Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 74Na642 delivered on January 23, 1975
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal shall be borne by the defendant.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
1. In its reasoning, the lower court determined that “The Defendant’s taxation on the Plaintiff on the basis of the foregoing provision shall not be deemed to constitute a motion picture, the shooting materials of class 2 and class 3 of Article 1(1) of the former Goods Tax Act (Presidential Decree No. 3328) at the time of the assessment of the customs duties on the goods, which is a motion picture, the film screen of which the shooting or phenomenon has been completed, shall not be deemed to fall under class 2 and class 3 of attached Table 1(Presidential Decree No. 3328) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act.”
2. In light of the language, concept, and general transaction norms of Article 1 (1) 2-2-3 of the former Goods Tax Act, the term "mining materials" refers to materials that have not been abandoned and do not have luminous effects, such as paintings or scopic forests, and the film screen which has already been minated and caused luminous effects, cannot be interpreted as falling under the same category 2-3 of attached Table 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the above Act, although it cannot be interpreted that the same type of photo taken or displayed as "luminous materials" in subparagraph 2-3 of attached Table 1 of the above Enforcement Decree of the above Act constitutes "luminous materials", it cannot be deemed as null and void because it goes beyond the provisions of the mother Act, and the imposition of the goods tax on imported film under the above Enforcement Decree of the above Enforcement Decree cannot be deemed as falling under the "luminous materials" of the above Act, and thus, the decision of the court below that the disposition of taxation on the goods cannot be deemed as null and void if it is not justified (see Supreme Court Decision 70Nu63614, 178, 19707.
Therefore, the appeal shall be dismissed and the costs of the lawsuit shall be borne by the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
