax amount by deeming the instant tax invoice as a false tax invoice because the instant transaction was nominal transaction.

(2) The imposition disposition part of the corporate tax in this case

According to Articles 76(5) and 116(2)2 of the Corporate Tax Act (amended by Act No. 8141 of Dec. 30, 2006), the chief of the district tax office having jurisdiction over the place of tax payment shall collect as corporate tax an amount calculated by adding an amount equivalent to 2/100 of the unpaid amount in cases where a corporation provides goods to an entrepreneur in connection with its business and fails to receive a tax invoice under Article 16 of the Value-Added Tax Act. Article 16 of the Value-Added Tax Act provides that where an entrepreneur registered as a tax obligor supplies goods, he/she shall deliver a tax invoice stating the registration number and name or title of the entrepreneur who supplies the goods, the registration number, supply

As seen earlier, insofar as it cannot be concluded that the instant transaction is not a supply of goods subject to value-added tax, the instant tax invoice received therefrom is also difficult to conclude that the instant transaction is not a legitimate tax invoice under Article 16 of the Value-Added Tax Act, but does not constitute a supply of goods. Therefore, the Defendant’s disposition imposing corporate tax on the instant tax invoice premised on the premise that the instant tax invoice is a disguised tax invoice is illegal

(3) Sub-determination

Therefore, all of the defendant's disposition of this case is unlawful, and the plaintiff's assertion pointing this out is justified.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is reasonable, and it is so decided as per Disposition with the acceptance of all the claims.
