C.

2) The Defendant deducted the Plaintiff’s global income for the year 2014 from KRW 9,812,530,000 for donations after deducting KRW 1,000,000 for global income, and reduced KRW 5,573,692 for the imposition of global income tax for the year 2014.
3) On April 20, 2017, the commissioner of the regional tax office rendered a decision to rectify the tax base and tax amount according to the result of re-audit as to whether the Plaintiff’s amount used for the credit card in 2013 and KRW 34,902,513 correspond to the corresponding expenses on imports.

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, entry of evidence Nos. 1 through 4, 6, 7 and the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. Summary of the plaintiff's assertion
1) The details of necessary expenses claimed by the Plaintiff in relation to global income tax for the year 2013 and the part acknowledged by the Defendant among them are as shown in the attached Table 1, and the necessary expenses alleged in relation to global income tax for the year 2014 and the part acknowledged by the Defendant among them are as listed in the attached Table 2. The Plaintiff mainly used the relevant credit card in relation to the business, and the purpose and location of the use thereof were clarified, and only the expenses incurred in the business accompanied by the head of the account ledger was claimed as necessary expenses. Accordingly, all the expenses claimed by the
2) If the Defendant is unable to believe the details of the use of credit cards submitted by the Plaintiff, there is no other method of calculating the tax base and tax amount. Therefore, the tax base and tax amount should be corrected by means of the estimation based on the standard expense rate
B. Determination
1) Whether the necessary expenses alleged by the Plaintiff are recognized
A) In 2013, F in 2014, F in 2014, and GG bank credit card usage usage (A evidence 1, 2, 3, and 3-1, 2, and 3-3) presented by the Plaintiff appears to be the credit card usage by the relevant bank. According to this, the date of use of the relevant credit card, the amount of use, the store store, etc. can be identified. The Plaintiff indicated the usage, such as 'welfare costs', 'consumable goods cost', 'vehicle maintenance cost', 'transport expense', 'transport expense'. The Plaintiff prepared the head of each account (A evidence 2-4, 3-4) by reflecting the amount of credit card usage, and prepared the credit card usage by which specific places of use of the credit card usage are indicated (A evidence 2-5, A-3-5).
B) However, in full view of the following facts and circumstances, the evidence alone presented by the Plaintiff is insufficient to recognize that the costs alleged by the Plaintiff were the business income accrued in 2013 and the necessary expenses corresponding to the business income accrued in 2014. The Plaintiff’s assertion related thereto cannot be accepted.

(2) The Defendant recognized all necessary expenses as related to the Plaintiff’s business in the course of tax investigation or the Plaintiff’s filing of the objection.
2) Whether the method of estimated investigation is applied
In principle, when the tax authorities determine and correct the tax base and amount of tax, they can exceptionally make an estimated investigation decision only when necessary account books and documentary evidence are nonexistent or important parts are insufficient or false (proviso of Article 80 (3) of the Income Tax Act and Article 143 (1) 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act).
According to the entries in Eul evidence No. 4 and the purport of the entire pleadings, the defendant can recognize the fact that the disposition in this case was taken on the basis of not only the details of credit card use presented by the plaintiff, but also the contract, receipts, tax invoices, etc. Therefore, the application of standard expense rate to the plaintiff cannot be based on the estimation investigation method. Since the application of standard expense rate is also a method of calculating the amount of income in the case of estimation or correction (Article 143(3)1 (c) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act), the standard expense rate cannot be applied
3. Conclusion
The claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
1) On February 6, 2017, the Plaintiff stated the date of disposition stated in the written complaint’s statement on the first date for pleading.
