2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
1) Of the instant disposition, the amount reverted to the year 2008.
A) The Plaintiff did not specify the interest rate or the due date while paying the amount to DD, which constitutes business income, not interest income, since it is deemed that it invested the amount and received a promise to make profits therefrom.
B)CC is not a title trustee but an actual investor of the instant construction project.
C) The market price of the apartment of this case is not KRW 0,000,000,000, but KRW 0,000,000,000, which is the average transaction price in 2009 and 2010, should be assessed as KRW 0,000,000 (=0,000,0000 x 2).
D) The Plaintiff, as well as KRW 0,000,000,000 on DDC and around November 15, 2005, paid additional money exceeding KRW 000,000,000 as a subsidy in purchasing real estate (ownership shares among the site of ○○○○ apartment site) around November 15, 2005, and up to November 6, 2006, as DD’s management expenses until November 6, 2006, loans should be calculated as KRW 0,00,00,000.
E) The Plaintiff paid KRW 000,000,000,000 to DDC in addition to KRW 0,000,000.
F) The amount invested by the Plaintiff in DNA was KRW 0,00,000, and the amount was KRW 0,000,000,000, and the amount was only KRW 0,000,000,00. The amount of the instant disposition, among the instant disposition, imposed on the Plaintiff on the premise that the claim for DNA was not recoverable and that there was no profit accrued to the Plaintiff, is unlawful.
2) Of the instant disposition, the amount reverted to the year 2010.
As the debtor, Kim FF and the guarantor Kim H have no ability to repay obligations to the debtor, the plaintiff's credit against Kim FF was impossible to collect, and since the dividend received by the plaintiff is less than the principal, the amount received by the plaintiff in the auction procedure of the land located in ○○○○○○○○○○○○, ○○○○○○, cannot be taxed as interest income.

F) Determination as to whether the substance over form principle is violated
As seen earlier, insofar as the value of the apartment of this case is KRW 0,000,000,000, and the Plaintiff’s loan is deemed as KRW 0,000,000,000, it can be recognized that there was interest income on the part exceeding KRW 0,000,000 in the Plaintiff. As such, on a different premise, the Plaintiff lent money to the Plaintiff and incurred losses, and thus, the Plaintiff’s assertion that the disposition of this case is in violation of the substance over form principle is without merit.
2) Determination as to the portion reverted to year 2010 among the instant disposition
A) The legislative intent of Article 45 subparag. 9-2 and Article 51(7) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act is to: (a) consider the interest income as fixed upon the arrival of the date of a payment agreement for the interest on non-business loan as subject to income tax; (b) however, even if the date of such payment agreement arrives, if there are special circumstances to deem that it is objectively evident that it is impossible to recover the interest claim due to the debtor’s bankruptcy, etc. and that the future interest income has no possibility of realizing such interest income, this would not be subject to income tax (see Supreme Court Decision 2009Du13160, Sept. 8, 201).
B) According to the statement No. 14-1 and No. 14-2 of the Plaintiff’s request, it is recognized that MM credit information company, at the Plaintiff’s request, prepared a notice of impossibility of collecting claims with respect to KimF and Kim H. Meanwhile, on April 20, 2010, the Plaintiff received dividends of KRW 00,000 from the real estate auction procedure owned by KimF on April 20, 2010, and the following circumstances revealed by the above facts. In other words, the Plaintiff was aware of the above facts. ① the Plaintiff was paid a significant portion of the interest and interest on the loan to KimF before the instant disposition; ② the Plaintiff sent the notice of impossibility of collecting claims with respect to KimF and Kim H, which was requested by the Plaintiff until the closing of the argument. The Plaintiff’s notice of impossibility of collecting claims was insufficient to recognize that the Plaintiff’s claim was impossible to recover due to the bankruptcy, compulsory execution, execution of business, or the discontinuation, missing, missing, etc. of business.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
