C. Determination

According to Article 89 subparag. 3 of the former Income Tax Act, Article 154(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 17751 of Oct. 1, 2002), and Article 3 of the Addenda of the Enforcement Decree of the Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 17751 of Oct. 1, 2002), where one household owns one house with a holding period of not less than three years in the Republic of Korea as of the date of transfer (one house for one household), capital gains tax shall not be imposed on the income accruing from the transfer of such one house. Article 15(1) and (5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act provides that where one household which owns one house in Korea acquires another house temporarily before it acquires another house, it shall not be imposed on the income accruing from the transfer of such house by deeming that it first becomes a new house within 15 years from the date of acquisition by another household, and that one household which owns one house within 15 years from the date of transfer of the previous house and one house within 2 years from the date of transfer.

On the other hand, the Plaintiff transferred the instant one house corresponding to one house for one household within one year from the date of acquiring the instant two houses. However, the instant one ought to be strictly interpreted according to the legal text, barring any special circumstances, by preventing the requirements of taxation or the requirements of non-taxation or tax reduction and exemption under the principle of no taxation without law. Article 155(5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act provides for the same purpose as the Plaintiff claims, but the said provision applies only to the case where the Plaintiff is married with the person who owns one house and the person who owns one house, as clearly stated in the language and text, thereby owning two houses for one household.

However, in this case, the term "person who possesses one house" under the same provision should be regarded as one house for one household in accordance with the special provisions of the Enforcement Decree of the Act, such as the protection of a stable residential life and prevention of disadvantages caused by marriage. In other words, if one household who owns one house temporarily acquires another house before transferring the house, and later transfers the former house within one year from the date of acquiring another house, it should be regarded as including the person who owns two houses temporarily. However, in order to be regarded as one house for one household in accordance with the above special provisions, the concept of "transfer of the previous house" or the concept of "transfer of the house to one household" should be combined with the previous one, and if the two parties to marriage transfer the house within the previous period, it can only be regarded as one house for one household in accordance with the above special provisions, the concept of "one new house transfer to one household" under Article 155 (1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act can not be regarded as a "one new house transfer to one household" under the same 5th of the previous house transfer.

If so, as in the case of this case, the temporary 2 houses holders did not satisfy the requirements of "a marriage with a person holding one house" under Article 155 (5) of the same Decree, and only if one party holding two houses temporarily married with the other party holding one house, he/she shall satisfy the above requirements under Article 155 (5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act. The general rules of the Income Tax Act, 89-14, which the plaintiff is placed, is an administrative rule that provides for the interpretation of Article 155 (5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act, as administrative rules that issued the criteria for interpretation and enforcement of the tax law.

Furthermore, considering the purport of Article 155(5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act, the Plaintiff’s assertion is to prevent restrictions on freedom of marriage due to the disadvantage of those scheduled to be exempted from capital gains tax due to marriage, as in the instant case, to the effect that the said provision should be included in the case of a temporary 2 house owner (the ownership of a two house shall be the maximum number of houses that are individually exempt from capital gains tax) who is originally scheduled to be exempted from capital gains tax until they are married. However, it is difficult to accept as an interpretation theory of the said provision in light of the principle of strict interpretation applicable to the provisions on non-taxation of tax, apart from the need to consider it legislatively.

Therefore, the Defendant’s disposition of this case, which reported that the transfer of the Plaintiff’s house of this case does not fall under the non-taxation requirement of capital gains tax under Article 89 of the Act and Article 155(5) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
