[Ground of recognition] Unsatisfy, Gap 1 through 3, 5, 8 through 12, 16, 17, 19, 30, Eul 4 through 11, testimony of the witnessCC, result of an order of submission of tax information to the director of the OO of this court for submission of tax information, the whole purport of the pleadings
C. Determination
(1) In full view of the following circumstances, it is reasonable to view that the actual transaction price at the time of the transfer of the instant land is KRW 3.8 billion, and the Plaintiff’s assertion that the actual transaction price at the time of the transfer is KRW 2.5 billion is without merit.
① The key land in the instant case and CCC, the purchaser of the instant company’s shares, etc., stated that the purchase price of the instant land was KRW 3.8 billion, and CCC bearing KRW 3.8 billion on the instant key land did not acquire the shares of the instant company or transfer the assets of the instant company, in addition to having completed the registration of ownership transfer concerning the instant key land, (a) there was no data to take over the shares of the instant company or to take over the assets of the instant company (b) (around January 201, 2010, the OCO reported that it transferred the shares toCC).
② If the sale price of the instant land is 2.5 billion won in connection with the transfer of the instant land, there exists a contract stating that the purchase price of the instant land is 2.5 billion won (the contract dated March 23, 201, the contract dated June 20, 2011, and the contract dated August 6, 2011). However, the contract signed on March 23, 2011 is the same and the remaining part except for the contract signed on March 25, 2011, and the contract signed on March 23, 2011, it is difficult for the Plaintiff to claim that the sale price of the instant land is 2.5 billion won in terms of the fact that the sale price of the instant land was 2.5 billion won in consideration of the fact that the sale price of the instant land was 2.5 billion won in terms of the acquisition and sale price of the instant land, and that it is difficult for the Plaintiff to claim that the sale price of the instant land was 10.4 billion won in terms and conditions of the instant contract.
③ The Plaintiff asserts that the value of the instant company, etc. reaches KRW 1.6 billion. However, according to the statement of financial position for 2010 of the instant company, most of the instant company’s assets were 131,084,698 won when excluding provisional payment from the total capital, and the instant company was temporarily closed at the time of sale and purchase. Even according to the Plaintiff’s assertion, waste interim disposal business was possible only in an area where the land category is a site. Even if it was possible to conduct waste interim disposal business, it was extended for more than three years, but it was extended for more than three years, but it was necessary to resume business due to an extension of permission or renewed permission, and it was difficult to view the instant company’s total amount of KRW 900,000,000,000 to KRW 1.6 billion,000,0000,000,000 won, which was excluding the total amount of KRW 1.6 billion,000,000,00 won.
④ Around 2011, the officially assessed individual land price of the instant land was KRW 2.577 billion, and the appraised value of a part of the instant land of J bank’s J bank was KRW 4.2567 billion, and CCC testified to the effect that the instant land was KRW 3 million at the time of the instant land.
(2) The Plaintiff’s assertion to the effect that, at the time of the transfer of the instant land, an estimated investigation should be conducted as long as the actual transaction price is deemed to be KRW 3.8 billion, is without merit without further review.
3. Conclusion
Thus, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit.
