C. Facts and determination

(1) Facts

Game machine installed in a key game room is a game product for entertainment classified as "at least 18 years of age or older" at the Video Rating Deliberation Committee pursuant to Article 20 of the Sound Records, Video Products and Game Software Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Mambling and Video Products Act"), and the method of running the game in the case of using the key game room is as follows:

(a) The user inputs cash in a game machine (for a week, the use of 10,00 won paper money) and conducts the game, and the amount of the input will be attributed to the full owner of the game, but where the user bears a certain game condition, the user shall be paid a few times of the input money as a prize.

(B) A user who correctly predicted a game condition may withdraw or continue to play a game with a gift certificate received as a prize, and when the game is terminated, it is investigated that the user who withdrawn the remaining gift certificate and exchanged it in cash at a merchandise coupon exchange office in the vicinity after deducting an amount equivalent to approximately 8 to 10% of the face value when exchanging gift certificates.

The income structure of the key entertainment room (e.g., the time)

(1) In the case of a customer’s actual payment of the actual value of the imported merchandise coupons 10,0020,000,000 △△6,000,00020,0018,4018,6001, 6002,000,000,0000,000,0003, 2080c10,0004,004,0004,004,000 △△△△6,006,006,006,006,0004,0006,006,006,0004,000,000 △△△△6,000,0036,004,004,004,0036,2036,2880,80

Note) The rate of payment of merchandise coupons (e.g. rate of payment) shall be 90%, and the deduction rate shall be 8% in the exchange of merchandise coupons.

§ 50,00

(C) The gift certificates used once are not used again, and the operators of entertainment rooms use them in the game machine by purchasing a new gift certificate. In the purchase of a new gift certificate, the purchase of a price at a discount of approximately 5 to 10 per cent below the face value, and here there arises profit margins on gift certificates for entertainment room business.

(D) The rate of dividend is not specially regulated, so it is possible to manipulate to a certain degree. However, if the rate of dividend is too low, the owners of entertainment establishments are clearly explained that the rate of dividend is more than 90% due to the decrease of the users, and if the average rate of dividend on a specific day is more than 100%, the number of imports on the day is the number of imports.

(2) First, we examine whether the cost of using the game machine installed in the key game room is subject to value-added tax.

(A) According to the provisions of Article 7 of the Value-Added Tax Act, the supply of services is either providing services or allowing the use of goods, facilities, or rights due to all contractual or legal causes. According to the provisions of Article 48 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, the base of value-added tax includes all monetary values in a quid pro quo-related relationship regardless of the pretext, such as the price, charge, fees, or

(B) In addition, the game business of the key game room is classified as a general game room under Article 2 subparagraph 9 (b) of the Act on the Punishment, etc. of Speculative Acts and subordinate statutes, and the casino business is classified as a tourism business under Article 3 (1) 5 of the Tourism Promotion Act. Moreover, the speculative business, which is an act of gathering property or property benefits from many people and determining gain and loss by an influence method, is stipulated under Article 2 (1) 2 of the Special Act on the Regulation and Punishment, etc. of Speculative Acts and subordinate statutes, unlike the casino business and the speculative business, the game business of the key game room is separately stipulated under the applicable Acts and subordinate statutes, so the purpose

(C) The claimant should be deemed as a kind of “deposit” rather than the cost of using the game room. The merchandise coupon emitted from the game machine should be deemed as a “return of deposit” rather than a gift of the nature of the bounty. Since the principle of the game machine is the same as the principle of the casino game, it is argued that a disposition that deemed the cost of using the game machine installed in the game room is unreasonable as a value-added tax assessment.

In the case of the key game room, the principle of speculation is included in some game products designed to play a game by using data processing technology such as computer programs or mechanical devices. However, since the casino game room differs in the purpose of its establishment or condition, and the method of its use is mainly used for the facility (game machine), it is reasonable to regard the fee as the price for the use of the facility as the price for the use of the service under Article 7 of the Value-Added Tax Act rather than the deposit money.

(3) The details of the claimant’s value-added tax return and the amount of revenue of the claimant determined by the purchase ledger shall be as follows:

(unit:,000 won)

Tax base return of the taxable period, the amount of tax collected, the amount of tax collected, the amount of tax collected, and the other party to the transaction in the game room, 2005.2, 52, 363, 079, 953, 079, 079, 95367, 43206.136, 2277, 158,007, 158,008, 00815, 0815, 081, 188, 590, 237, 95.10, 237, 955

(4) The claimant presented documentary evidence of the amount of merchandise coupon payments, and argued that the value-added tax base of the key game room is that the amount of merchandise coupon payments paid to the user should be deducted from the total amount input in the game machine. However, the game machine installed in the key game room is installed mainly for entertainment by the negative method, the purpose of the user's input of cash in the game machine is to pay in advance the cost of using the game for a certain period of time, the total amount of money invested in the game machine belongs to the owner of the total amount of the game machine, and the user is paid merchandise coupons only when the game conditions are met. Therefore, the value-added tax base is that the amount of merchandise merchandise should be the total amount of the cost of using the game machine, which is the cost of using the game machine, and it is reasonable to deduct the value of the merchandise coupon concerned from the tax base because the merchandise coupon which is paid to the user when meeting the requirements set in the game machine.

4. Conclusion

This case shall be decided as ordered by the provisions of Article 81 and Article 65 (1) 2 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, because the petition is without merit as a result of the review.
