In principle, the burden of proving that a tax invoice received in the course of a specific transaction constitutes a different tax invoice from the fact provided for in Article 17 (2) 1-2 of the Value-Added Tax Act, for which the deduction of an input tax amount is denied on the ground that such transaction is a nominal transaction without the delivery or transfer of goods (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2008Du9737, Dec. 11, 2008). The person liable to deliver a tax invoice to a business operator who is supplied with the goods or services by a business operator who is provided with the goods or services pursuant to the Value-Added Tax Act shall be deemed to be a person who actually trades the goods or services with a business operator who is not a person establishing a nominal legal relationship with the business operator who actually supplies or receives the goods or services from the business operator who is not a person who actually supplying the goods or services (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2002Do4520, Jan. 1
In light of the above legal principles, the plaintiff is in possession of the forwarding slips received from the purchaser of this case as seen above, and the change and the driver of the vehicle transporting oil in the forwarding slips are stated, and the amount corresponding to the oil price is remitted to the account in the name of the purchaser of this case on the shipment date indicated in the forwarding slips, the plaintiff can be recognized that the plaintiff actually paid the price and received the oil listed in the forwarding slips. Therefore, in order to recognize that the tax invoice of this case constitutes a tax invoice different from the fact provided in Article 17 (2) 1-2 of the Value-Added Tax Act, the defendant must prove that the other company, other than the purchaser of this case, is the oil supplier of the plaintiff.
However, according to the above facts, some of the sales revenue of EE Energy, JJ and MM energy can be known to the fact that the actual transaction occurred, and the evidence submitted by the Defendant alone alone is insufficient to find that the oil supplier supplied the Plaintiff as a different company. Therefore, it cannot be readily concluded that the Plaintiff’s tax invoice received from EE Energy, JJ and MM energy in the instant invoice is a tax invoice different from the fact. Thus, the part denying the input tax deduction related to the above company in the instant disposition is unlawful.
On the other hand, according to the above facts, the company that supplied oil to the Plaintiff can recognize the fact that it is a third party company, not SS, since SS issued a false tax invoice for all transactions without real transactions. Therefore, since the tax invoice received from SS constitutes a false tax invoice, it is legitimate to deny the deduction of the input tax amount related to SS among the disposition of this case.
D. Whether the Plaintiff is bona fide and without fault for the transaction with SS
An actual supplier and a supplier on a tax invoice shall not be allowed to deduct or refund an input tax amount unless there is any special circumstance that the supplier was unaware of the fact that the supplier was unaware of the nominal name of the tax invoice, and that the supplier was not negligent in not knowing the fact that the purchaser was unaware of the nominal name (see Supreme Court Decision 2002Du2277, Jun. 28, 2002).
In light of the above legal principles, the evidence submitted by the Plaintiff alone is insufficient to recognize the Plaintiff’s good faith and without fault in receiving the tax invoice from SS. Rather, the Plaintiff’s entry in the evidence Nos. 5, 6, 7, 12, 17, 22, and 27, and the evidence Nos. 1 and 3 (including the serial number) as a whole in the testimony of part of the witness Kim TT in the first instance trial, and the following circumstances, i.e.,: ① the shipment slip issued and delivered at the time of supply of oil is transacted through normal distribution channels; ② the Plaintiff did not indicate SS as a supplier on the shipment slip held by the Plaintiff; ② the Plaintiff sent the cargo to Kim TT, an intermediary, and settled the price of the oil, and the Plaintiff received the tax invoice at the price of the oil without fault, and the Plaintiff did not know whether the Plaintiff was an employee of S1 and the Plaintiff did not know of the need to be supplied with the oil at the time of the investigation.
(e) the scope of the cancelled tax amount;
As seen above, the input tax amount related to SS cannot be deducted, and the input tax amount related to EE Energy, JJ and MM Energy shall be deducted, and the legitimate tax amount to be borne by the plaintiff among the principal tax of the first half of the value-added tax in 2010, which includes SS-related input tax deduction, shall be OO members as shown in the attached Table [the details of the first half of the year 2010]. Therefore, among the disposition in this case, the portion concerning the principal tax of the second half of the year 2009 and the portion exceeding the above amount of the first half of the value-added tax in 2010 should be revoked as it is unlawful.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is justified within the above scope of recognition, and the remaining claims are dismissed as it is without merit. Since the judgment of the court of first instance is unfair with a different conclusion, it is revoked, and the remaining part of the disposition of this case except OO in the first place value added tax for the year 2010 is revoked, and the remaining appeal of the plaintiff is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition.
