The Value-Added Tax Act provides that, in cases where a private entrepreneur newly starts a business, the total proceeds from supply are anticipated to fall short of 48 million won in a calendar year including the date on which the business commences, an individual entrepreneur who has filed a report on the application for a simplified tax application stating the expected annual amount of supply and other reference matters (Article 25(3) of the Act and Article 74(1) and (4) of the Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act, shall submit a report on the application for a simplified tax application stating the expected annual amount of supply and other reference matters (if the application for a business registration states the expected annual amount of supply and other reference matters, it shall be deemed that a report on the application for a simplified tax application has been filed). As such, an individual entrepreneur who has filed a report on the application for a simplified tax application shall be deemed to be a simplified tax in the first taxable period except for the entrepreneur who has another place of business
In this case, on August 31, 2005, ○○○○ was registered as a simplified taxable person upon filing an application for business registration with the Defendant. There is no dispute between the parties that ○○○○○○ is registered as a simplified taxable person. According to health standards as to whether the filing of a simplified taxable person’s application for the simplified taxable person and the acceptance of the Defendant’s application therefor is legitimate, ① the long-term mining income does not have any other place of business that is not subject to the simplified taxable person, and the accommodation business operated by ○○○ does not belong to the category of simplified taxable business prescribed in subparagraphs 1 through 7 of Article 74(2) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 1930, Feb. 9, 2006). Furthermore, according to the former Standard for Exclusion from Simplified Taxation (Public Notice No. 2005-18, Jul. 1, 2005, 2007).

Article 6 (6) of the former Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 8142 of Dec. 30, 2006) provides that "the transfer of business which is prescribed by Presidential Decree is not the supply of goods subject to value-added tax," and Article 17 (2) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 1930 of Feb. 9, 2006) provides that "transfer of business which comprehensively succeeds to all rights and obligations relating to such business by place of business shall not be regarded as the supply of goods, but "general taxable person transfers the business to a simplified taxable person" is excluded.
In this case, the plaintiffs comprehensively transfer to ○○○○○○○○ business including the real estate in this case to a simplified taxable person, which constitutes a supply of goods subject to value-added tax (Article 25(4) and the proviso of Article 25(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act), with respect to whether a general taxable person comprehensively transfers to ○○○○○○○○○ business including the real estate in this case, constitutes a supply of goods subject to value-added tax, and an individual entrepreneur who has filed a lawful application of simplified taxation shall be a simplified taxable person in the first taxable period (Article 25(4) and the proviso of Article 25(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act), and even if the proceeds from supply in the first taxable period to 48 million won or more are over, the first taxable period type shall not be directly converted to a general taxable person, but shall be converted to a general taxable person from the taxable period beginning after the final tax return for the first taxable period (Article 74-2(1)6 of the Enforcement Decree of the Value-Added Tax Act).
