[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Eul 3 to 12, purport of the whole pleadings
C. Determination
Article 2 (3) and (4) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act shall not apply to cases where a person is deemed to have an address in Korea or where a person is deemed to have no address in Korea, and ultimately, the address under the Income Tax Act shall be determined based on objective facts of living relationship, such as the existence of a family living together in Korea and of assets
The Plaintiff’s husband saltB resided in most of the Republic of Korea and obtained considerable income. The Plaintiff’s living expenses were appropriated for saltB’s living in Singapore once in Korea, so it can be deemed that there exists a family living together with the Plaintiff in Korea. The Plaintiff himself/herself has a considerable property and income in Korea, the Plaintiff did not dispose of the instant apartment at the time of departure from Singapore, the Plaintiff was living in the instant apartment after return, and the Plaintiff’s living behavior as recognized earlier, etc. are deemed to be a resident under the Income Tax Act. The instant disposition is legitimate.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
