1) Summary of the plaintiffs' assertion

A) Although the tax authority conducted a tax investigation on the instant stock company, it is not permitted under the Constitution to impose tax on the Plaintiffs based on the data obtained in the process, as it violates due process.

B) In addition, since the tax investigation on the shares issued by the stock company of this case is a tax investigation on the plaintiffs' stock acquisition, a tax official is obligated to notify the plaintiffs of the results of the tax investigation pursuant to Article 81-12 of the Framework Act on National Taxes when the investigation is completed. Each of the dispositions of this case was conducted without such notification.

2) Determination

A) According to the provisions of the Framework Act on National Taxes and other tax-related Acts, when tax liability is established and determined, taxpayers are obligated to pay the determined amount of tax as a matter of course. If the taxation data legally secured by the tax authority after conducting a tax investigation pursuant to the provisions of the Framework Act on National Taxes includes some of the taxation data of a third party, not those subject to the tax investigation, the taxation can be imposed on the third party on the basis of the data. Therefore, the plaintiffs' assertion on this part

B) According to the evidence evidence Nos. 49 through 52, it is recognized that the notice of the results of the tax investigation on the shares entrusted in the name of the Plaintiff Kim○ and Kim○○ was given to the Plaintiff Kim○ and Kim○○. Thus, the part on the Plaintiff Kim○ and Kim○, among the plaintiffs' claims, in this part of the plaintiffs' claims, is without merit without any further review.

Meanwhile, there is no dispute between the parties as to the failure to give notice of the result of the tax investigation on the plaintiff ○○ and Lee ○○, but there is a very high probability that the taxation data of a third party related to the tax investigation will be investigated and verified when a tax investigation on any taxpayer is conducted. If the tax liability of a third party confirmed in the process is established and confirmed as to the taxation data of the third party, the tax authority can, as a matter of course, impose a taxation on the third party. Considering the contents of the tax investigation and the pre-assessment review prescribed in Articles 81-6 through 17 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, the tax investigation is based on the premise of the specific "person subject to investigation". Thus, even if the taxation data on the third party other than the person subject to the tax investigation were verified, it is difficult to view that the result of the tax investigation was illegal for the third party in the process of not notifying the third party of the result of the tax investigation. Therefore, if the taxation data on the person other than the person subject to the tax investigation is conducted in accordance with the taxation data, it cannot be deemed unlawful for the third party.

Ultimately, this part of the plaintiffs' assertion is without merit.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the claim of the plaintiffs shall be dismissed due to the lack of reason, and the judgment of the first instance is just, and therefore, the appeal by the plaintiffs is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition.
