C. Each disposition of this case and revocation thereof

Accordingly, on January 2, 2006, the head of the tax office notified the Plaintiff of KRW 61,621,620 and KRW 219,469,890 (hereinafter referred to as the “first imposition disposition”) on the grounds that the Plaintiff received KRW 21,231,080 through the final return on the tax base of global income tax, etc. for which the year 2002 belongs, while having knowledge that the Plaintiff received KRW 21,231,080 through the final return on the tax base of global income tax, etc. for which the Plaintiff received KRW 31,676,770 (hereinafter referred to as the “final imposition disposition”).

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 1 through 5, 7, 8, Eul 1, 2, 4, and 5 (including each number), and the purport of the whole pleadings.
2. Judgment on the plaintiff's assertion
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The plaintiff had already registered the business of land trade business before the disposition of land No. 2, and had already been refunded part of the amount paid voluntarily as capital gains tax through the final return on tax base, such as global income tax. However, the public officials belonging to the 00-year-old administrative agency compared to the above facts in the course of the tax investigation against the plaintiff, which caused the illegal disposition of this case. Thus, in order to revoke each of the above dispositions, the plaintiff is liable to compensate for the above losses of the plaintiff.
B. Determination
(1) On the other hand, in a case where a public official in charge of a certain administrative disposition is deemed to have lost objective legitimacy due to failure to perform an objective duty of care when considering the general public official’s standard, such administrative disposition constitutes a tort by intention or negligence of a public official. In such a case, whether an objective legitimacy has been lost should be determined by whether there exists a substantial reason to assume liability for compensating for damages to the State or local governments, taking into account all the circumstances, including the type and nature of gains of infringement, the form and cause of an administrative disposition causing infringement, the victim’s involvement in the exercise of the administrative disposition, and the degree of damage (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2001Da33789, 3789, 3796, 3802, 33819, Nov. 27, 2003).
(2) In full view of the purport of the arguments in Gap evidence No. 3, Gap evidence No. 4-10, and Eul evidence No. 7, the plaintiff completed the registration of business with the trade name "202, April 29, 200," "00, prior to the day when the registration of ownership transfer was completed in the plaintiff's name." The plaintiff reported the results of tax investigation on the plaintiff around November 2005, and prepared the treatment investigation report. The plaintiff did not state the non-party company's business registration number and type of business, but did not state the non-party company's business registration number and type of business, but did not decide whether the plaintiff's income from the second disposition constitutes capital gains or business income. Since the plaintiff's maximum 00 was paid part of the amount paid through the plaintiff's first disposition of business registration and the final return of tax base through the plaintiff's tax base return on global income and the tax base return on global income, it seems that the plaintiff received part of the amount paid through the tax base return on global income and tax base.
(3) However, whether the income from the transfer of real estate is business income or capital gains under the Income Tax Act shall be determined according to the ordinary social norms, considering the transferor’s acquisition and holding of real estate, whether the transfer was made, whether the transfer was made, the size and frequency of the transfer, and whether the transfer was made for the purpose of profit-making and the continuity and repetition of business activities. In making such determination, not only the transfer of real estate, but also the transfer of real estate owned by the transferor, but also all the circumstances surrounding the transfer of real estate before and after the time when the transfer took place throughout the entire real estate owned by the transferor. (See Supreme Court Decision 94Nu16021 delivered on September 15, 1995) The above evidence and facts are as follows. In other words, if the non-party company mainly engaged in the manufacturing and selling of electric machinery purchased the first and second land, but only the second land was transferred to the plaintiff, but only the second land was made by the transfer of the share of the second land prior to such disposal, it appears that the plaintiff company did not have acquired the transfer value of the real land as part of the land.
(4) Furthermore, in the course of the tax investigation, the Plaintiff was a person who had the largest 00 persons, etc. registered as a business operator as a land trading business and did not notify the Plaintiff of the fact that the Plaintiff was refunded after filing a report of global income tax. ② The head of the tax office imposed the second tax disposition by adding the capital gains tax in March 17, 2006, with the knowledge that the Plaintiff received the refund of KRW 21,231,080 through the final return of global income tax, etc. for the tax year 2002, and thereafter the Plaintiff filed a request for a national tax trial on each of the dispositions of this case. Accordingly, the head of the tax office may revoke the first tax disposition ex officio prior to the second tax disposition, but even if the Plaintiff had registered the business as a land trading business and had already received a refund after filing a report of global income tax, the head of the tax office imposed the second tax disposition by deeming that the Plaintiff was not a business income from the second land disposition.
(5) Therefore, considering each of the circumstances described in paragraphs (3) and (4) above, it is insufficient to view that the circumstances described in paragraph (2) above are insufficient to deem that there is a substantial reason to assume the State responsible for compensating for damages equivalent to the tax accountant’s remuneration that the Plaintiff incurred due to a request for a national tax trial. Thus, a series of acts by the public officials belonging to the Defendant, who caused the instant disposition,
4. Conclusion
Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit.
