(1) According to Article 24 of the Income Tax Act and Article 51 of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act, the calculation of the total amount of revenue on each resident’s income shall be based on the total amount of revenue earned or received during the current year, but if a person receives a preferential tax in real estate rental income, the total amount of the amount calculated by dividing the advance tax by the number of months during the contract period

(2) In the case of the instant contract, although the term "right to lease" is used in the contract, the term of "right to lease" is not recognized under the Civil Act, but in principle, the term of the instant contract is less than 20 years. ② The term of the instant contract is not specified, and it is difficult to view it as the term of the instant contract uniformly for 30 years, which is the maximum term of the lease contract under the Civil Act or for 20 years, which is the maximum term of the management fee payment method, and ③ the instant contract is regarded as the waiver of the right to use the permanent contract if the user is notified of the payment of the management fee, and fails to perform it on three occasions. ④ In light of the instant contract as a lease contract, there is no provision on the return of the rent amount for the remainder of the contract period at the early termination, and ⑤ in the case of a charnel, it is reasonable to deem the instant contract as a lease contract under the Civil Act, and rather, it does not constitute a right to use a permanent charnel, and thus the instant disposition to revert the amount of the instant contract to 20 years.
