[Based on Recognition] The non-contentious facts, Gap evidence 1 to 3, and the whole purport of the pleading
2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
Inasmuch as the Plaintiff actually purchased goods from AD and received the instant tax invoice, the instant tax invoice is not a false tax invoice, but a bona fide transaction party with good faith, which is not negligent in conducting the transaction of Aluminium without any problem with CCC around November 2010, and not only verified the business registration certificate of CCC prior to the transaction, but also was refunded the transaction amount remitted to the bank account of AD. Therefore, CCC is deemed a bona fide transaction party with no fault in conducting the transaction with the actual supplier.
B. Relevant statutes
It is as shown in the attached Form.
C. Determination
1) Whether the instant tax invoice constitutes a false tax invoice
Article 17(2)2 of the former Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 11873, Jun. 7, 2013) provides that an input tax amount shall not be deducted from the output tax amount in cases where the entries of a tax invoice are different from the fact. In such cases, the meaning of different from the fact is that the ownership of the income, profit, calculation, act or transaction subject to taxation is nominal, and where there is a separate person to whom such ownership belongs, the person to whom such ownership belongs shall be liable for tax payment in light of the purport of Article 14(1) of the Framework Act on National Taxes that provides that where the necessary entries in a tax invoice do not coincide with those in a transaction contract, etc. prepared between the parties to the goods or service, regardless of the formal entries in the transaction contract, etc. made between them (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 96Nu617, Dec. 10, 196).
(4) Comprehensively taking account of the overall arguments in evidence Nos. 2 through 19, (1) the input tax amount reported by the head of the tax office of Korea from 108 to 1, 2010 is 10%, and the input tax amount reported by the head of the tax office of Korea from 2010 to 1, 201 is found non-existent, and (2) the OE-4 of 206-4 was used as the place of business of the ECE industry from July 1, 2007 to 200, and the POF stated that the above land was not leased to AO, and (3) the 2) the POD 2) the Plaintiff stated that it was not able to use the AO's 0-point 2 market, and that it was 0 or less than the 2) the POD 20-point 3 (OJ 2) the sales and purchase price of the POJ 2).
2) Whether the Plaintiff is a trading party with good faith and negligence
In the absence of special circumstances, the actual supplier and the supplier on a tax invoice may not deduct or refund the input tax amount unless the person who received the other tax invoice was unaware of the nominal name of the tax invoice, and the person who received the tax invoice was not negligent in not knowing the above nominal name (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2002Du2277, Jun. 28, 2002).
In light of the following circumstances, there is no other evidence to acknowledge that the Plaintiff did not know that the Plaintiff was unaware of the name of the tax invoice of this case, and that the Plaintiff did not know that there was any negligence, and that the Plaintiff did not properly confirm the location of the business place or business facilities of CCC after the closure of the CCC. In light of the following circumstances, it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiff was sufficiently aware that the Plaintiff prepared the tax invoice of this case if the Plaintiff knew that the tax invoice of this case was false or was committed for about 10 years after the establishment of around 2000, and that: (i) the supply structure and distribution channel of the scrap metal, and the industry’s general form and method, and the transaction situation and risk of the data. (ii) The time when the Plaintiff received the tax invoice of this case was the date after the closure of the CCC; and (iii) the Plaintiff appears to have failed to properly confirm the location of the business place or business facilities of CCC after the trade with CCC.
3. Conclusion
Then, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
