Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

1. Regarding ground of appeal No. 1

The court below acknowledged the facts as stated in its reasoning based on employment evidence, and found that ○○○○○○○○’s shares were acquired from ○○○○○○ Mutual Savings Depository (hereinafter “○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Mutual Savings Depository”) (hereinafter “○○○○○○○○○”) in accordance with the proposal of ○○○○-2, a major shareholder of ○○○○○○○ Mutual Savings Depository (hereinafter “○○○○○○○○”) as follows. ② ○○○○○○’s shares were not money to acquire ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○’s shares, and 40 million won was the only amount paid as ○○○○○○○’s shares, and ○○○○○○○’s shares were in custody without having been issued the share certificates of ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○’s shares, and ○○○○’s shares were in effect subject to imposition of ○○○○○○○○○’s shares.

In light of the records, the court below decided to the effect that the above ○○○○’s shares were actually acquired by ○○○○○’s shares, but the court below also recognized that ○○○○’s shares were acquired by 3,500 won per share from ○○○○○’s shares in the name of the plaintiff, etc. (the fourth page of the judgment of the court below). In light of the above, the court below did not deny the fact that ○○○’s shares were acquired by ○○○○○○○’s shares, but rather did not have a position to exercise a substantial right over 51/10 or more of the total number of shares issued by ○○○○○○’s shares or total shares invested by ○○○○○○○’s shares, and so long as it appears that ○○○ was a position to exercise a certain influence over ○○○○’s shares in the internal relationship with ○○○○, as alleged in the ground for appeal or the ground for appeal.

However, Article 39(1)2 Item (a) of the former Framework Act on National Taxes (amended by Act No. 7008 of Dec. 30, 2003) and Article 22 Subparag. 2 Item (a) of the former Local Tax Act (amended by Act No. 8147 of Dec. 30, 2006) do not necessarily require the actual exercise of shareholders' rights, but it should be deemed that the exercise of shareholders' rights to the shares held as of the date on which a national tax liability is established is satisfied (see Supreme Court Decisions 2001Du5354, Jul. 8, 2003; 2003Du8418, Oct. 15, 2004; 2003Du8418, Oct. 15, 2004). The part of the grounds of appeal that ○○’s acquisition of shares by a person who takes office as the representative director of the ○○○ National Tax Act by mistake did not affect the right.

2. Regarding ground of appeal No. 2

The legislative intent of Article 41-2(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Act No. 6780, Dec. 18, 2002; hereinafter referred to as the "former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act") is to recognize an exception to the principle of substantial taxation with the purport that the act of tax avoidance using the title trust system is effectively prevented and realize the tax justice (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2003Du13649, Dec. 23, 2004). If the title trust is recognized to have been made for reasons other than the purpose of tax avoidance and it is merely a minor reduction incidental to the said title trust, it cannot be deemed that there was "the purpose of tax avoidance stipulated in the proviso of the same Article in the said title trust," and the burden of proving that there was no purpose of tax avoidance in the title trust is against the nominal person who asserts it (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2004Du7333, May 12, 2006).

Article 10-2(3)2 of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act (amended by Act No. 6992 of Dec. 11, 2003) provides that where a person acquires stocks of a mutual savings bank in excess of 10% for the purpose of preventing financial accidents by major shareholders and for the sound operation of mutual savings banks through the prevention of financial accidents by major shareholders, he/she shall report the fact to the Financial Supervisory Commission within 10 days, as determined by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and where a person violates this provision, he/she shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 6 months under Article 39(4)1 of the same Act or by a fine not exceeding 5 million won, and Article 5-3(1) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Business Supervision Act (amended by Act No. 6992 of Apr. 27, 2001) and Article 6-2 of the former Rules on the Control of Mutual Savings Banks (amended by Act No. 6992 of Jan. 31, 2002) shall make a report on the acquisition of stocks.

In addition, according to the facts acknowledged by the court below, although ○○○○○○○○’s shares were acquired by 950,000 shares of 88.7% of the total number of shares issued by ○○○○○○○○○○○○○, it was impossible or considerably difficult for the Financial Supervisory Commission to acquire all of the shares under its name because it was difficult to clarify the details and plan for the acquisition of the shares, and it was so difficult for ○○○○○○○○ to acquire all of the shares under its own name. Such ○○○○ to avoid the obligation to report the acquisition of shares, the transfer of shares is completed in its name only for 118,00 shares below 10% of the total number of shares issued by ○○○○○○○○○○○○○’s shares, and the remaining shares were divided in quantity equal to 2.3% to 9.83%

Examining the above circumstances in light of the legal principles as seen earlier, it is reasonable to view that, as a means of Ma○○○○○○’s shares purchased from ○○○○○○○○○○ through the reporting system of acquisition of shares under the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, the said shares were made in title trust with the Plaintiff, etc. for the purpose of evading the duty to report the acquisition of the shares, and it was inevitable to deem that there was no purpose of tax avoidance with the Plaintiff, etc. at the time of the said title trust. Furthermore, the circumstances cited in the grounds of appeal are merely the following: (a) there is a remote possibility that the future tax reduction may result in; or (b) there is a minor reduction

In the same purport, the court below is just in holding that the imposition of the gift tax of this case was unlawful on the ground that there was no tax avoidance purpose in the title trust of the shares of ○○ Fund with the plaintiff, etc., and there is no violation of the rules of evidence or misunderstanding of legal principles as to the interpretation of

3. As to the third ground for appeal

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below did not err in the misapprehension of legal principles as to whether a purchaser of ○○ safe stocks from ○○○○○○, but did not recognize the purchaser as the largest head of ○○. Thus, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, the court below did not err in failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations as to whether there was a tax avoidance purpose against ○○○○○, or in

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.

Text

1. Revocation of a judgment of the first instance;

2. The defendant's disposition of imposition of gift tax of KRW 544,047,840 against the plaintiff on February 7, 2005 shall be revoked.

2. All costs of the lawsuit shall be borne by the defendant.

Purport of claim and appeal

The text of the gift tax is as follows (the "Gift 544,047,040 won" seems to be a clerical error in the "Gift 544,047,840 won".

Reasons

1. Details of the disposition;

A. From July 2, 2004 to August 26, 2004, the commissioner of the regional tax office found the fact that the representative director of the OF acquired and held 90,000 shares of the OF under the name of the plaintiff on December 8, 2001 (hereinafter referred to as the "the shares of this case") and notified the defendant as taxation data.

B. Accordingly, the defendant applied Article 41-2 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Act No. 6780, Dec. 18, 2002; hereinafter referred to as the "the Act") on Feb. 7, 2005, "the deemed donation of the title trust property" to "the plaintiff deemed the shares of this case to have been donated from OO", and the price per share of the shares of this case is determined and notified as 11,623 won in accordance with Article 54 (2) and Article 55 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 17828, Dec. 30, 2002; hereinafter the same) and Article 63 (1) 1(c) of the Act, which is the provision on the evaluation of the price of unlisted shares, and then the plaintiff determined and notified the gift tax of 54,047,840 won (including additional tax) to the plaintiff (hereinafter referred to as "the disposition of this case").

C. The plaintiff appealed and filed a request for examination with the Commissioner of the National Tax Service on May 3, 2005, but the Commissioner of the National Tax Service dismissed the plaintiff's request on June 8, 2005.

(In fact that there is no dispute, Gap's 5, 8, Eul's 1, Eul's 6-1, 2, Eul's 16-1 through 6, and the purport of the whole pleadings.

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The Plaintiff asserts that the instant disposition is unlawful on the following grounds.

(1) The Plaintiff asked that the OOO, a former employee, takes office as the representative director of the OO’s association, and then register the Plaintiff as a non-standing director of the OO’s association. As such, the Plaintiff accepted it and issued the Plaintiff’s resident registration certificate and a certificate of seal impression to the OO. As such, the OO arbitrarily puts the instant shares under the Plaintiff’s name by stealing the Plaintiff’s name.

(2) In a case where an OO acquired shares of a mutual savings bank in excess of 10% of the total number of its issued voting shares, it borrowed 950,000 shares that are acquired by the OOO to the Financial Supervisory Commission in accordance with the relevant regulations, such as the Mutual Savings Banks Act, and distributed and acquired them in the name of 10 persons, including the Plaintiff, in order to avoid the issue of having to report it to the Financial Supervisory Commission and prove the source of the investment. Thus, there was no intention to seek tax avoidance through the title trust of the instant shares. Furthermore, the Plaintiff did not have any awareness as to the fact that it only lent its name at the request of the OOO, and that there was

(3) Although an OO acquired the instant stocks in KRW 3,50 per share, the Defendant erred by evaluating the price per share as KRW 11,623, and even if it assessed the stocks of an OO safe in accordance with the supplementary assessment methods for the stocks of an unlisted corporation as stipulated in the OO’s Act, the Defendant assessed the net asset value and fell under “the amount determined as costs as of the base date of appraisal as stipulated in the Act, the Enforcement Decree thereof, and the Enforcement Rule thereof,” and thus deducted it from the liability.

(b) Related statutes;

It is as shown in the attached Table related statutes.

C. Determination

(1) Whether the identity theft was committed

(A) Facts of recognition

1) On August 20, 2001, the OO acquired 115,00 shares of the OO safe (9.6% of the share ratio) in its name, and held office as the representative director of the OO safe on September 17, 2001. < Amended by Presidential Decree No. 17318, Sep. 17, 2001>

2) The OO decided to acquire shares of 950,000 shares (79.1% of shares) from OOO (hereinafter “OOO”) that is a major shareholder of the OO depository, in addition to KRW 3,500 per share. When one shareholder exceeds 10/100 of the total number of outstanding voting shares of a mutual savings bank, it shall be reported to the Financial Supervisory Commission (amended by Act No. 6992 of Dec. 11, 2003), and when reporting the acquisition of shares, it shall prove the details of the funding of the required funds (see Article 6-2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Mutual Savings Bank Business Supervision Regulations) to be subject to the provision that shall not be subject to the application of Article 6-2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Mutual Savings Bank Business Supervision (see Article 6-2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Mutual Savings Bank Business Supervision) and distributed shares to less than 10%, and acquired shares in the name of the Plaintiff and other 10 persons, who were known in Pyeongtaek as listed below.

3) Around July 2002, the Financial Supervisory Service conducted an investigation into the acquisition of the OO’s shares while auditing the OO’s shares. On July 12, 2002, the OO prepared and submitted a statement of acquisition of shares to the Financial Supervisory Service by seeking five (5) borrowed shareholders, including the Plaintiff, including the Plaintiff, who reported the acquisition of the 450,000 shares on December 8, 201 by seeking the acquisition of the OO’s shares in the name of five (5) persons, including the OOO, in order to distribute and acquire shares, there is no supporting document, but there is no evidence to prove that the O acquired shares by 10% or more of the shares shares ratio in the Financial Supervisory Service.

4) On the other hand, as to the part of the shares transferred by OOO as above, the OO (representative representative director of OO), OO, and the plaintiff filed a complaint of breach of trust on May 2002, 202. On June 26, 2002, the plaintiff stated that "OOO will offer the shares of OOO depository in the name of the plaintiff around June 26, 2001, and that "OO will offer the plaintiff's resident registration certificate and certificate of personal seal to the plaintiff, and the plaintiff accepted it and delivered the above documents to OO". On November 11, 2002, OO also stated that "OO will not separately request the holders of shares including the plaintiff (hereinafter referred to as "the plaintiff et al.") including the plaintiff, etc. to consent to the name of the plaintiff."

5) On July 7, 2004, an OO orOO, a public official in charge of the OO regional tax office, investigated the process of acquiring the instant shares against the Plaintiff. After completion of the investigation, OOO requested that the Plaintiff enter the shares of OOO depository in the Plaintiff’s name for three to four years prior to the date of the investigation. As such, the Plaintiff prepared a written confirmation under the Plaintiff’s name (No. 3) stating that the Plaintiff consented and issued a certified copy of the resident registration and a certificate of seal impression, the Plaintiff confirmed that it was and signed on the last part.

6) However, on August 5, 2004, the plaintiff et al. submitted to the commissioner of the regional tax office a petition stating that "OOO acquired the shares of this case under the name of the plaintiff et al. using a certificate of personal seal impression issued by the plaintiff et al. for the plaintiff et al. to forge the seals of the plaintiff et al. and appoint directors of the OO depository." On September 15, 2004, the plaintiff et al. filed a complaint against OO as a crime of forging or uttering private documents. As OO made a confession on November 27, 2001, "OO forged or uses the sales contract of this case under the name of the plaintiff et al. on November 27, 2001," and the order was finalized at that time.

The testimony and the purport of the whole pleadings of Gap evidence, Gap evidence 2, Eul evidence 10-2, Gap evidence 12-4,7,8-2, Gap evidence 14-2, Eul evidence 14-2, Eul evidence 5, 7, 8-1 through 3-3, Eul evidence 9-1 through Eul evidence, part of the OO of the first instance court, the testimony of the OO of the witness of the first instance court and the O of the witness of the first instance court and the O of the witness of the first instance court, and the purport of the whole pleadings.

(B) Determination

1) The main sentence of Article 41-2(1) of the Act can not be applied where the registration, etc. has been made unilaterally regardless of the intention of the nominal owner. However, if such registration has been made unilaterally by the actual owner regardless of the intention of the nominal owner, it shall be proved by the party asserting it (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 88Nu27, Oct. 11, 1988).

2) On November 27, 2001, 201, OO was issued a summary order of KRW 3,00,00 for the reason that it used the Plaintiff’s name without permission to use the Plaintiff’s share sales contract for the instant shares, as seen earlier. The facts acknowledged as the crime of criminal judgment with respect to the same facts are valuable evidence, and it cannot be acknowledged that it is difficult to adopt a factual judgment in light of other evidence submitted in other trials (see Supreme Court Decision 96Da9621, May 28, 196). On the other hand, it is difficult to view that it was difficult forO to use the Plaintiff’s share under the name of 3rd witness to use the same fact without permission to use the Plaintiff’s share, and it is not likely thatO acquired the Plaintiff’s share under the name of 3rd witness’s own name during the investigation process, prior to the issue of imposition of gift tax on the instant shares, and it is also difficult forO to use the same evidence as the Plaintiff’s criminal fact that it acquired the Plaintiff’s share under its name.

(2) Whether the purpose of tax avoidance exists

(A) Facts of recognition

1. The process of acquisition of the instant shares of the OO and the appointment of the representative director

① An O safe issued 1.2 million shares, and around July 2001, the prior to the acquisition of the shares, the OO owned 20,065,00 shares (8.75%) with the exception of 135,00 shares, including 135,00 shares, including OO 95,00 shares, and OO 20,00 shares.

② OO was a company acquired through joint investment by OO and OO, and O was also under the control of OO's management while operating OO in collaboration with OO.

③ On the other hand, while serving as a company in the Korea Fire Insurance Co., Ltd., the OO was aware of the 115,000 shares out of the shares of the above OO's shares, which were owned by the OOOO in place of repayment of KRW 100,000,00 among the shares of the OO's shares, which were owned by the OOOO in place of repayment of KRW 100,000,00.

④ When there is a dispute over the shares held by an OO or an O depository and the amount of bonds and obligations mutually held by an OO or between them, and it is difficult to manage it in mind because there is a conflict of opinion about the management of the OO depository, the OO was in fact in around August 2001, and the ownership of the O depository was in fact known to it, which was the representative director of the O depository at the time of transfer to the OO, and the O depository acquired all shares of the O depository, including 115,000 shares of the O depository at the time of transfer to the OO, in the name of the O depository, and requested the management thereof by taking office as the representative director of the O depository at the time, and the above representative director of theO and the O depository recommended the O to sell the shares of theO to the O depository to resolve the shortage of funds of theO.

⑤ Accordingly, around August 18, 2001, the OO entered into a first oral sales contract with the OO on 400,000 shares of an OO safe owned by the OOO. Around that time, the OO received KRW 400 million from the OO and paid it to the OO as the down payment, etc. for the said sales contract.

(6) After that, as the financial situation of the OOO was urgent, the OOO did not enter into a regular sales contract due to the evaluation of the price of stocks, etc., the OOO entered into a sales contract on November 27, 2001 by evaluating 3,500 won per share for 615,000 shares of the OO safe, and again entered into a sales contract at the same price on December 8, 2001.

7. However, the above sales contract was concluded with the O's belief that the O had no economic ability to pay KRW 3.775 billion (1,065,000) for the said shares. As such, the O did not receive any more funds from the OO, and the O did not pay the remainder of the sales price, excluding KRW 400,000,000,000,000,000.

④ On the other hand, even until March 2002, the OO did not receive 950,000 shares of the OO’s shares acquired according to the instant sales contract, and the said share certificates were kept in custody by the staff transfer type of the OO’s shares.

2) The circumstances leading to title trust

① On November 27, 2001, the OO acquired 50,000 shares excluding the 1115,00 shares already acquired in its own name pursuant to the instant sales contract. As a result, the OO reported to the Financial Supervisory Service on its shareholding ratio in excess of 10%, but it is not possible to undermine its financial capacity and thus, it is not possible to undermine its financial resources. In addition, when it falls under an oligopolistic shareholder with 51% or more of corporate tax, the OO reported a change of shares in its name with the consent of the OO, OO, O,O,O,O, andOO, and the 450,00 shares acquired on December 8, 201 under the name of the O,O,O,O, andO.

② OO reported the source of funds to the Plaintiff, etc., as well as where the share ratio acquired in the name of the Plaintiff, etc. exceeds 10%. Thus, in order to avoid this, the number of stocks acquired in the name of the Plaintiff, etc. was adjusted so that each ratio does not exceed 10%, and accordingly, only 90,000 shares, equivalent to 7.5%, were reported in the name of

3) Management status of OO safes

① From November 2001 to December 2001, the OO provided a loan of KRW 897,000,000 in total in the name of OO, an employee of the OO, etc. from November 2001 to December 200, when the OO was appointed as the representative director of the OO’s office and operated the OO’s fund.

② As a result of the audit conducted by the Financial Supervisory Service on July 2002, the management status was very poor, such as not preserving the bad debt allowances, etc. on August 27, 2002, as a result of the suspension of part of the business under the management improvement order issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on August 27, 2002, the management system of the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation was converted into the management management system of the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (the performance of duties by the representative director was suspended), and on February 21,

③ In the Seoul High Court 2007No604, 826 (Merger), the two years have been sentenced to a suspended sentence of imprisonment for a two-year period, on September 21, 2005, the Seoul High Court 2005 and the Seoul High Court 2005No1274 sentenced to a two-year period of imprisonment for a two-year period of imprisonment for a crime of violation of mutual savings banks. The Seoul High Court 2005No1274 sentenced to a two-year period of imprisonment for an occupational breach of trust. < Amended by Presidential Decree No. 1907, Sep. 21, 2005>

④ At the time of title trust of the instant shares, the OO had owned a lot of land equivalent to KRW 1,378,311,620 and a building of KRW 519,36,502. However, due to insolvency, there was no dividend payment related to the instant shares, and there was no dividend plan.

4) The circumstances leading up to the Defendant’s taxation disposition on the OO safe

① Meanwhile, the Defendant: (a) conducted a corporate tax survey on and around May 2003 on and after the date of 1999, performed the management right of the OO depository; and (b) took out loans from a third party, such as OOO personal information, etc. during the period from March 4, 2002; and (c) determined that the amount of outstanding non-exclusive loans 2.765 billion won was irrecoverable due to the insolvency of OO as of August 27, 2002 at the time of the business suspension under the above management improvement order; and (d) on the other hand, the OO depository disposes of it as a bonus to OO, a related party under the Corporate Tax Act; and (e) on June 9, 2003, an OO depository, a withholding agent of the earned income tax on the OOO, imposed a disposition of imposition of KRW 9870,700,000,000 on earned income on account of non-performance of the tax withholding obligation under the income tax change notice.

② As a result of filing a lawsuit seeking revocation of the above disposition, on December 23, 2004, the judgment dismissing the part seeking revocation of the disposition imposing additional dues by Incheon District Court 2004Guhap1838, which was rendered on December 23, 2004, on the ground that the part seeking revocation of the disposition imposing additional dues is not an object of an appeal litigation. The judgment dismissing the lawsuit by the OOF on the ground that there is no evidence to acknowledge that the actual borrower of the loan is an OOO in relation to the disposition imposing additional dues on the source of earned income tax. The defendant revoked the above disposition imposing additional dues ex officio on July 31, 2006, which is pending in the appellate trial after filing an appeal against the above judgment, and eventually, the judgment dismissing the lawsuit on the ground that the Seoul High Court 2005Nu

(In addition to attached grounds for recognition, evidence of the above quoted evidence, evidence of 5, 6, evidence of 12-3, evidence of 13-3, evidence of 15, evidence of 16-2, evidence of 19-2, evidence of 19-2, evidence of 20-2, evidence of 11, evidence of 12-1, 2, each of the entries, and purport of the whole pleadings.

(B) Determination

The legislative purport of Article 41-2(1) of the Act is to recognize an exception to the substance over form principle to the purport that the act of tax avoidance by using the title trust system is effectively prevented, and thus, it is possible to apply the proviso of the same Article only if the purpose of tax avoidance is not included in the purpose of the title trust, and the "tax" under subparagraph 1 of the same Article cannot be limited to the gift tax, and the burden of proving that there was no purpose of tax avoidance in the title trust exists a person who asserts it (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2003Du13649, Dec. 23, 2004): Provided, That if the title trust was recognized as having been conducted for any reason other than the purpose of tax avoidance, and only if there is a vague circumstance that there is a possibility that the result of future tax reduction may occur, it shall not be deemed that such title trust had an objective of tax avoidance as provided in the proviso of Article 41-2(1) of the Act (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2006Du3737.

Therefore, in light of the above legal principles, the purpose of title trust in this case, the existence of tax to be avoided due to the title trust in this case, and the awareness of the OO on this, etc. shall be examined, and it shall be determined as to whether there was an objective of tax avoidance in light of the above legal principles.

1) The purpose of the title trust of the instant shares

The following facts revealed in the above facts. ① The equity ratio of the OO’s shares acquired ultimately by the OOO is 88.7% (9.6% of the equity ratio in the name of theOO + 79.1% of the equity ratio in title trust). However, it is the amount paid as the stock price for 400 million won paid by the OOO. ② As such, the OO was a position in which it is impossible to provide a reasonable basis if it is required to report to the Financial Supervisory Commission more than 10% of the equity ratio in its own name and more than 10%, ③ theOO reported a change in the shares by lending 10 persons, including the Plaintiff, and ③ the name borrowed from many persons appears to have been reported to the Financial Supervisory Commission to avoid the fact that each of the shares ratio of the title trustee should exceed 10%, the purpose of this case’s administrative regulation, etc. is to avoid the report to the Financial Supervisory Commission.

(ii)the existence of taxes with possibility of avoidance and the purpose of tax avoidance;

The defendant is a tax item that is likely to be avoided by the commencement of the title of the shares of this case, and includes global income tax based on dividend income, secondary tax liability of oligopolistic shareholders, and acquisition tax deemed as oligopolistic shareholders under the Local Tax Act, and thus, the defendant will examine

(1) Global income tax on dividend income.

As seen earlier, even before one year has elapsed since the OO was appointed as the representative director, the OO’s safe was audited by the Financial Supervisory Service, and was under business improvement order issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and went through the bankruptcy. Ultimately, the bankruptcy was completed. In light of the circumstances that the OO made dividends related to the instant stocks due to defective business performance or did not have a dividend plan, it is difficult to deem that the OOO, at the time of the instant title trust, was under title trust with the purpose of evading dividend income by predicting dividend income taxation.

(2) The secondary tax liability of an oligopolistic stockholder.

The second liability for tax payment of oligopolistic shareholders recognized under Article 39(1) of the former Framework Act on National Taxes (amended by Act No. 7008 of Dec. 30, 2003; hereinafter the same) is imposed on oligopolistic shareholders in cases where it is deemed that an unlisted corporation that is the principal taxpayer is not able to collect taxes due to the default of taxes. According to the facts acknowledged earlier, it is difficult to view that the OOOOO was in arrears at the time of the title trust of the instant shares, and thereafter, the OOOO was not able to pay taxes due to the recognition of OO, and that the OOOO’s failure to pay withholding taxes on wage and salary income recognized by the OOOOO was finally revoked the disposition of imposition. In light of these circumstances, it is difficult to deem that the OOOO was in arrears at the time of the title trust of the instant shares, and it was anticipated that it would have avoided the secondary liability for tax payment of oligopolistic shareholders.

In addition, in order to recognize the secondary tax liability for oligopolistic shareholders, 51/100 or more of the total number of shares issued or total investment amount of the relevant corporation must be a person who actually exercises the rights to shares or investment shares of the relevant corporation. In other words, the following facts revealed in the above recognition: ① OO has no experience in conducting financial business, but has acquired shares of OO safe in accordance with the proposal ofOO; ② OO is the only amount paid for acquiring shares of OO safe; ② OO is the fact that 400 million won has not been contributed to the acquisition of shares of O safe; OO is the only amount paid for the acquisition of shares, even until March 202, 200 without receipt of shares issued by it; ③OO is difficult to view that there is an oligopolistic shareholder's right to acquire shares of O or O on the ground that it has been in possession of shares of O's representative director, and it is difficult forOO or OO's right to exercise such rights as an oligopolistic director's right to acquire shares.

(3) Deemed acquisition tax by oligopolistic stockholders

Article 105 (6) of the former Local Tax Act (amended by Act No. 7843, Dec. 31, 2005; hereinafter the same) provides that an oligopolistic shareholder of an unlisted corporation shall be deemed to have acquired an object subject to acquisition tax, separate from the acquisition tax borne by the relevant corporation, in proportion to the oligopolistic shareholder’s shareholding ratio. According to the facts acknowledged earlier, the OO shall be liable to pay acquisition tax on land and buildings owned by the OOO depository as oligopolistic shareholder under the former Local Tax Act, barring any other circumstance, unless the ownership ratio of the OOO’s stocks acquired by the OOO reaches 8.7%, and barring any other circumstance, the OO shall be liable to pay acquisition tax on land and buildings owned by the OO depository in proportion to its shareholding ratio. Thus, due to the title trust of the shares in this case, it would result in avoiding deemed acquisition tax under the former Local Tax Act. In addition, if the OOO under investigation conducted by the O prosecutor on Nov. 11, 2002, it appears to have stated the tax evasion’s stocks in this case.

However, as seen earlier, there is considerable doubt as to whether OO actually acquired the stocks of OO depository as well as 3,765,000 won of the stocks of O depository acquired including the title trust of this case, and the total assets limit of O depository was 72,050,055,656, while the former Local Tax Act, which would have been avoided by the title trust of the stocks of this case, was 33,664,809 won (the value of the building and land, 1,897,678,122 won, 88.7% of the shares shares shares of XOO, X20/100, which would have been deemed to have been in fact a high proportion of the shares acquired by OO depository to the extent that it would have been difficult forO to view that it would have been in fact a high proportion of the shares acquired by OO depository after the fact that it had been appointed as the representative director of the O depository of this case in light of the amount of purchase of stocks or assets of theO depository of this case.

(C) Sub-decisions

Therefore, in light of the purpose of the title trust in this case, the existence of taxes to be avoided due to the instant title trust, and the awareness of the OO on it, etc., it is reasonable to deem that OO has no purpose of tax avoidance at the time of the said title trust to avoid administrative regulations, such as reporting to the Financial Supervisory Commission, and it is reasonable to deem that OO had no purpose of tax avoidance. However, it does not change merely because the result of future tax reduction may arise or that it may avoid disadvantage as an oligopolistic shareholder.

Therefore, the instant disposition based on the premise that the OO has the objective of tax avoidance should be revoked in an unlawful manner without considering the legitimacy of the calculation details.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is accepted on the grounds of its reasoning, and the judgment of the court of first instance is unfair on the grounds of its conclusion, so the judgment of the court of first instance is revoked and the disposition of this case is revoked, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
