2. The costs of appeal shall be borne by the Defendant.

On May 13, 2015, the Defendant confirmed that the imposition disposition of KRW 1,057,815,054 and penalty tax of KRW 590,604,725, which was imposed by the Plaintiff on the Plaintiff on May 13, 2009, is null and void (the Plaintiff changed the purport of the claim as above in the trial).

2. Purport of appeal

The judgment of the first instance is revoked. The plaintiff's claim is dismissed.

The Defendant asserts that the service by public notice on the instant tax notice was lawful even in the trial. However, even if the evidence duly adopted and examined by the first instance court, the Defendant’s duty of care as a good manager in identifying the Plaintiff’s address for the purpose of delivering the instant tax notice, based on the following circumstances, it is difficult to view that the Defendant fulfilled its duty of care in identifying the Plaintiff’s address.

① The Defendant, one year prior to the Defendant’s attempt to serve the instant tax notice, etc. regarding global income tax for 2007 on the Plaintiff’s domicile, was already returned to the Plaintiff’s absence of the recipient by means of registered mail on the Plaintiff’s resident registration, served the Plaintiff’s spouse’s domicile and sent a demand notice thereafter. At the time, the Defendant was sufficiently aware that the Plaintiff’s actual domicile was not the Plaintiff’s resident registration address, and the Plaintiff’s actual domicile was identified as the spouse’s domicile.

② In such circumstances, the Defendant’s employees visited the Plaintiff’s resident registration address for the delivery of the instant tax payment notice, and the Plaintiff’s spouse’s address could not be confirmed at all times, and confirmed the fact that the Plaintiff’s spouse resides in the same place through family helpers at the time.

③ Nevertheless, the Defendant’s employees did not stay at the Plaintiff’s spouse’s domicile and returned to P.M. without any specific confirmation, solely based on the family helpers’ answer that the Plaintiff did not live at the address.

④ Since then, the Defendant visited the domicile of the Plaintiff’s spouse, and did not take any additional measures to confirm whether the Plaintiff’s spouse resides through the Plaintiff’s spouse, and immediately served the instant tax payment notice on the sole basis of one visit.

Therefore, it is just that the first instance court determined that the service by public notice on the instant tax payment notice was unlawful on the grounds of its stated reasoning, as it failed to meet the requirements for service by public notice under Article 11(1)2 of the Framework Act on National Taxes. In so doing, there is no error as alleged in the Defendant’s

Therefore, the reasoning for this Court is that the reasoning for this case is stated in the reasoning of the judgment of the first instance except for the second and the last conduct from 18th of the judgment of the first instance (part of the developments leading to the disposition of the first instance) as follows. Thus, it is acceptable to accept this case as it is in accordance with Article 8(2) of the Administrative Litigation Act and the main text of Article 420 of the Civil Procedure Act.
