D. Determination

1) Determination on the first argument

In a case where a corporation did not enter its sales in the account book despite the fact of sales, the total amount omitted from sales, including the cost, shall be deemed to have been leaked to a private company, barring any special circumstances. The revenue of the corporation that was released from the account shall not be disposed of as a bonus to the representative unless the ownership of the revenue is clear. In such a case, the special circumstance that the omitted amount of sales was not leaked to a private company or the ownership of the revenue is clear is against a taxpayer who asserts it (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2007Du3855, Jun. 26, 2008). Considering the following circumstances revealed in light of the above facts and the above facts, the sales amount in this case was leaked to a private company of the CCC, but it is difficult to view that the transaction details of entry and departure were actually attributed to GG, HH, JJ and JJ because it is unclear between the GG, H, and JJ.

① On July 23, 2008, the CCC received 120,000,000 won from FF, and remitted 120,000,000,000 won from FF to HH on the same day as seen earlier. However, HH had no record of sales in relation to CCC except for the sales of KRW 1,210,650,00 in value-added tax return period for the 2008 total value-added tax return period, and there was no clear evidence to acknowledge otherwise.

② The CCC received a total of KRW 80,000,000 from FF on July 29, 2008 to 30.30, and transferred the total amount to GG for the same period as seen earlier. However, GG had not any sales and purchase details between the CCC during the taxable period of value-added tax in 2008, and there was insufficient evidence to acknowledge that the person to whom the said amount was remitted was transferred as GG, solely with the evidence No. 2-1, No. 4-3, and No. 16.

③ On July 30, 2008, the CCC received 90,000,000 won from FF on the same day, and the JJ transferred the full amount to FJ on the same day as seen earlier. However, the fact that the JJ did not issue tax invoices to CCC and FF during the period of value-added trade in 2008, and there was no record that it issued tax invoices to CCC and FF during the period of value-added trade in 2008, and the evidence No. 14-7, A, No. 17-1, 17-1, 2, and 18 alone is insufficient to recognize that the said remittance was reverted to the JJ, and there is no other clear evidence to prove otherwise.

2) Judgment on the second argument

The recognition contribution system for the representative is not based on the facts that such income has accrued to the representative, but it is intended to have certain facts that can be recognized as such in order to prevent unfair conduct under tax laws by the corporation be considered as bonus for the representative without substance. The representative is substantially the representative who operates the company. Thus, even if the representative is registered as the representative on the corporate register of the company, if the company did not actually operate the company, the income of which the company is missing cannot be imposed on him/her (see Supreme Court Decision 87Nu1238, Apr. 12, 198).

However, a person who actually exercises the authority as a representative director and actually participates in the management falls under the representative subject to the disposition after being recognized as a representative (see Supreme Court Decision 2005Du8030, Jan. 18, 2008). The fact that the person constitutes the representative director of a corporation which is subject to the disposition of income by being recognized as a representative is proved by the data, such as the certified transcript of corporate register, etc. The fact that the person constitutes the representative director of a corporation who is subject to the disposition of income by being recognized as the representative director. Despite being registered as the representative director on the corporate register, the person who is not the actual representative shall prove the fact that is not the representative (see Supreme Court Decision 2010Du1816, Dec. 23, 2010). In light of these legal principles, in light of the following circumstances recognized as a whole, it is difficult to acknowledge that the Plaintiff did not exercise the right of representation in the name of the representative at the time of the sales, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge the Plaintiff’s assertion.

① On May 15, 2008, the Plaintiff: (a) transferred CCC’s shares 11,295,985 shares (share 41.71%) to KK, etc. in KRW 13.5 billion; (b) entered into a contract with CCC to acquire management rights; and (c) entered into a contract with CCC to acquire management rights; and (d) recognized each of its representative directors until the company becomes a spin-off as one of the main contractual terms.

② On July 23, 2008, the Plaintiff and EE had direct relations with FF under the name of CCC by entering into a contract for selling approximately 200MT of the instant goods.

③ On December 30, 2008, after the physical division of the CCC’s network communication equipment business part, the ZZ was established as a corporation with business purposes such as electricity, electronic, telecommunications, and computer products manufacturing and marketing after the above goods contract. The representative director of the ZZ was the Plaintiff, and even thereafter, the Plaintiff continued to be the EE and CCC’s representative director until March 30, 2009. (iv) In light of the above circumstances, the Plaintiff appears to have exercised the right of management related to BB’s representative director before escaping from the position of the representative director.

3. Conclusion

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