A.

The purpose of Nonparty ○○ is to sell agriculture, livestock, fishery food, processed food, and other industrial products as wholesale and retail and sell them, and manufacture and sell leisure sports products, building products, etc.

B. On June 30, 1999, the Defendant imposed and collected value-added tax of KRW 103,995,490 for the second term portion of value-added tax in 1997 and value-added tax of KRW 40,432,540 for the first term portion of 1998, but the non-party company did not pay it.

C. On October 27, 1999, the defendant, on the ground that the plaintiff et al. constituted oligopolistic shareholders (100%) of the non-party company as of the date on which the liability for payment of each value-added tax was established, the defendant designated as the secondary taxpayer under Article 39 (1) 2 of the former Framework Act on National Taxes (amended by Act No. 5579 of Dec. 28, 1998; hereinafter the same shall apply) and notified the non-party company to pay each of the above value-added tax in arrears and the additional charges and the increased additional charges for three months (hereinafter referred to as the "first disposition of this case") to pay each of the above value-added tax for the second period of 112,939,08, the first period of 1998, the first period of 43,909,730 won for the first period of 198

D. On July 30, 2002, the plaintiff et al. filed the lawsuit of this case through objection and appeal and claimed that there was an error of omission in the tax base, tax rate, calculation basis, etc. The defendant revoked the first disposition of this case and notified the plaintiff et al. to the non-party company's secondary taxpayer of value-added tax for the second period of July 30, 2002 and the non-party company's payment of value-added tax 40,432,540 for the first period of 1998.

2. Determination on the lawfulness of the instant disposition

A. The parties' assertion

The defendant asserts that the disposition of this case is lawful in accordance with the above basic facts and relevant Acts and subordinate statutes, and accordingly, the plaintiff et al. asserts that the disposition of this case is unlawful on the following grounds.

(1) The non-party company was in a Dormant for a long time and was registered as a shareholder of the non-party company as the non-party company and the plaintiff et al. was merely a shareholder of the non-party company, since the non-party Kim ○ was not a shareholder of the non-party company and the non-party company was not a shareholder of the non-party company. The non-party company's oligopolistic shareholder is not a shareholder of the non-party company since the non-party company was transferred to the non-party Kim ○, around 1996, and around 196, that the non-party Kim ○ needs to be a Dormant company. The Kim ○ transferred the non-party company

(2) The instant disposition was made after the expiration of the exclusion period for national tax imposition.

(3) Although the plaintiff et al., the public official in charge of the defendant's public official in charge of the defendant's failure to file an objection against the first disposition of this case, the plaintiff et al. acknowledged the error of the first disposition of this case and thus revoked the first disposition of this case, it again goes against the principle of good faith to the defendant.

(b) Related statutes;

Attached Form is as shown in the attached Form.

C. Determination

(1) Determination as to the assertion that it is not an oligopolistic stockholder

(A) Article 39(1)2 and (2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes and Article 20 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provide that a member of a group of stockholders holding not less than 51/100 of the total amount of shares issued by a corporation is an oligopolistic shareholder and they are in a position of de facto control through the exercise of voting rights at a general meeting of shareholders to impose secondary tax liability on them. Thus, whether a member of a group of stockholders holding more than 51/100 of the total amount of shares issued by a corporation constitutes an oligopolistic shareholder under the above Article shall be determined based on whether it is a member of a group of stocks owned by the majority, and even if there is no specific fact in the management of the company, it shall not be determined that the ownership of shares at the time is not an oligopolistic shareholder. The tax authority must prove that the ownership of shares at the time is by means of data such as the list of shareholders, the list of changes in stocks, the list of corporate register, etc., and if there is a circumstance that a shareholder is no nominal (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 96Nu.

(C) If so, the plaintiff et al. actually exercised the right to 51/100 or more of the shares generated by the non-party company. Thus, Article 39 (1) 2 of the former Framework Act on National Taxes (the appointed ○○ is the spouse of the plaintiff Cho ○○ and a person living together) and Article 39 (1) 2 of the former Framework Act on National Taxes (the appointed ○○ is the spouse of the plaintiff Cho ○○) and (d) bear the secondary tax liability for each value-added tax, etc. attached to the non-party

(2) Judgment on the assertion of exclusion period of national tax

According to Article 26-2(1)3 of the former Framework Act on National Taxes and Article 12-3(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 15968, Dec. 31, 1998), the exclusion period of imposition of national taxes is five years from the time limit or time limit for submission of a report on the tax base and amount of national taxes when the tax base and amount of national taxes are reported, and under Article 18 of the former Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 5585, Dec. 28, 1998), the time limit for filing a report on the tax base and amount of taxes for the second period of 1997 and the first period of value-added tax for 198 shall be January 25, 1998 and July 25, 1998. Thus, the exclusion period of imposition of each of the value-added tax in this case shall be until January 25, 2003 and July 2

(3) Judgment on the assertion of violation of the principle of good faith

According to the records of evidence No. 28 (Recording), Kim○, who is a public official belonging to the defendant, made a statement that the first disposition of this case was cancelled because it omitted the tax base, tax rate, basis for calculating the amount of tax, etc. in a telephone conversation with the plaintiff Cho Jong-○, which is a public official of the defendant, and it is acknowledged that it would be cancelled. However, it is merely the purport that the first disposition of this case is cancelled on the ground of such procedural defect as above, and it does not seem to be to have been cancelled since the first disposition of this case was imposed on the plaintiff et al. rather than

D. Sub-committee

Thus, the plaintiff et al. bears secondary tax liability for each of the above value-added taxes imposed on the non-party company. Thus, the defendant's disposition of this case is legitimate.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the claim of this case by the plaintiff et al. seeking revocation on the premise that the disposition of this case is unlawful, shall be dismissed on the ground that it is without merit. Since the judgment of the court of first instance is unfair on the ground that it is unfair, the part against the defendant in the judgment of the court of first instance which accepted the defendant's appeal and revoked the part against the defendant in the judgment of the court of first instance, and all of the claims of the plaintiff et al. in the judgment of the court of first instance which falls under the revoked part
