Where a corrective disposition is taken after an initial disposition is cancelled, it is limited to a new disposition that has the effect of revoking a part of the original disposition, not to fix a specific tax liability for the remaining amount after the revocation of the original disposition, and the corrective disposition has the legal effect only with respect to the portion of the amount of tax reduced by it, which is not independent from the original disposition, and it is a modification of the original disposition. Therefore, there is no benefit of lawsuit seeking revocation as a disposition that has the favorable effect to the taxpayer, and there is no benefit of lawsuit seeking revocation as a partial revocation as a result of a partial revocation of the amount of tax.

B. In light of the foregoing legal principles, the part seeking revocation of the disposition of imposition of KRW 7,841,857, which was corrected among the disposition of this case, does not have the interest in seeking revocation of the disposition of this case.

3. Whether the remaining part of the disposition of this case is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

(1) Article 49(5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, which is the basis of the instant disposition, requires taxpayers to perform any impossible obligation at all by ensuring that the transaction of other property similar to the donated property is based on the arbitrariness and flexibility of the transaction. Moreover, since the citizens’ property rights are arbitrarily infringed by the Enforcement Decree, rather than the law, it is unconstitutional and unlawful that is contrary to the principle of no taxation without law. Thus, the instant

(2) The standard market price of the apartment in the same Dong to which the apartment of this case belongs is different, and the apartment of this case differs depending on the same Dong, the same structure, the same direction, and the same scale, even on the same floor. Even on the same floor, the price vary depending on the seller’s circumstances, location, facility condition, direction, view, etc., the Defendant’s assessment of the price of the apartment of this case in comparison with the 1 and 2 sales cases was not reflected in the accurate market price.

(b) Related statutes;

It is as shown in the attached Table related statutes.

(c) Fact of recognition;

The following facts may be acknowledged, either in dispute between the parties, or in combination with the whole purport of pleadings, on each entry of evidence No. 2-1 through 5, evidence No. 4-1 through 10, and evidence No. 7 through 11:

(1) The second sale apartment of this case is located on the ○○○○ apartment, ○○○ apartment, ○○○○ apartment, and is located on the 3rd floor, and only the location of the apartment and the floor of this case, which are located on the same direction, was traded in the same parallel-type apartment located on the same direction, and in the same parallel-type apartment in the purchase price of 615,00,000 won on January 31, 2005.

(2) The trend of the apartment of this case and the ○○○○ apartment complex, where the second sale apartment of this case is located, is considerably far away from ○○○ apartment complex in the south of ○○○○ apartment complex, and the direction of the apartment complex is different, and there seems to be no difference in the view right per person. According to the real estate sale and purchase schedule offered on the Internet ○○ apartment site, the general transaction price of the apartment of this case was KRW 595,000,000, the sales price was KRW 565,000,000, the sales price was KRW 625,000,000, and the sales price was KRW 625,000,000.

(3) On April 30, 2004, the standard market price of the apartment of this case pursuant to a public notice by the Commissioner of the National Tax Service is KRW 420,000,000, and there is no particular difference between the standard market price of the apartment of this case and KRW 442,50,000, which is the standard market price of the

D. Determination

(1) Whether Article 49(5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act is unconstitutional or unlawful

(A) According to Article 60(1) and (2) of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, when the value of inherited property is based on the "market price as of the date on which the inheritance commences," the meaning of "market price" includes the value recognized as "market price under the conditions as prescribed by the Presidential Decree such as the expropriation, public auction price, appraisal price, and appraisal price, etc. in addition to the value which is generally accepted when transactions take place freely between many and unspecified persons. Article 49(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, which was enacted upon delegation by the parent law, provides that "market price of inherited property" shall be the target transaction for which the sale, appraisal, expropriation, auction, or public sale is conducted within six months before and after the base date of appraisal, and provides specific criteria for value as each subparagraph. However, Article 49(5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act expands the target

(B) Therefore, comprehensively taking account of the following: (a) the “market price based on which the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act is based on the standard of evaluation of inherited property” under the premise that it is, in principle, an objective exchange price formed through normal transactions; and (b) it is not a party who has an incidental transaction pursuant to only one time; (c) the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act delegates specific standards to be considered as the market price by the Presidential Decree because it is difficult to provide for any method of transaction according to complicated transaction reality and continuous change in the form of law; (d) Article 49(5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides for the approximate standard of transaction which is already recognized as the market price; and (e) it is difficult to view the same or similar transaction price of the relevant apartment or similar property as the market price in light of the legislative purport of the Act, as newly established by Presidential Decree No. 18177, Dec. 30, 203; and (e) it is difficult to view that the sale price of the relevant real estate is unreasonable or similar transaction price.

(2) Determination on similarity between the apartment of this case and the similar apartment of this case

There is no evidence to transfer the apartment of this case and the second similar apartment of this case that are not similar.

Rather, as seen in the above facts, it is reasonable to view that the apartment of this case and the second sale apartment of this case reflects the objective exchange value of the apartment of this case as the transaction value of the apartment of this case as the transaction value of other properties identical with the size, location, purpose, and item of the apartment of this case, which are identical with that of the apartment of this case and the second sale apartment of this case, with only the third and fifth floors, without any big difference in view of the view. The standard market price publicly notified by the Commissioner of the National Tax Service is also different. The sale price of the second sale apartment of this case is within the scope of the estimated sale value on the Internet real estate sale price sheet for the apartment of this case, and the time of sale is not different from the nearest one month from the donation day of this case.

(3) Sub-decisions

Therefore, as of October 14, 2004, the date of donation, the Defendant’s investigation into the trading case for three months before and after the date of the donation, and considering the sales price confirmed in the trading case of the second sale apartment of this case, which is the same in the same direction as that of the apartment of this case, as the market price of the apartment of this case, the disposition of this case is legitimate disposition under Article 60(1) and (2) of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, and Article 49(1) and (5) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the part of the instant lawsuit seeking revocation of the disposition of imposition of KRW 7,841,857, which was corrected, among the dispositions of this case, is dismissed as it is unlawful, and the remainder of the Plaintiff’s claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
