Reasons
The grounds of appeal by the defendant litigant are examined.
According to Articles 23(4) and 45(1)1 of the Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 3576 of Dec. 21, 1982), which was enforced at the time of the transfer of this case, the transfer value and acquisition value, which form the basis for calculating gains on transfer of assets, shall, in principle, be based on the standard market price at the time of transfer or acquisition of transferred assets, only on such cases as determined by the Presidential Decree.
