Appropriateness of the assertion that a person is a bona fide trading party as a disguised tax invoice

Although the tax invoice of this case received by the plaintiff as an exporter is a real transaction, it constitutes a different tax invoice between the actual supplier and the supplier on the tax invoice, and the plaintiff also seems to have known or could have known such fact in the above name.

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The plaintiff is not simply a company supplied for the export of gold bullion, but mainly engaged in the manufacturing business of precious metals at the early stage, and engaged in the export and processing business of the precious metal (gold spons) so as to make it difficult for the business due to the business depression, and it was merely engaged in the export of gold bullion, and international gold and gold bullion were normally purchased from 00 ○○oid, and received each of the tax invoices of this case.

In addition, all purchased gold was exported to the importing company of "sunit hyp h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h, Lt h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h, which

(c) Fact of recognition;

The following facts are not disputed between the parties, or may be acknowledged by adding up the whole purport of the pleadings to the statements in Gap's evidence of Nos. 32 through 62, 78, and Eul's evidence of No. 2 through 6,8 through 14, and 16 (including evidence with a serial number):

(1) A general form, etc. of an irregular gold bullion transaction for the purpose of tax evasion

(A) According to Article 11(1)1 of the Value-Added Tax Act, the zero-rate tax rate shall apply to the supply of exported goods. In addition, according to Article 24(2)1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 17827, Dec. 30, 2002; 2003. from July 1, 2003; 2003.) Article 24(2)1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 17827, Jul. 1, 2002; 2003. 30, the same shall apply to the case where gold bullion is supplied by gold bullion wholesalers on the basis of export-related documents after obtaining a written confirmation of purchase from the head of foreign exchange bank and obtaining a recommendation from the gold bullion wholesalers on the basis of its import-related documents.

(B) Such abuse of the value-added tax rate or tax exemption system, thereby importing gold bullion and distributing it as zero-rate or tax exemption through multiple stages wholesalers, is converted to the so-called so-called so-called "large Carbon Business" (the company with no economic ability, but with the intention of evading tax, is called "large Carbon Business" because it has discontinued its business with the knowledge of tax burden and discontinued its business), and exports the value-added tax collected by "large Carbon Business" through multiple stages wholesalers, and the so-called "large Carbon Business" in the form of "large Carbon Business," which was refunded the unpaid value-added tax exemption system from around 202 to the precious metal business located in Seoul, especially from around 2002. It is further detailed about the form of "large Carbon Business," which was implemented under the value-added tax exemption system, as follows.

1) On credit, gold bullion is distributed through the stages of 'foreign enterprises' ? importer ? tax-free wholesale ? tax-free wholesale ? tax-free wholesale ? taxation-free wholesale ? taxation-free wholesale ? ? export ? foreign enterprises. The transaction price is paid in sequence from the export company to the import company in the reverse direction, but in particular, the taxable wholesalers only issue a tax invoice at 35 e.g. at the specific company’s direction, but there are many cases where gold bullions do not actually trade or transport gold bullion.

2) After purchasing gold bullion as a tax-free gold and selling it as a tax-free gold, the "exploiting enterprise" sells gold bullion with a price lower than the purchase price by withdrawing, concealing, and closing its profit within a short period. However, since the value-added tax added to the value-added tax is higher than the purchase price, and the value-added tax collected by adding the value-added tax is not paid, the difference between the purchase price and the purchase price is expected to be significant. Meanwhile, the value-added tax collected by the "exploiting enterprise" is successively transferred by the method of deducting the input tax by using the tax invoice delivered by the immediately preceding phase enterprise. Accordingly, the exporter's refund from the country after exporting the zero-rate tax rate is the source of the value-added tax not paid by the "exploiting enterprise", which is a substantial portion of the value-added tax amount, which is the final source of profit from the "exploiting business". The "expending profit" is distributed to the domestic enterprise in the form of "exploiting profit" or paid to the domestic entity.

(iii)"Exposure business" shall distribute to the greatest extent possible amount of gold bullions within a short period in order to maximize profits, and shall prevent disputes, loss of proceeds, etc. among the participating companies that may arise therefrom, ① shall operate both the exporting company and the importing company simultaneously, ② shall place the former company directly with the latter (referring to the person who prepares for the first gold bullion from the outside of the carbon business network), ② shall place the former company in direct transactions with the latter, ③ shall determine the volume, unit price, and margin of transactions at each stage of transactions, ④ shall be conducted in a very short time from the former company to the exporting company, ④ shall be transported immediately from the latter to the latter, to the latter (it shall not be a formal transport for the purpose of normal trade even if transportation is conducted at each stage of transactions).

(C) If the head of the competent tax office deems it necessary to preserve the value-added tax as a result of the amendment of the Restriction of Special Taxation Act by Act No. 7322 on December 31, 2004 to prevent tax evasion by the above method, the security system was newly established and implemented on April 1, 2005 that allows gold bullion wholesalers, etc. to request for the provision of security (Article 106-3(11)). Since 2004, gold bullion import volume 268 tons, export volume 23 tons, and export volume 233 tons were reduced to 56 tons of import volume and 19 tons of export volume in 205 that the aforementioned system was implemented.

The Plaintiff processed it with 24K or 22 K gold Sunyph (til November 2003) or the status of gold bullion (after December 2003) in Hong Kong as it was in the status of the gold bullion (after December 2003).

(B) Of total 48 trades indicated in each of the instant tax invoices, 12 times are completed on December 2, 2003; 9 times are completed on March 3, 2004; and 3 times are completed on September 2004 when the scheduled reporting period of value-added tax for the first time in 2004 expires.

(C) The plaintiff, "Asia gold HK, Ltd", is the name of the Republic of Korea, and its location is the apartment complex of the housing price, and the above representative avoided the passage of the National Tax Service's staff, with face-to-face reasons for not being able to obtain.

(D) At the time of the above tax investigation or in the court of first instance, the heading ○○○○○○○○○○○○○, the representative director of the said ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○, the Plaintiff stated that the Plaintiff purchased the gold bullion, and that the Plaintiff’s employee brought gold bullion to the Plaintiff, or that the Plaintiff’s employee received gold bullion at the purchasing place. Meanwhile, when the Plaintiff takes out the gold bullion or gold bullion to Hong Kong, the Plaintiff requested transportation to the ○○○○○○○○, five times in total 30 times, and the remainder 25 times was carried out by the Plaintiff’s officers and employees, such as the said ○○○○○○ and ○○○○○○○○○○○. In that case, the Plaintiff returned to the next day

(E) There are cases where gold bullion transport chain ○○S or ○○ Ss are made out of transport lines. However, according to this, it is extremely short time that gold bullion has been transported through various wholesalers from Incheon Airport bonded warehouse, and even as shown below, it is also stated that gold bullion has already been delivered from 'exploitan' to 'exploitan' before it was taken out from 'exploitan', and that it was delivered from 'exploitan' to 'exploitan' before it was taken out from 'exploitan', and that it is also stated that it was delivered from 'exploitan'

(F) The gold bullion that the Plaintiff carried out to Hong Kong on December 16, 2003 was imported on December 15, 2003, and was confirmed to have been re-imported on the 22th of the same month after the said shipping.

(G) The price reported by the Plaintiff while shipping gold bullion to Hong Kong was always lower than the import price of the gold bullion at all times, and was lower than the supply price (the supply price + the value-added tax) that the Plaintiff paid at the time of purchasing the gold bullion, but was higher than the supply price out of the said supply price.

(h) If an international fund or ○○○○○○○○○○○ remitted money under the name of the purchase price to the first-free wholesale company, it was immediately remitted to the first-free wholesale company. In most cases, the Plaintiff transferred money under the name of the international fund or the purchase price to the international fund or the ○○○○○○○ Association after transferring the money, and most of the Plaintiff wired money under the name of the purchase price to the international fund or the purchase price to the said ○○○○○○○○ Association, and the remainder was remitted to only a part of the purchase price on the same day, or transferred money under the name of the purchase price to the Hong Kong, and then, transferred money under the name of the export price.

(i) The Plaintiff’s ○○○○ Fund, which is the purchaser of the gold bullion, shall be traded only with a specific customer, and it has been changed from each other every 1 to 12 months. The ○○ Fund, the representative director of the ○○ Fund, was due to the credibility of the reasons for the transaction between the specific customer at the time of the tax investigation on the ○○ Fund, and the fact that the settlement of the price is completed prior to the receipt and transfer of the gold bullion, is conducting a transaction with the credit between the transaction parties. However, the reasons for changing the transaction party from time to time are contradictory to the above, and the reason for changing the transaction party is for changing the transaction party. In addition, the ○○ Fund stated that it is not necessary to record the contact information because the contact information of the transaction party is suggesting at the time of the above tax investigation, but it did not memory only some of the contact information of the companies that are designated as the transaction parties of the ○○ Fund, and it was found that the contact information or memory of the companies recently designated as the major purchasing party.

(j) The tax investigation of ○○○ Fund was conducted from March 14, 2007 to December 17, 2007 (in conclusion, the ○○○ Fund was suspended from indictment due to the crime of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (tax) at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office on April 17, 2008). From among the enterprises that are being the clients of ○○ Fund, eight enterprises including ○○○○ Fund closed the business during the said investigation period.

D. Determination

Generally, even if there is no direct evidence of the facts requiring taxation, if it can be inferred of the existence of the fact requiring taxation in light of the empirical rule based on the indirect factual basis, etc., even though the burden of proof regarding the facts requiring taxation exists, it shall be deemed that there exists such proof. Therefore, insofar as an indirect fact can be acknowledged in light of the empirical rule in the specific litigation process, unless it is proven that the other party to the disposition imposing taxation is not subject to the empirical rule, or that there are special circumstances that may preclude the application of the empirical rule as above in the pertinent case, it cannot be readily concluded that the pertinent taxation disposition is unlawful (see Supreme Court Decision 2006Du6383, Sept. 22, 2006) and Article 6(1), Article 7(1) and Article 16(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act, and that a person who actually supplied or supplied goods or services constitutes an entrepreneur who did not know of the fact requiring taxation, or who did not know of the fact that he actually supplied or provided goods or services, constitutes a tax invoice or service under the name of the supplier.

In this case, the following circumstances, i.e., (i) the Plaintiff had already known about the gold bullion wholesale business at the time of its establishment; (ii) the Plaintiff’s representative director, engaged in gold bullion distribution process; (iii) the price of gold bullion exported to the Plaintiff was lower than the import price of gold bullion; and (iv) the Plaintiff could not avoid losses without refund of value-added tax; (iii) the Plaintiff’s officers and employees were transported to the Plaintiff through various wholesale business entities, even if it appears that the gold bullion was actually exported to the Plaintiff through the Plaintiff’s domestic warehouse, and even if it had been exported to the Plaintiff, it would be difficult to view that the Plaintiff could have been removed from the Hong Kong market because it was difficult for the Plaintiff to take it out under the name of the Plaintiff’s domestic sales business, by taking account of the fact that the gold bullion was exported to the Plaintiff’s domestic sales business entity’s domestic sales business; and (v) the Plaintiff’s domestic sales business entity’s domestic sales business entity’s domestic sales business entity’s domestic sales business entity’s domestic sales business entity’s domestic sales business entity’s domestic sales business entity.

Therefore, the disposition of this case based on the premise that each of the tax invoices of this case falls under the category of the 'listed tax invoice' is legitimate.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and the judgment of the court of first instance is just, and the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
