A. The plaintiff's assertion
The Plaintiff received oil shipment slips issued by each of the above corporations in purchasing oil from △△ Energy, ○○ Energy, and △△ Energy, and transferred oil proceeds to each of the above corporations through the bank. According to the disposition imposing the value-added tax, each of the tax invoices cannot be deemed to have been based on the processing transaction or disguised transaction, and even if the actual transaction partner is not each of the above corporations, the Plaintiff constitutes a bona fide transaction partner who trades the above corporations with the knowledge of the actual supplier, and thus, the disposition imposing the value-added tax in this case is unlawful, and as long as the oil was actually supplied from △△△ Energy, the value of supply

The instant △△ Energy Tax Invoice deposited by the Plaintiff to the account of △△△ Energy was deposited in the account of △△△△△ Energy, and the money deposited in the account of △△△△△△ Energy was immediately deposited in the account of △△△△△△ Energy or deposited in cash. ② The money deposited in the △○ Energy account by the recipient of the tax invoice was immediately deposited in cash or deposited in several other accounts, and returned again to the △△○ Energy Purchase Agency. ③ The money deposited in the △△ Energy account by the recipient of the tax invoice was immediately withdrawn in cash, and the head of △△ Energy was managed by the head of △△ Energy and thisCC.

(5) Under the tax invoice, the main oil supplier of △△△ Energy, ○○ Energy, and △△ Energy is the tidal energy. Since the opening of the business on August 11, 2006, the operation of the tidal energy was discontinued ex officio by deeming that the actual business was not commenced.

D. Determination
(1) Whether each of the instant tax invoices is false
(A) A tax invoice shall be issued from an entrepreneur who supplies under the Value-Added Tax Act, and a person liable to pay value-added tax shall be deemed to be a person who actually received goods or services or who actually provided goods or services to a supplier rather than a nominal legal relationship with an entrepreneur who provides or is supplied (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2002Do4520, Jan. 10, 2003). A tax invoice entered as a supplier by a person who merely provided and mediated real transactions shall be deemed to be a false tax invoice different from the fact.

(2) Whether the Plaintiff is bona fide and without fault or not
(A) Unless there are special circumstances, the actual supplier and the supplier on a tax invoice may not deduct or refund the input tax amount unless there is any negligence on the part of the supplier, who was unaware of the fact that the supplier was unaware of the name of the tax invoice, and that the person who was provided with the tax invoice was unaware of the fact that the supplier was not aware of the fact that the purchaser was unaware of the name of the tax invoice, the person who claimed the deduction or refund of the input tax amount should prove the fact that the supplier was not negligent (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision
(B) Therefore, the evidence submitted by the Plaintiff alone is insufficient to find that the Plaintiff was negligent in not knowing that the Plaintiff was engaged in the act of purchasing △△ Energy, ○○ Energy, and △△△ Energy, the issuer of each of the tax invoices of this case, and that there was no negligence. Rather, there was no evidence to find otherwise. Rather, the following circumstances acknowledged as follows: ① at the time of oil industry, data transactions were widely spread, and the Plaintiff was also well aware of the actual state and risk of such transactions. The Plaintiff was also aware of the authenticity of the customer even in order to prevent damage caused by the purchase of oil without oil before commencement of oil transactions. However, even if the Plaintiff did not know the business registration prior to the commencement of transactions with △△△, ○○ Energy, and △△△△△○ Energy, or visiting the related business establishment, or having been directly in charge of the business, and the Plaintiff did not know that the Plaintiff did not actually receive or sell the oil at the time of supplying △△△△△, an independent oil distribution facility.
3. Determination as to whether the instant global income tax disposition is legitimate
As seen earlier, the Plaintiff is recognized to have been actually supplied with oil 40,000 liters from Cheongcheon Energy on November 2006. Therefore, Defendant Chuncheon Tax Office’s imposition of global income tax of this case, without recognizing the proceeds from the supply of oil 40,000 liters as necessary expenses, is unlawful.
4. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim against the defendant Chuncheon Tax Office is accepted on the ground of its reasoning, and all of the claims against the defendant Cheongcheon Tax Office is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
