The imposition of KRW 00 (including additional tax of KRW 04) on the Plaintiff on October 00, 200 and the rejection of correction on KRW 0 (00) on the gift tax on October 00, 200 shall be revoked.

1. Details of the disposition;

A. AAAAA corporation, a securities market-listed corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “AAA”), established leB and currently serves as a representative director by the Plaintiff, and leB’s leB’s leB’s leB’s leB’s leB’s president and registration officers, and leB’s leB’s leB’s leB’s leB’s leb

(b) EEE, which is an affiliated company of the FFFF, becomes the largest shareholder by taking over approximately 0% of the AAAA’s shares from leB and its families around 000 and around 000,000.

C. With a view to finding management rights of the AAA, a leap and AD entered into a contract with the EE on October 00, 200 to purchase 04 won (1%) out of 0 shares of the AAA (51%) from the EE on October 00, 200, and purchase 00.00.00 other shares owned by the EE (0%) in 00 won per share (00 won per share) and transfer leapCC, ED or its designated persons (hereinafter referred to as the “instant sales contract”).

D. Pursuant to the instant sales contract, PapCC and ED have designated the Plaintiff as the purchaser of the AAA’s stocks. On October 00, 2000, the Plaintiff paid KRW 0 (0 per share) to EE and acquired the said0 shares (hereinafter “instant shares”).

E. As to the instant shares, the Plaintiff deemed KRW 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 per share of the instant shares for the two months before and after the date of the instant sales contract, to be the market price per share of the instant shares, and calculated the amount calculated by multiplying the amount of KRW 00 and KRW 00,000,000,000,000,000,000 per share of the instant shares, multiplied by the number of shares, and reported and paid KRW 0,000,00,000,000 as gift tax.

F. From October 00, 200 to October 00, 200, the Director of the Regional Tax Office conducted an investigation of stock transfer with AAA, and assessed and notified the Defendant of the date of calculating the market price of the instant shares under Article 35 (1) 1 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Act No. 13557, Dec. 15, 2015; hereinafter referred to as the “former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act”) and Article 26 (8) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 26069, Feb. 3, 2015; hereinafter referred to as the “former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act”), not the date of the instant sales contract, but the date of the settlement of the price, and each of the two months prior to and after the said calculation date, the date of calculating the market price of the instant shares was 00 won per share calculated by adding 30% of the largest shareholder at the average of the instant shares.

G. Upon the above notice, the Defendant calculated the gift tax base of the instant shares as zero won and imposed a gift tax of ten won (including additional tax of ten won) on the Plaintiff on Oct. 00, 200. On Oct. 00, 200, the Plaintiff filed a claim for correction against the Defendant for refund of ten won already reported and paid, but the Defendant rejected the above claim (hereinafter collectively referred to as “each of the instant dispositions”).

H. The plaintiff was dissatisfied with each of the dispositions of this case and filed an appeal with the Tax Tribunal on October 00, 200, but the above appeal was dismissed on October 00, 200.

[Reasons for Recognition] Unsatisfy, entry in Gap evidence 1 to 6, 9 (including a branch number), pleading

The purport of the whole

2. Whether each of the dispositions of this case is legitimate

A. The plaintiff's assertion

1) Claim 1

The price per share of the instant shares determined in the instant sales contract is set at a normal transaction process, and thus falls under the market price stipulated in the main sentence of Article 60(1) and (2) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, and thus, each disposition of this case on the premise that the said price does not reach the market price is unlawful

2) Claim 2

On the premise that the supplementary assessment method under Article 63 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act applies, and that the market price of the instant shares constitutes the average market price for each two months before or after the appraisal base date, even if the price of the instant shares acquired by the Plaintiff does not reach the above market price, Article 35(2) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act applies to the Plaintiff, who is the transferor, as it is not in the position of a specially related person. Therefore, in order to determine whether the Plaintiff’s acquisition of the instant shares from the EE through the instant sales contract constitutes a low price considered as a gift under Article 35 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act without justifiable reasons, the instant sales contract must determine whether the price of the instant shares was set at a significantly low price under the transaction practice. The instant sales contract was concluded at the end of a comprehensive review of all the financial data and stock price information of AAA for a longer period of one year by both parties, and thus, it cannot be deemed that the price of the instant shares determined in the process is not subject to the gift tax acquisition without justifiable reasons.

3) Claims 3

Even if the existence or absence of “justifiable cause” under the transaction practice as seen earlier by deeming the Plaintiff and EEEE as being a specially related person, the instant sales contract constitutes a transfer or acquisition of shares between an individual and a corporation under Article 89 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 26068, Feb. 3, 2015; hereinafter the same) and Article 52 of the Corporate Tax Act is not applicable, and thus, the application of Article 35 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act concerning the acquisition of shares at low price is excluded pursuant to Article 26(9) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax

4) Claims ④

If Article 35 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act applies to the Plaintiff’s acquisition of the instant shares as it constitutes a low-price acquisition, the date of calculating the market price of the instant shares is the issue.

After the conclusion of the contract, the price of the stock in this case increased to an unpredictable degree. This is a case where it is deemed unreasonable to set the date of calculating the price for the settlement of the stock in this case on the grounds corresponding to the " sudden change in exchange rate after the contract of sales" as stipulated in the latter part of Article 26 (8) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act. Thus, each disposition in this case should be the date of calculating the price for the stock in this case.

5) Claims 5

Article 63(3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that the value of the shares held by the largest shareholder, etc. shall be added to a certain percentage in assessing the value of the shares when the shares are donated by the largest shareholder, etc., and that the value of the shares shall be higher than a certain percentage in assessing the value of the shares if the shares are donated by the largest shareholder, etc., and that the purchase of part of the shares held by the EE from the EE on October 31, 201, which was prior to the sales contract of this case, was made by the EEE and the purchase of a part of the shares held by the EEE, thereby making payment for the price of the total management right of the shares held by the EEE. Accordingly, it is improper to apply the certificate to the value of shares acquired by the Plaintiff through the sales contract of this case, and even if the certificate of the largest shareholder is applied otherwise, the number of shares held by AAA at the time of the largest shareholder who transferred the shares of this case does not exceed 50% of the total number of shares issued.

B. Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Form.

C. Determination

1) As to the assertion ①

In principle, Article 60(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act shall be based on market price principle concerning the evaluation of listed stocks, but Article 63(1)1 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act shall be excluded in evaluation and securing objectivity.

When comprehensively considering the legislative purport that the value assessed according to the method of evaluation stipulated in item (a) should be deemed as the market price, and the system under Articles 60 and 63 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act on the method of evaluating listed stocks, etc., the market price of listed stocks subject to gift tax under the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act shall be deemed as only the average market price of the Korea Stock Exchange per day before and after the transfer date calculated according to the method of evaluation stipulated in Article 63(1)1 (a) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, barring any special circumstances (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 2008Du4770, Jan. 13, 201; 2008Du9140, Sept. 940, 201).

Therefore, as seen earlier, the latter part of Article 60(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act and Article 63(1)1(a) shall apply to the instant shares constituting listed stocks. Since the market price of the instant shares is regarded as the average market price of the daily exchange market price published every two months before and after the base date of appraisal, the value of the instant shares determined by the instant sales contract between the Plaintiff and EEE cannot be deemed as the market price of the instant shares, regardless of their decision process and amount rational.

Therefore, this part of the plaintiff's assertion is without merit.

2) As to the assertion 2

In light of the text of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, Article 35(2) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act applies to cases where a person who is not a specially related person as prescribed by the Presidential Decree acquires or transfers assets between a person who is not a specially related person, and it is interpreted that Article 35(2) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act applies only to cases where both a transferor and a transferee of the stocks of this case hold multiple shares of AA and control AAA by holding them. As seen earlier, the Plaintiff, a transferee, is in office as an employee representative of AAA, and the Plaintiff is in office as a specially related person as prescribed by Article 12-2(2) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act with respect to EE, and further, Article 35(2) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act does not apply to the Plaintiff as long as the Plaintiff

Therefore, the plaintiff's assertion on this part is without merit.

3) As to the assertion No. 3

Article 26 (9) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that Article 35 (1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act does not apply where a property is acquired or transferred between an individual and a corporation and where the consideration falls under the value under Article 89 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act and Article 52 of the Corporate Tax Act does not apply to the transaction of the corporation.

However, "value under Article 89 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act" means: (1)

In a similar situation to the transaction, the pertinent corporation’s price of continuous transaction with many unspecified persons other than specially related persons, ② price of transaction with third parties who are not specially related persons, ③ price of transaction with stocks issued by a stock-listed corporation at the Korea Exchange, and ④ price assessed by applying the provisions of Articles 61 through 66 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act mutatis mutandis. The price of stocks paid by the Plaintiff is determined independently from the sales contract of this case, and Article 26(9) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act is not applicable. Thus, Article 35(1) of the former Enforcement Decree

Therefore, the plaintiff's assertion on this part is without merit.

4) As to the assertion No. 4

Article 26 (8) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act shall be based on the date on which the price of the relevant property is liquidated, and shall cause a sudden change in the exchange rate after the sales contract.

If it is deemed unreasonable to serve as the basis date for calculation, "the date of sales contract shall be the basis date," and "if it is deemed unreasonable to serve as the basis date for calculation" means the case where the market price of the donated property at the time of the settlement of payment is distorted due to sudden changes in factors that can not be predicted or controlled by the parties to a sales contract, such as exchange rates, etc.

However, even if the plaintiff's own assertion, the reason why the price of the shares of this case sharply rise after the conclusion of the sales contract of this case is due to the conclusion of the sales contract of this case, the reason why EE is interested only in dividends of shares of AA prior to the conclusion of the sales contract of this case, and is that the future value of AAA in the stock market was positively assessed by recovery of management right by officers and employees of AAA who actually carried on management management of AAA, and the rapid increase in the price of shares of this case is attributable to the purpose and contents of the sales contract of this case itself. Thus, it is reasonable to calculate the market price on the basis of the date of settlement of price in accordance with the former part of Article 26 (8) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act.

Therefore, the plaintiff's assertion on this part is without merit.

5) As to the assertion 5

Where the transferred shares are listed shares owned by the largest shareholder or largest investor, or shareholders or investors in a special relationship with them, the amount calculated by adding the premium rate under Article 63(3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act shall be deemed the market price (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 2008Du4770, 2008Du9140, etc.).

In full view of the purport of the written evidence No. 1, EE was the largest shareholder holding 50% of the total outstanding shares of AA at the time of the conclusion of the instant sales contract, and it is recognized that the employer of AA had 12.03% of the total outstanding shares of EE and 12-2 subparagraph 2 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act. According to the above facts of recognition, AAAA holds more than 50% of the total number of outstanding shares. Thus, since EE and 30% of the total number of outstanding shares are owned by the largest shareholder, the market price of the instant shares is determined by adding 30% of the total number of outstanding shares pursuant to the latter part of Article 63(3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, and whether the value of management rights included in the instant shares has already been settled is not any obstacle in the application of the above provisions.

Therefore, the plaintiff's assertion on this part is without merit.

6) Sub-determination

Therefore, the market price of the instant shares under the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act shall be calculated by adding 30% to the average amount of the closing market price in the exchange for the two months before and after April 22, 2014, which is the date of the settlement of the price under the instant sales contract. As such, on the same premise, the gift tax shall be imposed by applying Article 35(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act by deeming that the Plaintiff acquired the instant shares at a price lower than the market price, and each of the instant dispositions that rejected the Plaintiff’s request

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
