The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal shall be borne by the plaintiff.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal by the Plaintiff’s attorney are examined.
Examining the reasoning of the judgment below on August 12, 1978, the Plaintiff agreed to lend interest of KRW 11,00,000 to the Nonparty at five percent per annum, and three months after the due date, and made a provisional registration on August 17, 1978 for preserving the right to claim ownership transfer under the Plaintiff’s name as of August 17, 1978. The Plaintiff and the Nonparty on September 11 of the same year repaid KRW 12,650,00 to the Nonparty on November 11 of the same year, the Plaintiff cancelled the above provisional registration. If the Nonparty did not repay the above amount by the above date, the Plaintiff performed the principal registration procedure based on the provisional registration as to the instant real estate for the purpose of collateral, the Plaintiff did not transfer and order the instant real estate to the Nonparty on August 16, 1979 for the purpose of collateral, and the Defendant did not impose the above provisional registration for KRW 12,650,000,000 on the Plaintiff’s gross income from August 16, 29, 1975.
The lower court determined that the instant taxation disposition by the Defendant, which was imposed on the Plaintiff by deeming the instant real estate transferred under the Plaintiff’s name as the transferred property under the Plaintiff’s name as the transferred property under Article 42(1) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, was lawful, and that the instant real estate should be deemed as the time of provisional registration, rather than the time of the principal registration, pursuant to the proviso of Article 42(1) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, the Defendant’s illegality, which is merely the mere fact that the Defendant’s illegality can only be revoked.
According to Article 42 (2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, the property transferred for security refers to the property substantially becoming the object of securing a claim to the transferor at the time when the taxpayer transfers the property under a contract between the parties concerned. Accordingly, upon examining the terms and conditions of the contract between the Plaintiff and the Nonparty on the real estate in this case, the above Nonparty merely made a provisional registration of the Plaintiff’s name on the real estate in this case in order to secure a loan obligation to the Plaintiff at the time of a loan agreement for consumption, and thus, the real estate in this case already became the object of a claim security at the time of establishment of provisional registration. Thus, it can be deemed that the real estate in this case has already become the object of a claim security at the time of establishment of provisional registration. However, it cannot be deemed as a transfer of security in the form of a security taking the form of a transfer of ownership, and it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff’s provisional registration completed a provisional registration pursuant to the above-mentioned telephone content is merely a step to satisfy the secured claim by exercising the security right on the ground that the obligation of the above Nonparty, the secured obligation.
Therefore, the court below erred by misapprehending the legal principles on the property transferred for security under the Framework Act on National Taxes, which concluded that the Defendant’s tax assessment imposed on the Plaintiff was unlawful, as a person who is liable to pay physical taxes on the above Nonparty’s delinquent national taxes by deeming the real estate as the property transferred for security, and who is liable to pay taxes on the Plaintiff. However, the court below’s determination that the above tax assessment defect cannot be deemed to be objectively obvious and obvious, and thus, the court below dismissed the Plaintiff’s claim of this case seeking confirmation of invalidity cannot be deemed to have been just and reasonable. Thus,
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of the appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
