[Ground of Recognition] The facts without dispute, Gap evidence of 3 to 40, and Eul evidence of 2 to 12 (including each available lot number), and the whole purport of the pleading

D. Determination

(1) The actual owner of the first and second shares in this case.

In light of the following circumstances, considering the facts as seen earlier, the facts acknowledged, and the overall purport of the pleadings, and it is reasonable to deem that the lightCC, as the actual owners of the first and second shares in this case, registered the Plaintiff with the first and second shares. Therefore, it is deemed that the lightCC, pursuant to the main sentence of Article 45-2(1) of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, is deemed that it was donated to the Plaintiff. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s first argument is without merit.

(A) The purchase price of the instant shares 1 and 2 was paid from the purchase price of the Plaintiff’s DD industry and GG pharmaceutical shares in the name of the Plaintiff, and the purchase price of the said DD industry and GG pharmaceutical shares was paid from December 2, 2003 to June 2004 from the purchase price of the said DD industry and GG pharmaceutical shares was 00 won borrowed from the secondary financial right and 000 won borrowed from the individual creditors.

(B) However, it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff was directly involved in a legal act necessary for financing loans and acquiring stocks, since the Plaintiff had been staying in the public interest service or studying in Japan immediately after the graduation of high school and had no economic activity experience, and the property at the time was merely limited to 000 won’s land and stocks donated by GyeongCC. Moreover, it is deemed that it was practically impossible for the Plaintiff to borrow and procure funds of KRW 000 with the Plaintiff’s property and credit.

(C) On the other hand, GyeongCC is a company that has been specialized in stock transactions and acquisition, merger, etc. of companies through them, and OO industry, OOO, LL, BB, etc., all of which are issuing companies acquired and disposed of in the name of the Plaintiff, were working for GyeongCC, or participated in its management rights (such dispute settlement, acquisition attempt, or acquisition), and GyeongCC acquired stocks of the above company for the purpose of securing management rights by using its process information, etc., and it is reasonable to view that GyeongCC directly borrowed funds necessary for acquiring stocks, all of which are loans, depending on its credit and transactional relationship.

(D) In a lawsuit claiming return of short-swing profits filed by DaD Industries against DoD Industries, the GyeongCC asserted that the Plaintiff, the nominal owner of the relevant shares, was not the actual owner of the relevant shares, and instead, it defended only that the Plaintiff does not fall under the major shareholder under the former Securities and Exchange Act on the premise that DoD Industries is the actual owner of the relevant shares, and even if Does have been convicted of the violation of the Securities and Exchange Act, it did not raise any objection thereto, and even in the criminal litigation on whether the violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Embezzlement) was violated, it argued to the effect that the Plaintiff owned the said shares in the Plaintiff’s name when taking over

(E) In addition, in criminal proceedings, as to the violation of the Civil Execution Act and the submission of a false inventory by omitting the NCC’s stocks in subrogation of the Plaintiff in order to preserve the above claim for return of short-swing profits, it is determined that the pertinent DNA industry is an actual owner of the stocks acquired under the name of the Plaintiff.

(2) Whether the purpose of tax avoidance exists

(A) The legislative intent of Article 45-2 of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act is to effectively prevent the act of tax avoidance using the nominal deposit system and realize the tax justice. Therefore, the application of the proviso of the same Article is possible only if the purpose of title trust is not included in the purpose of tax avoidance, and in such a case, the burden of proving that there was no purpose of tax avoidance. Therefore, the nominal owner of the burden of proof can be proven by means of proving that there was no purpose of tax avoidance other than the purpose of tax avoidance. However, the nominal owner of the burden of proof has a clear purpose irrelevant to the tax avoidance in the title trust and, to the extent that it is recognized that there was no purpose of tax avoidance in the title trust, and that there was no tax avoidance in the future at the time of the title trust or at the time of the title trust, it must be proved to the extent that there is no doubt if the ordinary person is not a doubt by objective and supporting evidence that there was no tax avoidance (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2004Du1200

(B) In light of the following circumstances, which can be seen by comprehensively considering the facts and the entire purport of the facts and arguments that were examined and recognized as above, that is, where the title trust of the first and second stocks of this case is not discovered, and thus the Plaintiff is deemed to be the actual owner of the above stocks, the Plaintiff would avoid gift tax, and it is not foreseeable that the Plaintiff would not have the obligation to pay global income tax due to the failure of BBB’s dividends at the time of title trust of the first and second stocks, and there is no other evidence to support that the entries in each of the evidence Nos. 41 through 44 (including each number) alone did not have the purpose of tax avoidance, and there is no other evidence to support this. Therefore, the second assertion of the Plaintiff is without merit.

3. Conclusion

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