As a result, foreign tax credit of 10% deemed as 10% regardless of equity investment ratio is applied.

tax benefits to an enterprise which has a large number of equity investments, as it is entitled to receive such equity investments;

This could be prevented.

However, after the enforcement of the Chinese Corporate Income Tax on January 1, 2008, the dividends shall be paid to foreign capital enterprises.

as a matter of principle, the system to exempt the full amount of tax on income is abolished, and thus, the corporation is a non-resident enterprise.

under the circumstances in which 10 per cent reduction rate (20 per cent ? 10 per cent) applies to dividends, or except that equity investment

For a large number of enterprises, the limited tax rate under the Korea-China Tax Treaty is lower than that under the China-China Tax Treaty.

It was taxed to 5% of the limited tax rate regardless of the corporate income tax, and the plaintiff's assertion

An enterprise that is subject to foreign tax credit (not including foreign tax credit) while making a large amount of equity investment;

Under the limited tax rate under the tax treaty, 5% foreign tax credit and 5% foreign tax credit for China

5% deemed as 5% foreign tax credit, resulting in a large number of equity investments;

A Chinese company whose equity investment is less than equity investment is equal to that of tax benefits.

Without reasonable grounds, compared to the circumstances before the amendment of the Income Tax Act, a company with less equity investment

It is very favorable that taxation in China occurs (a company that has a large number of equity investments).

5% deemed foreign tax credit in Korea, even though there was no tax reduction or exemption in Korea

The effect of tax exemption from the economic point of view is that the plaintiff is exempt from all taxes.

Foreign tax subscription deemed to be foreign in that it is not the result of preserving the tax paid to China.

In particular, on January 1, 2008, China's corporate income tax on January 1, 2008

The system of exempting foreign capital enterprises from total amount of tax on dividend income is abolished by the enforcement of the Act.

The purpose of this study is to be more so-called.

F) As seen earlier, Article 10(2) of the Korea-China Tax Treaty provides that a beneficial owner shall pay dividends.

corporation that directly owns at least 25 percent of its capital stock, 5 percent of the total amount of dividends;

In all other cases, each limited tax rate is differentiated at 10% of the total amount of dividends. Such dividends are divided.

Since the differential limited tax rate is clearly distinguishable from the tax credit, the dividends shall be distributed under the case.

The purpose of applying the low limited tax rate to corporate dividends in the differential limited tax rate on dividends.

The low limited tax rate shall apply to a company which has a large amount of equity investment, and more taxation shall be imposed in the country of residence.

It is only to avoid double taxation by allocating rights, and the economy of low-developed countries through tax reduction and exemption.

(b) Foreign tax credit deemed to be foreign tax credit for development

Tax incentives shall be determined by the source country within the scope of the prescribed tax authority.

It is premised that the scope of the taxation right should be reduced by itself, and on such premise, the capital should be reduced by itself.

foreign countries deemed to have the effect of tax reduction and exemption for such investor;

The essence of the system is the part beyond the scope of the limited tax rate from the beginning (in this case, the plaintiff)

The reduction rate (10%) higher than the applicable tax rate (5%) is set out in the Chinese Corporate Income Tax Act.

the concept of tax reduction or exemption in the source country because the source country's taxation right is not applicable.

As such, tax incentives for economic development cannot be determined, the low dividend tax rate under such tax treaty.

It is difficult to regard it as a measure.

G) Therefore, 5% of the limited tax rate stipulated in Article 10(2)(a) of the Korea-China Tax Treaty

The difference between 10% and 10% of the latter part of the provision of this case even if the tax applied to China was paid.

amount of tax equivalent to 5% per cent in China under section 57(3) of the Corporate Tax Act ("China").

Since it cannot be deemed as a "amount equivalent to tax reduced or exempted on the relevant foreign source income"

In this case, the tax amount equivalent to the above 5% is not considered to be foreign tax credit.

Dispositions are legitimate.

2) Whether the principle of trust protection is applied or not

tax authorities name a public opinion list subject to taxpayers' trust, and the taxpayer

There is no cause attributable to the taxpayer to believe that the tax authority’s statement of opinion was justifiable and trusted;

taxpayer has trusted the name of his opinion and committed an act to what extent it is, and the tax authority has made

Where a disposition contrary to a statement of opinion results in infringement of the taxpayer's interest;

The principle of protecting trust can be applied to the acts of tax authorities (Supreme Court Decision 2006 April 2006).

27. Decision 2003Du7620 decided Feb. 1, 201; however, the declaration of intention by the tax authorities is a general theoretical statement of opinion.

If only, the principle of trust protection cannot be applied.

In light of the above legal principles, according to Gap evidence No. 7, the National Tax Service will examine the case.

Around September 2008, the book "Tax Guidance for companies entering China" was published, and the booker is the booker.

It explains changes in the foreign tax credit system due to the enforcement of the Chinese Corporate Income Tax Act.

'A number of Korean parent companies holding at least 25 per cent of the shares of Chinese subsidiary companies received from Chinese subsidiary companies

Current income shall be subject to the limited tax rate of 5% under the Korea-China Tax Treaty and withheld in China.

and through the "direct foreign tax credit" for 5% directly paid in Korea.

E. The difference between 10% of the deemed payable rate and 5% of the actual withholding tax rate under the instant provision

The phrase "which would be subject to the application of foreign tax credit as deemed to be paid to a State tax"

Although the facts stated are recognized, in light of the contents and methods of the above book, the above opinion is divided.

The principle of trust and good faith applies to the third party merely because it is a general statement of opinion of the tax authorities.

It cannot be said that the Plaintiff’s assertion is an expression of public opinion by the Defendant. Even if it is deemed that the Plaintiff’s assertion was an expression of public opinion

Evidence supporting the circumstances such as reliance on the above-mentioned responsible person and committing any act

The plaintiff did not have any effect (the plaintiff established the subsidiary of this case in 2005, prior to the publication of the above book).

In light of the above, it is difficult to deem the instant disposition to be in violation of the principle of trust protection.

Therefore, the plaintiff's assertion on this part is without merit.
