[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, entry in Eul's Evidence Nos. 4, 6, 14 through 16, 36 through 38 (including each number), and the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

1) Whether the instant tax invoice constitutes a false tax invoice

A) Article 39(1)2 of the former Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 12167, Jan. 11, 2014; hereinafter “Value-Added Tax Act”) provides that an input tax amount shall not be deducted from the output tax amount in cases where the entries in a tax invoice are different from the facts. Here, the meaning that the entries in a tax invoice differs from the facts. In light of the purport of Article 14(1) of the Framework Act on National Taxes that provides that if the ownership of income, profit, calculation, act, or transaction, which is the object of taxation, is nominal, and there is a person to whom such ownership actually belongs, the person to whom such entry in a tax invoice belongs shall be a tax obligor and the tax obligor shall be subject to the application of tax law, irrespective of the formal entries in a transaction contract, etc. prepared between the parties to the goods or service (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 96Nu617, Dec. 10, 196).

In addition, in general, the burden of proving the facts of taxation requirements in a lawsuit seeking revocation of tax imposition, but if it is revealed that the facts of taxation requirements have been presumed in light of the empirical rule in the specific litigation process, it cannot be readily concluded that the pertinent tax disposition is an unlawful disposition that failed to meet the taxation requirements, unless the other party proves that the pertinent facts were not eligible for the application of the empirical rule (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2009Du6568, Sept. 24, 2009).

B) In full view of all the following circumstances acknowledged by the above facts, Gap evidence 6, Eul evidence 28 through 35 (including branch numbers) and the purport of the entire pleadings, it is reasonable to view that the plaintiff is difficult to recognize that the plaintiff was actually supplied or supplied with the transaction partner as stated in the tax invoice of this case, and therefore, the tax invoice of this case constitutes "tax invoice entered differently from the facts."

① In light of the above career experience, the transaction partner of the instant case appears to be incapable of operating the copper traps sales business, and the transaction partner of the instant case has discontinued its business since most of them were identified as data and had registered its business. Thus, the transaction partner of the instant case did not pay value-added tax of a considerable amount.

(2) On the contrary, the purchaser of this case only did not report purchase to the tax authority at the time of issuing the tax invoice of this case or did not report purchase too small compared to that at the time of issuing the tax invoice of this case, its sales reaches a considerable amount.

③ The purchaser of the instant case immediately withdraws the amount from the Plaintiff in cash when it is deposited. It is difficult to readily understand that the company operating the instant business voluntarily withdraws the total amount of the revenue deposited in the transaction account in cash.

④ New○○, who is a person in charge of the instant transaction, was accused of the receipt and the suspicion of issuance of a false tax invoice, and a considerable number of representatives of the instant transaction partners were accused of the charge.

⑤ At the time of the tax investigation, the Plaintiff submitted the purchaser’s title table, the seller’s title table, the measurement table, the specifications of transaction, the cargo vehicle photograph, etc. with the explanatory material called the normal transaction. However, although an authorized purchase certification business establishment (a certified measuring and measuring business establishment, ○○○○ Dong, 187-5), which is the seller, should have the difference between the officially measured time and the measured time of transaction in remote areas, the difference between the measured time and the measured time of the transported vehicle, is at least the time of the vehicle transport, it is confirmed that the difference between the measured time and the measured time of transaction is within the measured time of the vehicle transport (Article 28-1 through 6, subparagraph 7 of the evidence), it is difficult to view it as the normal transaction (Article 28-1 through 6, subparagraph 7 of the evidence).

④ The Plaintiff’s ○ metal relay table purchased on December 2, 2013 entered ○○ Metal’s ○○ Metal’s (Evidence No. 29), which is not the Plaintiff, in the net weight 16,220 kilograms on December 2, 2013, in the ○ metal relay table of the Plaintiff, but at the time of the tax investigation, the Plaintiff submitted the ○○ Metal’s certificate at the place of business, 15,210 kilograms with the net weight 15,210 kilograms (Evidence No. 31), and on December 3202 on December 32, 2013, the ○ metal relay table at the time of the tax investigation at the place of business (Evidence No. 32), there was no difference between the actual weight 17,00 kilograms and the ○ Metal’s certificate at the time of the instant tax investigation at the place of business (Evidence No. 32).

7) The purchaser of this case did not proceed with the procedure of objection seeking the revocation of the disposition, even though the tax authorities received the notice of correction and notification of value-added tax on the ground that it received false tax invoices. It seems that the purchaser of this case is all satisfied the above disposition.

8) Meanwhile, while the Plaintiff submitted evidence of the existence of the transaction with the instant transaction partner and the statement of accounts, it is merely nothing more than a report document indicating the past fact that the Plaintiff supplied or received a certain quantity of old traps as stated in the instant tax invoice, as well as the Defendant’s violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (issuance of False Tax Invoice, etc.) to the instant transaction partner, and the violation of the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act, etc., the prosecution made a disposition “non-suspect of suspicion on the ground of the lack of evidence” (Evidence No. 6-1). However, such circumstance is merely a mere fact that there is insufficient evidence to acknowledge the criminal facts of the instant accusation case. Thus, it cannot be said that the Plaintiff’s ground for the existence of such data or circumstance does not prove that the Plaintiff supplied or received old traps as stated in the instant tax invoice with the instant transaction partner.

2) Whether the Plaintiff’s good faith and negligence are recognized

In a case where an entrepreneur and a supplier on a tax invoice receive a different tax invoice, in principle, the input tax amount cannot be deducted or refundable. However, if there are special circumstances, such as the entrepreneur’s failure to know the fact of misrepresentation in his/her name and failure to know it, the input tax amount can be deducted or refundable from the output tax amount (see Supreme Court Decision 2013Du6527, Jul. 25, 2013). However, such legal doctrine is based on the premise that the actual supplier and the supplier are another nominal stolen transaction, but it is not applicable to a processed transaction without real transaction.

As seen earlier, the Plaintiff cannot be deemed to have engaged in real transactions. Therefore, this part of the Plaintiff’s assertion, which appears to be premised on the fact that the Plaintiff was a nominal stolen transaction, is without merit without any further review.

Considering that the Plaintiff’s domestic transaction constitutes a nominal transaction, the Plaintiff’s most of the transaction partners of the instant case is a business proprietor immediately before the transaction with the Plaintiff, and there is no evidence of confirmation as to the circumstances leading up to the Plaintiff’s transaction or the representative of each transaction partner. ② The Plaintiff made a transaction with the instant transaction partner in around 2013, and there was a considerable number of cases where the transaction period was concentrated or the number of transactions was less than the short period, and it is difficult to view it as a normal transaction method. ③ Although the Plaintiff submitted the guidance, the Plaintiff’s business registration certificate, photographs, etc. on the basis of the actual transaction with the instant transaction partner, the Plaintiff merely submitted the report document, and the business registration certificate was merely issued to the head of the competent tax office to identify the facts and secure taxation data of value-added tax, etc. The Plaintiff’s mere certificate of business fact is merely a certificate of business, and it is difficult to recognize the Plaintiff’s actual transaction without the consent of the head of the competent tax office or its actual transaction without the consent of the Plaintiff (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 20036.

3) Sub-determination

Therefore, the instant tax invoice constitutes a false tax invoice, and constitutes a processing transaction, not an actual transaction, and thus, the Defendant’s disposition based on the same premise is lawful.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
