[Case Number] Trial Decision 2012west 3842 (Law No. 17, 2014)

[P] No. 3] Admonishment (type of decision)

[Determination] With the conversion of the Commercialization into the complete comprehensive taxation, Articles 32 through 42 were converted to the exemplary provisions, and Article 42 seems to be aimed at comprehensively including the non-listed type in the subject of gift tax. Thus, it is difficult to deem that the disposition authority erred in calculating the value increase tax base by measuring the increase in the stock value of the OO (OO) before and after the donation of stocks, and calculating the changed value increase tax base pursuant to Article 42(1)3 of the Commercialization Act.

(c)the agency's results of the integrated investigation of the corporate tax of the OOO and the KOOA and the result of the investigation of the claimant's gift tax;

(1) The KOOOO has leased the site and warehouse for golf use in the KOOO to the KOOOO which the KOOOO management business had been a main company and actually distributed profits unfairly to the KOOOOO in fact by transferring the KOOOO business operation rights; and

(2) In accordance with a series of plans that intend to succeed to the management rights of the KOOOOO to the shareholders of the KOOOOO's merger resolution, it shall be deemed that the claimant's vice versa donated the stocks issued by the KOOO and actually distributed profits to the claimant by making them into the second shareholders of the OOO(the KOOOO reported and paid corporate tax for the low-price leased portion of the KOOO site).

D. The claimant appealed and filed an appeal on April 26, 2012 on August 14, 2012.

2. Opinion of the claimant and the disposition agency;

A. The claimant's assertion

(1) The agency has imposed gift tax on the profits on which the corporation has imposed by receiving a donation of the shares issued by the OOOO in a special relationship. Since the OOOO is a general black profit-making corporation that is not a specific corporation, it is not reasonable to impose tax because Article 41 of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (hereinafter “the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act”) is difficult to apply because it is a general black profit-making corporation that is not a specific corporation, and it is improper to impose gift tax on the shareholders of the issuing corporation based on Article 2(3) of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act only on the ground that it is against the principle of no taxation without law.

In addition, corporate tax has already been imposed on the portion received as a donation by the OOO-listed fund resolution, increase in stock value is limited to unrealized profits, and it should be imposed as income tax at the time of dividend. Therefore, this case's taxation not only constitutes double taxation, but also it does not change shareholder's share, and thus a disposition imposing gift tax is unreasonable.

(2) Although the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act does not separately provide for the taxation on the tax on the increase in stock value, such as this case, and the reply made to the tax authority in 2004 cannot be imposed, the disposition of this case imposed by applying the provisions of Articles 2(3), 2(4) and 42 of the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act is unfair as it violates the principle of good faith.

(3) The claimant did not report and pay gift tax on this case by reliance on the established rules which were sent by questioning the tax authorities. Thus, the imposition of penalty tax is unfair on the ground that there is a justifiable reason not to mislead the taxpayer into neglecting his/her duty to report and pay.

(b) Opinions of disposition agencies;

(1) The claimant's assertion is contrary to the legislative intent of the complete universalism of gift tax, and as long as the value of the shares held by the claimant increases after receiving a donation of the property from an OOO-listed fund, the disposition imposed in accordance with the complete universalism concept under Article 2 (3) of the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act is justifiable.

On the other hand, whether or not gift tax is imposed on unrealized profits is a matter of tax policy determination, and it is based on the same taxpayer that no gift tax is imposed on the property on which corporate tax or income tax is imposed. Therefore, it is possible to impose both in the case where each of the requirements for taxation are satisfied, such as this case.

(2) Since the amendment of the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act on December 30, 2003 introduced the complete universalism and subsequently changed the relevant provisions on gift tax on a specific corporation in an exemplary manner, it may be taxed on the gift accrued at the time of a similar transaction without any separate provision, and this case may be taxed pursuant to Article 2 or 42, although it is difficult to apply Article 41 of the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act.

(3) Other rules of the agency may be interpreted as taxable, and it is difficult to view that there is a justifiable reason for the claimant in that the pertinent corporation predicted the possibility of internal taxation, notwithstanding the rules and regulations received by the agency.

3. Hearing and determination

A. Key issue

(1) Appropriateness of the disposition imposing the gift tax on the increase in stock values on the profits on which a corporation other than a specified corporation receives a donation of stocks from a specially related person and which the corporate tax was levied

(2) Whether a disposition imposed by interpretation different from the details of a reply to an initial question violates the principle of good faith.

(3) As a result of the reply to the disposition agency, whether there is a justifiable reason not to cause any failure to report and pay gift tax.

(b) Related Acts and subordinate statutes: see Attached Form

C. Facts and determination

(1) In full view of this case’s review data, such as a request for a trial, a disposition agency’s reply, and the integrated national tax computer network data, the following facts are revealed.

OO

(A) As indicated in the “1. Disposal outline”, the claimant KimOO et al. donated the stocks issued by the KOOOOO which were held on November 26, 2004 through February 27, 2010 to the KOOOA. Accordingly, the KOOOO was a two shareholders of the KOOOOO as listed below at the end of 2010.

(B) On November 26, 2004, the Co., Ltd. reported the stock donation from EOOOO, and the deposit donation from OOOOOO on January 12, 2005, the assets increase profit of the OOO members was reported. The details of the dividend payment to the applicants in the OOOO shall be as follows.

OO

(C) Considering that this case constitutes a donation based on the complete comprehensive taxation of gift tax under Article 2(3) of the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act, and that it is equivalent to “the profits derived from the change in ownership shares or the value of the shares due to the acquisition or transfer of a business, the change in the organization of a corporation, etc.” as an example of Article 42(1)3 of the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act, the disposition agency determined and notified this case’s gift tax by deeming that the difference in the stock value of the company prior to and after the change as the value of the shares of the applicant, namely, the increase in the stock value of the company held by the applicant, as the value of the donated shares (in the process of filing an objection, the donor of the shares issued by the KOOO in the KOO on November 26, 2004 as the OO of the EOO).

OO

(D) On November 6, 2004, according to the "Written Internet Visit Counseling Team-1786", a certified public accountant belonging to an audit team of the KOOOOOOOOOOO and designated as an audit team of the KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and designated under the audit team of the KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO was not a specific corporation provided in Article 41 of the Inheritance and Gift Act, even if a person with a special relationship who is a stockholder of the relevant corporation provides property to the relevant corporation without compensation, it is possible to levy gift tax by applying the provisions of Article 42 (Donation of Other Benefits) to the shareholders of the relevant corporation, if the person with a special relationship with the shareholders of the relevant corporation without compensation, and the provisions of Article 41 (Donation of Benefits through Transactions with Specific Corporations) of the KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO are deemed to have received profits from the shareholders of the relevant specific corporation.

(E) On the other hand, in relation to the internal resolution resolution documents of the OOO dispute resolution committee, in relation to the above questions and answers, if a corporation receives property free of charge from a specially related person (including a corporation) or makes a share of profit through transactions with a specially related person (including a specially related person corporation), and the stock value increase due to the increase in the profit of the corporation concerned, the shareholder (OOO dispute resolution company) has a problem falling under the gift tax due to comprehensive donation under the Inheritance and Gift Act, which was donated in 2004, and there is a problem of taxation of gift tax at the time of OO's possession, OO's cash donation, OO's cash donation, and shares donation, etc. of the National OO president in the future, which were donated to the large company in 204, are expected to be a problem of taxation of gift tax at the time of OO's tax adviser, OOO's accountant, OOOO, and OO's stocks donation, etc.

(2) In full view of the above facts and relevant laws and regulations, this case’s taxation is examined.

(A) First, the claimant asserts that the instant transaction does not fall under Article 42(1)3 of the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act, and that the instant taxation disposition does not have any legal basis; however, the claimant asserts that there is no legal basis;

(4) The case that: (a) it is difficult to establish a comprehensive taxation principle so that no more than 2O's shares can be taxed because the amendment of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides for the following matters: (b) it is possible to newly establish the concept of donation subject to gift tax if the shares are de facto transferred without consideration even though the types of tax are not listed in the Act; (c) it is difficult to establish an example provision on the calculation of donated property by supplementing the previous regulations on deemed donation; and (d) it is difficult to view that there is an increase in the value of non-listed shares to be subject to gift tax for the purpose of calculating gift tax (see Articles 32 through 42) because Article 2 (3) of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act can not be the sole ground for taxation; (d) it is difficult to view that there is an increase in the value of shares issued by the 3O's comprehensive taxation method to be converted into that of non-listed shares issued by the 2O's comprehensive taxation method for the purpose of taxation without consideration of the purpose of taxation purpose of the 2O's's comprehensive taxation method.

(B) Next, even after the introduction of the complete comprehensive taxation, the requesting corporation has expressed its view that Article 41 or 42 of the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act cannot be applied to a black-owned corporation which is not a specific corporation, and accordingly, the applicant respondeded to the same purport with respect to the matters asked by the applicant, but without special reasons, the applicant made a tax disposition by changing its name to be taxable from May 29, 2007, which is contrary to the principle of good faith.

The public statement of opinion that is the object of taxpayer's trust should be consistently and repeatedly accepted by the tax authority which is required to apply the principle of good faith to the taxpayer. The above principle does not apply to the case where the tax authority's expression of opinion is merely a general theoretical opinion statement (see Supreme Court Decision 2007Du19454, Apr. 29, 2010; 2007Du19454, Apr. 29, 201); the provisions and contents of tax-related Acts and subordinate statutes and administrative regulations themselves do not constitute a public opinion expression by the tax authorities (see Supreme Court Decision 2001Du403, Sept. 5, 2003; 2001Du403, Nov. 6, 2004). The response to the claimant (Internet visiting 4-1786, 2004) was made once as part of the general consultation duty of the tax authorities on whether to impose gift tax, and it is difficult to view that the above general opinion statement of opinion is still an applicant's in violation of taxation.

(C) Lastly, the claimant believed the response of the disposition agency, and therefore, the claimant asserts that there is a justifiable reason that is not attributable to the failure to report and pay gift tax, but there is a justifiable reason that is not attributable to

As seen earlier, in light of the fact that the complete comprehensive taxation of gift tax was introduced by the amendment of the Inheritance and Gift Tax Act on December 30, 2003, and it is reasonable to see that the entire comprehensive taxation of gift tax was subject to the gift tax, and that the claimant himself/herself seems to have sufficiently recognized such fact, it is difficult to accept the claim purporting that the pertinent disposition of gift tax constitutes a case where there is a justifiable reason that does not lead to the failure of the taxpayer to perform his/her duty, such as where the interpretation of the tax law provisions is unclear and it is not unreasonable for the taxpayer to be unaware of his/her duty, or where it is unreasonable to expect the party to perform his/her duty, etc. (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Du4732, Oct. 17, 2013; Supreme Court Decision 2013Du1488, Oct. 2

4. Conclusion

This case shall be decided as ordered in accordance with Articles 81 and 65 (1) 2 of the Framework Act on National Taxes because the petition for a trial has no merit as a result of the review.
