Main Issues
(a) Permission and approval prescribed in subparagraph 14 of Article 78-3 of the Enforcement Decree of the Local Tax Act, to use an unauthorized building established on an empty land as an office and to obtain business registration, payment records including acquisition tax, and license and approval;
(b) Whether the provisions of subparagraph 14 of Article 78-3 of the Enforcement Rule of the Local Tax Act are valid;
(c) Whether Article 78-3 subparagraph 13 of the Enforcement Rule of the Local Tax Act applies to a personal entrepreneur who is not a corporation;
Summary of Judgment
A. It cannot be deemed that there was permission, approval, designation, and decision under Article 78-3 subparag. 14 of the Enforcement Rule of the Local Tax Act, which set forth the scope and limit of the land to be excluded from the vacant land solely on the ground that the Plaintiff’s market wholesale business with the land was registered as a business operator under Article 5 of the Value-Added Tax Act or that there was a record of paying acquisition tax and defense tax on the land-free building without permission.
B. Article 78-3 subparag. 14 of the Enforcement Rule of the Local Tax Act provides the basis for Article 142(1) subparag. 1(f) of the Enforcement Decree of the Local Tax Act and thus cannot be deemed null and void.
C. Determination as to whether a corporate entity is a public land or a corporate land for non-business use is different. Thus, in the case of a corporate entity, it cannot be deemed that the above provision is applied to the Plaintiff, a private business entity, on the ground that it does not constitute a public land for non-business use under Article 78-3 subparagraph 13 of the Enforcement Rule of the Local Tax Act, and it does not constitute a violation of the principle of tax equity on the ground that the above provision is not applied.
