2. According to the evidence duly adopted and examined by this court, the Seoul High Court rendered a judgment on September 5, 2012 that the amount of value-added tax reduction in the labor dispute between the National Transport Industry Workers' Union and the Chairperson of the National Labor Relations Commission is not the amount of wages included in the minimum wage of ordinary taxi transport workers (Seoul High Court Decision 2011Nu45346) but otherwise revoked the arbitration award (Seoul High Court Decision 201No. 201No. 45346). The above judgment was dismissed by the Supreme Court on February 26, 2015 (Supreme Court Decision 2012222003). The Defendant calculated the amount of tax reduced by adding the value-added tax to the minimum wage calculated in accordance with the wage agreement between labor and management and the employees, but it was recognized that the amount of tax reduced by adding the minimum wage was changed from the employees’ civil petition until December 14, 2013.
