Reasons
1. Details of the disposition;
A. On August 4, 2009, the Plaintiff established CCC (hereinafter “CCC”) (hereinafter “E”) on March 29, 2013, and owned 140,000 shares (hereinafter “instant shares”) under the name of EE, FF, and GG (hereinafter “E”) after offering new shares on September 4, 2009.
B. On February 1, 2010, under the premise that the Plaintiff transferred the instant shares and the management right of the non-party company to HHH (hereinafter “HH”) at KRW 14 billion, the Defendant rendered each decision and notification on June 10, 2015 to the Plaintiff of KRW 2,594,076,300, and securities transaction tax of KRW 136,556,000 (including additional tax for non-declaration and non-payment for arrears) for February 2010 (hereinafter “instant disposition of imposition of capital gains tax”; and “Disposition of imposition of securities transaction tax of this case”).

Facts without dispute over the basis of recognition, Gap evidence 1, 11, 12, Eul evidence 1 and 2, and the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
1) The stock transaction of this case is conditional trading on condition of concluding a lease contract for second calendars, settling accounts according to the area, and changing the business type of 100 stores. Of the total purchase price of 16 billion won, the Plaintiff’s money was merely 12 billion won, and the remaining 4 billion won should be settled based on the number and size of stores secured by the non-party company. Since the settlement of accounts is not yet finalized and settled due to the failure to complete the settlement of accounts, the transfer time has not yet arrived since the transfer price was not realized as the Plaintiff’s final income.
2) In addition, since the Plaintiff’s transfer price of the instant shares is not 14 billion won but 12 billion won, the said imposition disposition is unlawful in that it considered 14 billion won as the transfer price.
3) The Plaintiff did not make a report by determining that the time of transfer has not arrived, and the Plaintiff did not prepare false documents for the purpose of filing the tax return or used false documents for the purpose of filing the tax return. Therefore, it is unlawful to impose penalty tax by applying the additional tax rate of 40% on the premise that the Plaintiff committed fraud or other unlawful acts.
B. Relevant statutes
It is as shown in the attached Form.
C. Determination
1) Whether the disposition of transfer income tax of this case is lawful
According to Article 88(1) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 10408, Dec. 27, 2010; hereinafter the same), the term "transfer" means a case where an asset is actually transferred for price. Article 98 of the former Income Tax Act and Article 162(1) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 22580, Dec. 30, 2010; hereinafter the same shall apply) are merely a legal fiction of the time of transfer or acquisition in calculating gains from transfer. Thus, in the case of sale, it can be deemed that there is a transfer meeting the taxation requirements of capital gains tax only if the price is paid in full or if the price is deemed to have been paid in full or if the price remains to have been actually paid in full under the generally accepted social norms. Determination of whether the price remains to the extent of payment, the remaining amount of payment, the ratio occupied by the entire price, and circumstances surrounding the remaining payment (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2008Nu1684.
Therefore, in order for the Plaintiff to be subject to the disposition of transfer income tax of this case on February 1, 2010 on the ground that he transferred the management right to the shares of this case and the non-party company to HH in KRW 14 billion, the acquisition price of the shares of this case and the management right of this case must be recognized as having been paid in full, and if this is not so, even if the transferee exercised the rights as a shareholder in real course of management of the non-party company, it cannot be said that the above shares and the management right of this case were transferred solely on such facts. However, considering the following facts, the Plaintiff’s acquisition price of the shares of this case and the management right of this case shall not be acknowledged as having been paid in full, even if he exercised the rights as a shareholder in real course of management of the non-party company in the transferee, it cannot be said that the above shares and the management right of this case were transferred. However, the following facts can be acknowledged in full view of the purport of each of the statements, Eul, 21, 224, 27, 38, and 34.
A) On September 28, 2009, the non-party company participated in the procedure of selecting a developer for the complex development of subway rental facilities conducted by the JJ and was selected as the eligible first-class negotiation for the second two calendars 2 and 3 lines stores.

(B) On January 28, 2010, the Plaintiff agreed to transfer the Plaintiff’s shares and the management rights of the non-party company to HHH in KRW 16 billion. On the same day, the Plaintiff received down payment of KRW 2 billion and received KRW 2 billion from HHH in the second calendar 2 and 3, and paid in full at the time of non-sale.” On February 1, 2010, HH prepared a deposit certificate stating that “HH in the name of the transferor, including the down payment of KRW 14 billion, paid in KRW 12 billion, and paid in KRW 2 billion in the balance to the Plaintiff at the time of confirmation of the contract for the second business right, and that “H will not be refunded in the name of the transferor and 200,000,000 won,” and “H will not be refunded in the name of the transferor and 201,000,0000,000 won, including the down payment,” and “H will not be returned to the Plaintiff. 21.”

Article 7 (Penalties)
Even if one of the provisions of Articles 1 through 6 is violated, Eul shall claim damages against Gap.
(hereinafter Omission)
D) In addition, on February 1, 2010, the Plaintiff prepared a written confirmation of complete payment (hereinafter referred to as “written confirmation of complete payment”) with the purport that the Plaintiff received KRW 10 billion on February 1, 2010 and confirmed that the Plaintiff received full payment of the purchase price and all purchase price of stocks of the company other than the Plaintiff’s “HH” to HH, and issued a corporate identification card, corporate account passbook, corporate account passbook, corporate card, etc. to the Plaintiff on the same day. The Plaintiff, who actually led the instant transaction at the transferee’s side, prepared a loan certificate (hereinafter referred to as “the loan certificate”).
E) From March 19, 2010, the Plaintiff and EE obtained a certificate of content from HH HH to demand the performance of the change of the type of business originally agreed upon or the return of the entire price. On April 16, 2010, HHH stated that “HH paid 12 billion won in total as the price for acquisition of the instant shares and management rights,” and that “HH paid 12 billion won in total from the prosecutor’s survey of the Plaintiff on May 4, 2015.” In addition, RR made a statement on February 1, 2010 that “1 billion won in total from the prosecutor’s survey of the Plaintiff and 7 billion won in total from the prosecutor’s survey of the Plaintiff and made a statement on February 16, 2010 that “HH acquired the instant shares and management rights,” the Plaintiff’s letter of delegation and 12 billion won in total from the prosecutor’s office’s letter of delegation and 2.7 billion won in total.”
F) On April 19, 2010, the representative director and the intra-company director EE, internal directors GG, and auditor FF, who were existing officers of the non-party company, retired from all offices on April 19, 2010, and the new directors and auditors were appointed by the transferee on the same day. On July 5, 2011, the non-party company completed the transfer registration procedure for the instant shares in the name of HHHH, and on April 1, 2013, the tax authority submitted to the tax authority the statement on January 28, 2010, 56,000 shares of the non-party company from EE and FF, and 28,000 shares of the non-party company from GG to the non-party company, and the statement on the changes in shares and equity shares and the statement on the transfer of shares.
G) On January 27, 2010, upon receipt of the request from the SS to acquire the stocks and management rights of the non-party company, the RR received KRW 2 billion for the purpose of intermediate payment on February 1, 2010, and KRW 12 billion for the intermediate payment on February 1, 2010, and embezzled by arbitrarily using the remaining KRW 2 billion for the Plaintiff out of the above KRW 14 billion as the facts charged in violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Embezzlement) (Embezzlement). On February 17, 2016, the first instance court was prosecuted with the Seoul Central District Court. On February 17, 2016, the first instance court rejected the Plaintiff’s assertion that the RR would have paid KRW 14 billion to the Plaintiff and borrowed KRW 2 billion from the said fact charged, and sentenced the RR to imprisonment with prison labor for two years (Seoul Central District Court Decision 2014Da11400, supra).
H) Meanwhile, the Plaintiff decided to transfer to R 16 billion won the entire shares and management rights of the non-party company to R 16 billion won, and 11.3 billion won has occurred after obtaining gains from transfer on February 1, 2010, and since the real management rights have been transferred by means of transferring all corporate cards, corporate cards, and passbooks and preparing a written confirmation of payment for the whole proceeds, it is difficult for the Plaintiff to report the capital gains tax and securities transaction tax on the above income by May 31, 2010. However, it is difficult for the Seoul High Court to conclude that the Plaintiff was not guilty of the total amount of KRW 1.0 billion in the contract of this case and the sales contract for shares by the false title trustee, and that the Plaintiff was not guilty of the total amount of KRW 1.0 billion in the total amount of KRW 2 billion in the shares of the non-party company to R 12 billion in the shares of the title trustee, and that the Plaintiff was not guilty of the capital gains tax and securities transaction tax by means of fraud and cash exchange over several occasions.
In full view of the above facts, it is insufficient to recognize that the Plaintiff’s statement of the written confirmation of the completion of the instant case alone is insufficient to recognize that the Plaintiff renounced the balance of KRW 2 billion paid at the time of confirmation of the second business right among the total price of KRW 16 billion agreed upon in compensation for the shares and management rights of the instant case, and contrary to this, there is no other evidence to recognize that there is no other evidence. Accordingly, the price for the shares and management rights of the instant case shall be deemed 1.6 billion, unless there is any evidence to acknowledge that the Plaintiff was paid the remainder of KRW 2 billion during 20 billion, the price for the shares and management rights of the instant case shall be deemed as KRW 1.6 billion, regardless of whether the intermediate payment of KRW 12 billion was liquidated, and thus, it cannot be deemed that the shares and management rights of the instant case have been transferred to the Plaintiff. Accordingly, the disposition of imposition of the capital gains tax of this case imposed on the Plaintiff in 2010 is unlawful.
2) Whether the imposition of the securities transaction tax of this case is lawful
Article 1 of the former Securities Transaction Tax Act (amended by Act No. 10401, Dec. 27, 2010; hereinafter the same) provides that "transfer of share certificates, etc. shall be subject to securities transaction tax." Article 2 (3) of the same Act provides that "transfer of share certificates, etc. means transfer of ownership at a cost due to contractual or legal grounds." Article 5 of the former Securities Transaction Tax Act and Article 2 (3) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Securities Transaction Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 24697, Aug. 27, 2013) provide that "when the time of transfer of share certificates, etc. becomes final and conclusive and the time of transfer of share certificates, etc. is delivered or received in full": Provided, That where the right is transferred before receiving the price for share certificates, etc. or the right is transferred at a cost, the right is transferred.
In this case, the Defendant imposed the securities transaction tax of this case on the premise that the Plaintiff was fully paid the transfer price of stocks on February 1, 2010, but the Plaintiff was not paid at least two billion won out of the transfer price of stocks of this case as seen earlier. Thus, the disposition imposing the securities transaction tax of this case is also unlawful.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is reasonable, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
