2. Whether the disposition is lawful;

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The instant disposition is unlawful for the following reasons, and thus should be revoked.

1) As the Plaintiff received the instant tax invoice from the instant purchaser, the instant tax invoice does not constitute “tax invoice entered differently from the fact.” Even if not, the Plaintiff did not know that the instant tax invoice was nominal, and was not negligent in not knowing that it was nominal, and thus, the relevant input tax amount may be deducted.

2) Since the Plaintiff’s receipt of the instant tax invoice does not constitute fraud or other unlawful act, the Defendant’s application of the exclusion period for imposition of ten years and imposition of the penalty tax for unfair underreporting is unlawful.

B. Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Form.

(c) Fact of recognition;

1) The Plaintiff’s sales and purchase tax base of value-added tax from the second to the first half of 2008 are as listed below.

3) On June 5, 2013, SS was investigated at H customs offices on suspicion of violating the Customs Act and stated the following as follows.

○ Operation of DDR, Inc., Inc., a freight forwarder, had been directly engaged in import declarations in the name of PDR operator and made customs clearance for some small-scale import cargoes.

○ The above PS, WT, UU, MM, Jtech, TTB Man, KK, and V trade are both their family members or the employees of DD personal persons.

It is well known that local logistics companies in China and actual domestic importers do not properly report the price of goods to customs offices, and if they report the true price of goods, it is not necessary to request customs clearance agent.

With respect to 385 copies of the import declaration of the above Pucom (from June 24, 2000 to May 30, 200, 5,479) it is reasonable for Pucom to make a false import declaration as if it directly imports goods from China.

After receiving import tax invoices from the customs collector upon the import declaration, the customs collector issued a tax invoice as if there was sales transaction to the actual domestic importers designated by the local logistics company in China.

Since ○○○-a-comer made a false import declaration to a customs office using the same kind of goods as the owner of various kinds of goods at the time re-combined as one item and made an import declaration, it is impossible to classify them into a daily one by domestic actual importer at this time. There is no separate data that can do so.

There is no fact that he remitted the price of goods to China using ○ Puercom. He was only transported, and the price of goods was settled separately between the domestic importer and the Chinese exporter, and there is no fact that he was involved in this part.

4) Based on the results of such an investigation, the Commissioner of the Korea Customs Service determined that the importer issued false sales tax invoices to the actual importer, after having received false import tax invoices, for the purpose of omitting the actual purchase of domestic importers and evading customs duties, etc. on the imported cargo which the importer arranges.

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 2, 5 through 10, Eul evidence 5, the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

1) Relevant legal principles

The burden of proving that a tax invoice received in the course of a specific transaction constitutes an "tax invoice entered differently from the fact" under the main sentence of Article 17(2)2 of the former Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 11608, Jan. 1, 2013; hereinafter the same shall apply) where input tax deduction is denied on the ground that it is a nominal transaction without actual delivery or transfer of goods (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2008Du9737, Dec. 11, 2008). Furthermore, in the administrative litigation seeking revocation of taxation on the ground of illegality of taxation, the burden of proving the legality of taxation and the existence of taxation requirements lies on the tax authority, so the burden of proving necessary expenses that constitute the basis of the determination of taxable income is in principle borne by the tax authority. However, it is easy for the tax authority to prove that a tax invoice on some of the expenses reported by the taxpayer was prepared without falsity and whether it constitutes an actual expense, and it is necessary for the other party to pay taxes to the extent of 160.

2) Specific determination

In light of the following circumstances, i.e., ① the Plaintiff’s annual sales revenue of KRW 10, 200, 200, 200, 200, 200, 2000, 200, 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00,000,00,000,000,000,00,000,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00.
