2. The Defendant’s disposition of imposition of capital gains tax of KRW 122,955,930 against the Plaintiff on January 10, 2005 shall be revoked.

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

The following facts are not disputed between the parties, or acknowledged by taking account of the overall purport of the arguments in Gap evidence 2, Gap evidence 7-1, 2, Eul evidence 1, Eul evidence 2, and Eul evidence 3.

A. On June 28, 2004, the Plaintiff transferred his/her ownership share to ○○○○○○○○○○○○-dong, ○○○, ○, ○○, and ○○○○-2 square meters in total (hereinafter referred to as “soil”) and filed a transfer income tax by calculating the transfer value applying the officially assessed individual land price as of January 1, 2003, to 1860,000 won.

B. The Defendant initially used the above land as a gas station site, and the use of the above land was changed due to the construction of the building for neighborhood living facilities on that ground. Accordingly, since the land category under the intellectual property law was changed from the miscellaneous land to the site, it constitutes the proviso of Article 99 (1) 1 (a) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 7335 of Jan. 14, 2005; hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) and Article 164 (1) 3 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 18705 of Feb. 19, 2005; hereinafter referred to as the “Enforcement Decree”), on the ground that it constitutes the “land without an individual land price” under Article 164 (1) 1 (a) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 18705 of Feb. 19, 2005) and then the transfer price was calculated by applying 33.3333330,5000.

2. Whether the disposition is lawful;

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The instant disposition shall be revoked on the grounds that it is unlawful for the following reasons.

(1) The proviso of Article 99(1)1 (a) of the Act delegates the assessment of only the land for which the publicly assessed individual land price is not publicly announced in such a manner as prescribed by the Presidential Decree. Thus, Article 164(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act applies to a case where there is no publicly assessed individual land price among the land falling under each subparagraph of the same paragraph. Since the above land does not fall under the land for which the publicly assessed individual land price is publicly notified continuously, the disposition of this case based on the premise that the above land falls under the

(2) Even if not, Article 164(1)3 of the Enforcement Decree provides that "the land category of the intellectual law has changed due to the change of the form and quality of the land or the change of the purpose of the use thereof."

In order to fall under the "land without any officially announced individual land" under the above provision, the category of the cadastral law should be changed due to the "change in the form and quality of the land" or the "use change of the land". Since the above land constitutes a case where the category of the cadastral law is changed due to the "use change of the building", the disposition of this case on the premise that the above land falls under the above provision

B. Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Form.

(c) Fact of recognition;

The following facts are acknowledged in each of the above evidence, evidence Nos. 6, and evidence No. 8 as a whole, unless there is a dispute between the parties, or as a whole by considering the purport of the entire pleadings.

(1) The above land was used as one of four parcels, and its original land category was the site. From August 23, 1994, ○○○, the father of the Plaintiff started the gas station business under the trade name called “○○○ Gas station” in the above land around August 23, 1994, and its land category was changed to miscellaneous land on March 14, 1997.

(2) On March 2, 2002, ○○○○ discontinued the gas station business, and thereafter, on March 30, 2002, 200, ○○○○○○○’s children, including the Plaintiff, who became co-owners of the above land, newly constructed the above land by obtaining a construction permit for Class 1 neighborhood living facilities of the second and fourth floors above the ground on the above land, and obtained the approval for the use of the above building from the competent authority on June 10, 2004.

(3) As above, co-owners of the above land, including BBB and the Plaintiff, filed an application for land category change of the above land. Accordingly, the head of ○○ City/Gu changed the land category of the above land to the site on the ground that the use of the building was changed on June 16, 2004.

D. Determination

(1) As to the assertion that Article 164(1) of the Enforcement Decree applies to a case where no officially assessed individual land price exists among the lands falling under each subparagraph of the same paragraph

(A) Articles 94(1)1, 96(1), and 99(1)1(a) of the Act and Articles 10(2) and 10-2 of the former Act on Public Notice of Values and Appraisal of Land, Etc. (amended by Act No. 7335, Jan. 14, 2005; hereinafter referred to as the “Public Notice of Values and Appraisal of Real Estate Act”) provide that the transfer value of land shall be based on the standard market price at the time of transfer, and the standard market price shall be based on the officially assessed individual land price under the Public Notice of Land Price Act: Provided, That the value of land for which no officially assessed individual land price exists shall be appraised by the method determined by the Presidential Decree, taking into account the officially assessed individual land price of neighboring similar land; in Article 164(1)3 of the Enforcement Decree, the land category of which under the Public Notice of Land Price Act has been changed due to changes in the form and quality of the land or changes in the purpose of use of the land; and in such case, the appraisal price shall be assessed by the head of neighboring land price.

(B) In light of the above provisions of the relevant laws and regulations, Article 164(1) of the Enforcement Decree shall be interpreted to the effect that the transfer value of the land stipulated in each of the following subparagraphs shall be assessed by the method stipulated in the above provision in light of the land without a publicly assessed individual land price. Unlike this, it cannot be interpreted to the effect that only the land without a publicly assessed individual land price among the land stipulated in each of the above subparagraphs is applied (the same shall apply in that it separately lists the land omitted in the determination and public notice of the publicly assessed individual land price in subparagraph 4). In addition, where the use of the land is changed, the comparison standard for calculating the publicly assessed individual land price shall also be changed due to a significant change in the goods, etc. of the land existing before and after the change in the use of the land. In such a case, the application of the previously assessed individual land price after the change in the previous land category shall be deemed to be one of the land without a publicly assessed individual land price under the above provision, and it shall be reasonable to apply the value assessed by the head of the tax office having jurisdiction over the place of tax payment

(2) As to the assertion that the category of a building under the intellectual law is changed due to the change of the purpose of use of a building, it does not constitute a "land without an individual land price" under Article 164 (1) of the Enforcement Decree.

(A) Article 164 (1) 3 of the Enforcement Decree of the Cadastral Act provides that "the land whose land category has been changed due to the change of the form and quality of the land or the change of the purpose of use of the land" as one of the land without a publicly assessed individual land price. It is reasonable to interpret the land whose land category has been changed under the Cadastral Act due to "the change of the form and quality of the land" or "the change of the purpose of use of the land". Article 21 of the Cadastral Act provides that the landowner shall apply to the competent authority within 60 days from the date of the change of land category as prescribed by the President. Article 16 of the Enforcement Decree of the Cadastral Act provides that "the change of land category is completed due to the change of land category" in subparagraph 1 of the National Land Planning and Utilization Act and Article 164 (1) 2 provides that "the change of the purpose of use of the land or a building can be applied for the change of the purpose of use of the land" in addition to "the change of the purpose of use of the land".

Considering that the land category of the designated land is "the purpose of use of the land under Article 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Building Act" and "the purpose of use of the land is to change the land to a specific use zone (Article 38), urban natural park area (Article 38-2), urbanization-coordination zone (Article 39), fishery resources protection zone (Article 40), etc. In general, if the purpose of use of such land is changed, the construction act will be determined accordingly, and even if the construction is possible, the restriction on the use, building-to-land ratio, floor area, height, etc. of the building should be mitigated or strengthened, and the purpose of use of the building is to change the land category of the land under Article 2 (2) of the Building Act only if the land category of the designated land is changed to the original house, apartment house, first-class neighborhood living facilities, second-class neighborhood living facilities, sales facilities, transportation facilities, education and research facilities, sports facilities, accommodation facilities, accommodation facilities, factories, storage facilities, public land price change to the original purpose of the land, etc.

(B) Based on this point, it is clear that the above land does not constitute a "land whose land category has been changed due to the change of the form and quality of the land or the change of the use of the land under the cadastral law" under Article 164 (1) 3 of the Enforcement Decree, since the land category was changed from the land category to the land site due to the construction of Class 1 neighborhood living facilities on that ground. Thus, the above land does not constitute a "land whose land category has been changed due to the change of the form and quality of the land or the change of the use of the land under Article 164 (1)

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the disposition of this case shall be revoked in an unlawful manner, so that the plaintiff's claim shall be accepted for the reasons of its reasoning, and since the judgment of the court of first instance is unfair with different conclusions, the judgment of the court of first instance shall be revoked, and it is so decided as per Disposition with the cancellation of the disposition of this case

Where land category is changed due to the change of use of a building, whether it falls under land without officially announced land price.
