1. Details of taxation; and

The following facts do not conflict between the parties, or if they gather the purport of the whole pleadings in the entries in Gap evidence 1-2, Gap evidence 2-7, Eul evidence 1-2-2, Eul evidence 2-5, Eul evidence 3-9, and Eul evidence 3 through 9, they can be acknowledged, and there is no other counter-proof.

D. On December 5, 2005, the head of the ○○○○○○ Tax Office, as indicated in the item on the inheritance tax invoice, shall calculate the total amount of tax imposed at KRW 1,777,439,98 as the value of donated property for which the co-inheritors, such as the Plaintiff, etc. omitted the return as described in the preceding paragraph, as indicated in the item on the inheritance tax invoice: KRW 819,977,853 (amount omitted in filing a return by the Plaintiff) + KRW 217,293,440 (amount omitted in filing a return by the Plaintiff) + KRW 740,168,705 (amount omitted in filing a return by the South ○○○○) calculated the taxable amount of inheritance taxes; KRW 5,807,843,711; KRW 1,484,973,211, the total amount of tax imposed at KRW 468,737,218 (amount deducted from the tax amount to be paid); and KRW 3687,737,737,7.737

E. On the other hand, on December 15, 2005, the head of the Defendant ○○○○○ Tax Office rendered a decision to calculate each gift tax and impose the gift tax equivalent to the amount of each gift tax (hereinafter “instant gift tax disposition”) as stated in the total determined tax amount column on the gift amount of KRW 819,97,853, which failed to file a return, as seen earlier, on the Plaintiff, and at that time notified the Plaintiff thereof.

2. Whether the pertinent disposition of inheritance tax and gift tax is legitimate

A. The parties' assertion

The Defendants asserted that the instant inheritance tax and gift tax assessment are lawful in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

For this reason, the Plaintiff asserts that the portion exceeding the amount stated in the column of tax amount and the calculation statement of gift tax in the instant inheritance tax and gift tax should be revoked as unlawful for the following reasons.

(1) The Defendants acknowledged that the Plaintiff received total of KRW 819,977,853 from South ○○, as indicated in the specification of the gift value as seen earlier, as a full donation.

(2) However, among the total amount of KRW 819,977,853 remitted to the Plaintiff by South ○○, the sum of KRW 300,000,000 on April 7, 2004 and KRW 455,031,750 on September 7, 2004 (hereinafter “instant deposit”) was deposited in the name of South ○○○, but the actual amount of the Plaintiff’s deposit was 45,031,750 on the account of operation with South ○○. However, the amount of KRW 455,031,750 on the account of the Plaintiff’s share (one-half share) was 27,515,875 on the account of the Plaintiff’s inherent property and not the property donated to the Plaintiff from South ○○○○. Nevertheless, the Defendants imposed KRW 45,031,750 on the Plaintiff under the premise that the Plaintiff’s inherent shares of KRW 275,2751,7575 on the Plaintiff’s inherent shares.

(b) Fact of recognition;

The following facts are not disputed between the parties, or if Gap evidence Nos. 7 through 10, 13, 14, 15, and 16-1, 2, Gap evidence Nos. 17, 18, and Gap evidence Nos. 19-1 through 8, and Eul evidence Nos. 5 through 9, and the whole purport of the pleadings is collected, these facts can be acknowledged. The entries of evidence Nos. 11 and 12 are insufficient to reverse the above recognition, and there are no other objections.

(1) On February 23, 1952, the Plaintiff obtained a medical license on December 10, 1952, and married with ○○○○ Child, and opened '○○○ Child’ on October 17, 1958, and operated the hospital from that time. However, from April 1, 1953 to March 15, 198, ○○ University’s college as a professor and retired from office on February 18, 1976, and newly opened '○○○ Child’ on April 3 of that year. The Plaintiff discontinued '○○○ Child’ that was opened under its name, and the Plaintiff discontinued '○○○ Child’ from September 15, 1986 to 15, 196 to 100’.

(2) Meanwhile, from March 1, 1987 to February 28, 1991, ○○○○ University operated '○○○ Child’ as well as '○○○○ Child’ as a photographic instructor at ○ University’s medical school. The Plaintiff treated patients entirely in cases where ○○○ University gives lectures to the university.

(3) On December 30, 1974, the Plaintiff acquired a site of ○○○-dong, ○○○○○-dong, ○○○○○○-dong, and a building on its ground under its name 312.4 square meters and 815.37 square meters, and used it as “○○○○-dong, ○○○○-dong, ○○○-dong, ○○○-dong, ○○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○○-dong, ○○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○-dong, ○○-dong, and had another ○-dong, a real estate rental business operator from October 27, 202 to donate the building site and had another ○-dong and its operation.

(4) From October 22, 2002 to September 20, 2004, the Plaintiff either paid 316,566,000 won or paid her gift tax on the hospital building remodeling construction cost to the South ○○ Hospital, which was deposited in its own name on seven occasions.

(5) On November 7, 2009, 199, ○○○○○○-○○-○○-15,750 won out of the sales amount was deposited 450,000 won in his/her bank account (○○-○-○○-15,50 won) under the name of the Plaintiff, and deposited 300,000 won out of the principal and interest of his/her bank in his/her bank account (○○-○-○-○○-○○-○○-15,50 won in his/her name). On July 2, 2003, 200, 200 won was deposited in ○○-15,500 won in his/her bank account (○○-15,500 won in his/her name) under the name of the Plaintiff’s bank account (○○-15,500 won in his/her name).

C. Determination

(1) The following circumstances that can be seen from the facts acknowledged under the preceding paragraph, i.e., ① the issue deposit is presumed to be the deposit of ○○ in the name of ○○ in the name of ○○○, and not only the account is presumed to be the deposit of ○○○ in the name of ○○○○, but also the proceeds from the sale of securities bonds sold on December 2, 2003 by ○○○○ in the name of ○○○○ and jointly with ○○○○ in the name of ○○○, but also operated ○○○○ in the name of ○○○○, but the Plaintiff acquired a considerable amount of real estate under ○○’s own or jointly with ○○○○ in the name of ○○○○, and ③ the inheritance tax and Gift Tax Act recognize a maximum amount of spouse deduction in consideration of the formation of common property among the married parties. Therefore, it is reasonable to view that the issue of deposit of ○○○ in the name of the Plaintiff by account transfer is the deposit of ○○○○○.

(2) Therefore, under the premise that ○○○ donated 455,031,750 won to the Plaintiff in full, the Defendants’ taxation of the instant inheritance tax and gift tax is lawful.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's respective claims of this case seeking revocation on the grounds that the inheritance tax and gift tax assessment of this case are illegal are dismissed in all of its grounds. It is so decided as per Disposition.
