Reasons

1. Details of the disposition;

A. On November 2, 2002, the director of the Daejeon Regional Tax Office confirmed that ○○○○○○ (hereinafter referred to as “○○○○”) acquired shares of 34,200 shares (hereinafter referred to as “instant shares”) of the Plaintiffs, which were existing shareholders, at the time of issuing new shares on November 2, 2002 (hereinafter referred to as “instant shares”) to acquire 20,00 won per share of 20,00 shares (hereinafter referred to as “instant shares”) and notified the Defendant that ○○○ (hereinafter referred to as “○○”) acquired shares of 33,750 shares, Plaintiff U20 shares, 450 shares, and 5,00 shares at a face value (hereinafter referred to as “instant shares”) were equivalent to 0,00 won per share, thereby notifying the Defendant of the taxation data under the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Act No. 6780, Dec. 18, 2002; hereinafter referred to as “instant shares”).

B. According to the above notification, the Defendant deemed that the Plaintiffs received 471,754800 won from ○○○○, and thus, on May 6, 2005, the Defendant imposed 869,020 won for the gift tax of KRW 116,353,300 for the gift tax of KRW 465,547,50 on November 2, 2002, and the gift tax of KRW 116,353,300 for the gift tax of KRW 6,207,30 for the gift tax of KRW 6,207,30 for the gift tax of KRW 869,02 on the Plaintiff U2○○ on November 2, 200 (hereinafter “instant disposition”).

C. On the other hand, on February 13, 2007, the Defendant changed the ground for the instant disposition into Article 39(1)2(c) of the Act, Article 29(3)2(a) of the Enforcement Decree, and Article 29(3)3 of the Enforcement Decree (hereinafter “Enforcement Decree of the instant case”).

(In fact that there is no dispute, Gap 1, 2, Eul 1 through 3 (including more than one number), the purport of the whole pleadings.

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiffs' assertion

(1) The issue price of the instant shares is the value calculated by fully taking into account the outlook of the remote medical business at the time, the case of capital increase in the remote medical business, the interests of ○○○○ and ○○ shareholders, who are other major shareholders of ○○○○○, and other factors, and cannot be deemed to have been issued higher than the market price, and thus, cannot be deemed to have been issued at a higher level than the market price under the general and normal transaction, and thus the instant disposition is unlawful.

(2) Although Article 29(3)5 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act provides that, although Article 39(1) and 2(c) of the Act provides for the benefit of the Plaintiffs subject to taxation, the former shareholder who renounced the subscription of new shares is obliged to acquire new shares on the premise that the existing shareholder has a duty to acquire the new shares, the economic benefit that would be exempted from the loss incurred when the existing shareholder acquired the new shares is subject to taxation, and the tax base is expanded by treating the portion exceeding the direct benefit arising from the waiver of the subscription of new shares as the object of taxation. Thus, it is invalid because it deviates

Therefore, the disposition of this case, which is based on the provision of the Enforcement Decree of this case which is null and void, is unlawful (However, although the defendant changed the grounds for disposition, the plaintiffs did not separately assert the invalidity of the provision of the grounds for disposition after changing the grounds for disposition, it shall be deemed to have been asserted in the same ordinary plane as the grounds for disposition after changing the validity by using the previous claim against the defendant at the third day of pleading of this case

(3) The Plaintiffs invested KRW 965,00,000 in ○○○ (○○○○○) as a provisional or short-term loan. Among them, only KRW 696,00,000 could have been recovered, and even if the remaining amount was considered to have incurred investment losses, applying the provision on deemed donation without considering such circumstances is in violation of the substantial taxation principle.

(b) Related statutes;

It is as shown in the attached Form.

(c) Fact of recognition;

(1) At the time of issuing new shares, ○○○○○’s representative director (Resignation on July 29, 2003) at the time of issuing new shares, and the Plaintiff U2○ was the Plaintiff’s spouse, who was the ○○○○○’s auditor.

(2) There was no case where ○○ stocks were sold or appraised within 3 months before or after the date of the instant similar certificate.

(3) Five existing shareholders, including the Plaintiffs, renounced the subscription of new shares at the time of the instant subscription for new shares, and ○○ acquired KRW 45,000 per share that the said existing shareholders renounced.

Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1, 2, Eul evidence 1 through 3 (including more than one number), the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

(1) Determination on the stock value before and after the capital increase

According to the above evidence and relevant laws and regulations, the value per share of ○○○○ stocks prior to the capital increase is zero won, and the value per share after the capital increase is 6,206, and each statement on the evidence of 3 through 12 (including the above number) is difficult to view that the value per share of ○○○’s acquisition value per share falls under the market price. Thus, this part of the allegation is without merit.

(2) Determination as to the invalidity of the enforcement decree of this case

(A) Determination as to the assertion of inconsistency with profit and loss

Where a corporation issues new stocks or shares (hereafter referred to as "new stocks" in this Article) at a price higher than the market price of the new stocks in order to increase its capital, the legal provision of this case provides that where a shareholder of the relevant corporation waives all or part of the right to receive new stocks, and allocates forfeited stocks, the amount equivalent to the "interest acquired by the person who renounced the new stocks in a special relationship with him/her by accepting the right to receive the new stocks shall be deemed to have been donated."

However, according to the provision of the Enforcement Decree of this case, since the provision of this case provides that the value of the new shares is 3,750 shares per stock (i.e., the value of the new shares issued before the increase) before the increase in the capital / [the total value of the new shares issued before the increase in X 1 + (the number of shares increased by the increase in X 1 shares) ± (i.e., the value of the new shares issued before the increase in the increase in the capital + the number of shares increased by the increase in the total number of new shares before the increase in the capital / (6,206) before the increase in the total number of shares issued by the shareholders who renounced the increase in the capital / (3,750 shares in this case, 45,00 shares in this case) before the increase in the total number of shares issued by the shareholders who renounced the increase in the capital / (400 shares in this case) before the increase in the value of the new shares issued by the shareholders /

Therefore, the value obtained by subtracting the value of Article 29(3)3 (b) of the Enforcement Decree from the value of new shares under Article 29(3)3 (a) of the same Enforcement Decree is the value obtained by subtracting the value of one share after the increase of the new shares from the value of acquisition of the new shares. The economic meaning of such value is the amount of loss incurred by the acquisition of one share under the premise that all new shares are acquired either by anyone or by another group. Therefore, if the number of forfeited shares is multiplied by the number of forfeited shares of the shareholders who renounced the subscription of new shares, the economic meaning of such value is clear that the “economic loss” value refers to the value that a shareholder who renounced the subscription of new shares is relieved by the waiver of the subscription of the new shares. The value obtained by dividing the number of forfeited shares by the number of forfeited shares to the total number of forfeited shares is the economic profit that a shareholder who renounced the subscription ( how to grasp it is a separate issue) which refers to the portion of contribution made by the forfeited shareholders to the forfeited shareholders.

According to such analysis, the provision of the Enforcement Decree of this case is understood to be "loss that a shareholder who renounced the acceptance of new shares was donated to a shareholder who renounced the acceptance of new shares from a special party in the case of high-priced issuance" as "loss that a shareholder who renounced the acceptance of new shares sustained".

However, as in the instant case, the number of new shares was not owned by the company included in the total number of shares issued (i.e., 00 won) and all existing shareholders have renounced the acquisition of new shares and acquired them by a third party (i.e., losses incurred by the shareholders who have renounced the acquisition of new shares due to an elevated value of the new shares) and losses incurred by the purchaser of new shares by acquiring existing shares (i.e., e., 00 won if the issuing company owns its own shares or partially acquired forfeited shares) are equal to the losses incurred by the purchaser of the existing shares (i., e., 60 won, 60 won and 60 won and 60 won and 60 won and 60 won and 60 won and 60 won and 60 won and 60 won and 40 won and 60 won and 60 won and 60 won and 60 won and 600 won and 60 won and 600 won and 750 won and 600 won and -606 won and -206 won and -206 won and -36060 won and won and value of the value of the Plaintiffs calculated pursuant to the above facts.

Therefore, even though the provision of the Enforcement Decree of this case focuses on the same value as the gift amount subject to taxation, even though the loss incurred in the case where the shareholder, who is the preemptive right holder, acquired new shares, was aware of the acquisition of new shares, which is conceptually different in terms of the concept, and thus, the provision of the Enforcement Decree of this case cannot be deemed null and void only for such reasons as in this case.

(B) Determination as to the assertion of taxation on benefits not directly related to the waiver of new shares

However, based on the above discussions, the economic loss of ○○○○○○○ upon the Plaintiffs’ waiver of new shares can be deemed to have occurred from the acquisition of 45,00 shares. Of these profits, ○○○○○○’s profit derived from the waiver of the Plaintiffs’ acceptance of new shares and the acquisition of the new shares by ○○○○○○ constitutes 349,087,498 won (i.e., 465,450,000 won X 33,750,750 won and less than KRW 460,500). From the perspective of the above, ○○○○○○○○○○○○○’s profit, 60,600 won and 606, 606, 606, 4605, 606, 606, 4605, 605, 606, 4605, 605, 606, 4605, 6060

On the other hand, the provision of the Enforcement Decree of this case provides that the shareholder who is the preemptive right holder, not only the direct profit accrued from the waiver of the subscription for new shares, who has acquired new shares, shall be bound to pay the full loss resulting from the acceptance of new shares as the gift amount subject to taxation.

Furthermore, according to the legal provisions of this case, where a shareholder of the pertinent corporation waives all or part of the right to receive allocation of new shares in the case of high-priced issuance of new shares, and where the forfeited shares are allocated, the relevant person who received allocation of forfeited shares shall be deemed to have received the amount equivalent to the benefits acquired by the person who renounced the forfeited shares. Thus, the benefits acquired by the person who renounced the new shares shall be deemed to have been acquired by accepting the forfeited shares, and the said legal provisions are not limited to the direct benefits accrued from the waiver of the subscription of new shares.

In the end, the corporation issued new shares at a price higher than the market price, and the shareholder of the corporation given up the right to receive the new shares, and allocated forfeited shares to the person who given up the right to receive the new shares. If the forfeited shares are acquired at the higher price by the person who given up the new shares, property gains equivalent to the economic losses issued by the person who acquired the forfeited shares will be transferred to the person who given up the new shares as they are (except where a part of the loss is transferred to the issuer who is not the person who given up the new shares, as in this case, on the premise that the profits and losses are the same as in this case). As above, there are parts other than the portion directly contributed by the person who given up the new shares, but this is deemed to be a donation under special provisions in the law, and even if it is imposed on the person who given up the new shares, it is difficult to see that it is unfair to impose the profits already issued in light of the system

Therefore, this part of the argument, which is written on different premise, is not reasonable.

(3) The assertion that the substance over form principle is violated

Although the plaintiffs asserted that the disposition of this case violates the substance over form principle, the disposition of this case cannot be deemed to violate the substance over form principle solely on the grounds alleged above by the plaintiffs (the legal provision of this case aims to regulate the acts of compensating for losses or giving profits by making the plaintiffs acquire the new shares of a company with a special relationship, such as the plaintiffs, at a higher price, and this part of the allegation is without merit.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the disposition of this case is legitimate, and each of the plaintiffs' claims is without merit, and it is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition.
