D. Imposition of gift tax on the plaintiff
(1) On July 31, 2007, the Plaintiff received a tax investigation from the director of the Busan Regional Tax Office with regard to the receipt of the insurance payment of this case. On March 29, 2001, the Plaintiff reported the payment of KRW 1,244,00,000 for the insurance payment of this case and KRW 14,589,000 for the reason that the Plaintiff received a donation of KRW 1,258,589,589,000 for the total amount of KRW 1,258,589,00 for the insurance payment of this case from the purchase date of insurance to the change of name, and paid it in installments.
(2) However, on December 18, 2007, the Defendant: (a) deemed that the Plaintiff donated the instant insurance proceeds from OrA on the insurance maturity of the instant case to the Plaintiff; and (b) applied Article 34(1) of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Act No. 8828, Dec. 31, 2007; hereinafter “the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act”) by deeming the instant insurance proceeds as the value of donated property; (c) imposed KRW 128,78,830 of the remaining gift tax after deducting the Plaintiff’s said payment amount (hereinafter “the instant disposition”).
E. On March 10, 2008, the Plaintiff filed an appeal with the Tax Tribunal on the instant disposition, but was dismissed on December 31, 2008.
2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
(1) The instant insurance takes the form of insurance, but its substance is a savings deposit, and thus, Article 34(1) of the Act cannot be applied.
(2) The Plaintiff received the status of the policyholder and the beneficiary of the instant insurance, which is a savings insurance, from the Plaintiff, and received the status of the policyholder and the beneficiary of the instant insurance, and received the donation of the insurance property at the time of such transfer. Therefore, it is reasonable to evaluate the value of the donated property as the amount equivalent to the insurance premium and interest accrued therefrom paid by the Plaintiff. Therefore, even if the Plaintiff received the instant maturity insurance money as a beneficiary after receiving the status of the policyholder and beneficiary of the instant insurance, it cannot be deemed that the amount of the insurance money was donated to another person, apart from the value of the donated property
(b) Related statutes;
It is as shown in the attached Form.
C. Determination
(1) Determination on the first argument
As seen earlier, the insurance of this case is "non-distribution Sck insurance" that the name of the product is "non-distribution Sck, which is determined by the insured, the beneficiary, and the maturity, death, and hull disability are defined as an insured event, and the insurance amount payable for the cause of receiving the insurance amount is stipulated as an insurance accident. Accordingly, the insurance of this case constitutes life insurance.
Therefore, the plaintiff's first argument is without merit.
(2) Judgment on the second argument
According to Article 2 of the Act, the term "donations" refers to the transfer of tangible or intangible property, which can calculate the economic value, to another person, either directly or indirectly, or the increase of the value of another person's property by contribution, regardless of the form, purpose, etc. of the act or transaction, regardless of the name, purpose, etc. of the act or transaction. It can be said that the Plaintiff was transferred the right to receive economic value by transferring the status of the policyholder and beneficiary of the insurance
However, in reality, if the acquisition of donated property is not carried out, it cannot be said that it is subject to gift tax due to a grave state where there is no taxable object.
"Although the name of the policyholder and the beneficiary was changed to the plaintiff, if the plaintiff terminates the insurance contract pursuant to Article 7 of the insurance contract of this case as the policyholder, the plaintiff will acquire the cancellation refund for theCC life, and if the insurance accident occurs, the insurance money will be acquired as the beneficiary. Therefore, it cannot be deemed that the subject of gift tax has been specified at the time of the change. In the case of this case where the plaintiff is paid the maturity insurance money as the beneficiary, it shall not be deemed that the amount of the insurance money should be donated at the time of the occurrence of the insurance accident because the beneficiary and the payer of the insurance money are different in the case of the life insurance stipulated in Article 34 (1) of the Act." Accordingly, the change of the policyholder and the beneficiary cannot be deemed as a donation of property under the law. Thus, the second argument
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case shall be dismissed as it is without merit. However, since the judgment of the court of first instance is just with this conclusion, the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
