1. The plaintiff's appeal is dismissed
2. The costs of appeal shall be borne by the plaintiff.
Purport of claim
Purpose of appeal and appeal
The judgment of the first instance shall be revoked. The disposition of imposition of gift tax of KRW 856,211,830 against the plaintiff on June 1, 2005 by the defendant shall be revoked.
Reasons
1. The reasoning for the court's explanation concerning this case is that the part of "(2) of the judgment of March 1, 200 in the court of first instance other than the part of the "(3..............." below is the same as the part of the reasoning for the judgment of the court of first instance, and therefore, it is cited in accordance with Article 8(2) of the Administrative Litigation Act and Article 4
(Fed part)
“(2) However, the Plaintiff’s transfer of KRW 1,283,373,150 to ○○○○○○○ from March 10, 1995 to January 16, 2002 is recognized as above. However, the Plaintiff asserts that the Plaintiff’s transfer of KRW 1,283,373,150 to ○○○○○○○○○○○ was much more than 2.8 billion if the Plaintiff’s transfer of money to ○○○○○○○○○○ was consistent with the check, etc., on the other hand, the Plaintiff’s testimony to ○○○○○○○○○○○○ was not trust, and accordingly, it is difficult to acknowledge that the Plaintiff’s transfer of money to ○○○○○○○○○○○○, as in light of the above fact that the Plaintiff’s transfer of money was insufficient, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge otherwise between the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff’s transfer of money and the Plaintiff’s transfer of money to ○○○○○○○○.
Along with the Plaintiff’s recognition that the Plaintiff lent KRW 1,283,373,150 to Kim ○, ○○. However, since Kim ○○ paid KRW 1,295,515,484 to the Plaintiff in addition to the key amount in this case, the key amount in this case cannot be deemed to have received a loan to Kim ○ as alleged by the Plaintiff. In addition, in full view of the purport of the arguments in the evidence No. 2-2 and No. 15, Kim ○○ acquired KRW 4,251,00 from the transfer of the land in this case, but the Plaintiff did not pay KRW 2,133,970,000 from the transfer of the land in this case while he did not pay KRW 2,133,970,00, and as a result, Kim ○○ is recognized to have no ability to pay the capital gains tax in its insolvent status. In light of this, Kim ○○ appears to have been a donation to the Plaintiff for the purpose of evading the capital gains tax.
Therefore, the Defendant’s disposition of this case that imposed gift tax on the Plaintiff by deeming the key amount of this case to be donated to the Plaintiff by Kim ○○.
2. If so, the plaintiff's claim shall be dismissed as it is without merit, and the judgment of the court of first instance shall be just, and the plaintiff's appeal shall be dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.

○ Article 2 Gift Tax Taxables
(1) In case where, owing to a donation by a third party (excluding a donation becoming effective upon the death of a donor; hereinafter the same shall apply), there exists donated property on the donation date falling under one of the following subparagraphs, gift tax shall be levied, pursuant to this Act, on such donated property
1. Where a person who acquires property by donation from another person (hereinafter referred to as a " donee") is a resident (including a non-profit corporation, the head office or main office of which is located in Korea; hereafter the same shall apply in this paragraph and Articles 54 and 59), all of the donated property which the resident has donated;

3. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff principal
The plaintiff married with Kim ○ in around 1975, but from around 1997 to around 1997, the plaintiff got separate from Kim ○, Kim ○, and Kim ○ in several separate ways. From around March 1995 to around 2002 before and after the above separate occupation, the plaintiff lent approximately KRW 2.8 billion to Kim ○ in the aggregate of the civil and criminal litigation costs related to the dispute between the local buyers and the purchase price of the land in this case and the above purchase process. The key issue amount of this case paid to the plaintiff by Kim ○ was merely a repayment of the above loan. Thus, the disposition of this case imposing gift tax on the plaintiff is unlawful, since the key issue amount of this case falls under the repayment of the existing debt.
(b) Fact of recognition;
(1) The plaintiff, around March 2005, was divorced by two children by marriage with Kim○-○, around 1975.
(2) As seen earlier, the Plaintiff received the instant key payment from Kim○○○, and all of them were repaid for borrowed money or paid as an auction deposit for acquired real estate.
(3) The amount that the Plaintiff remitted to Kim ○ from March 1995 to 2002 is KRW 1,283,373,150 as shown in the attached Table 1.
(4) The amount remitted by Kim○ to the Plaintiff from March 1999 to June 2004 is KRW 1,295,515,484 as shown in the separate sheet No. 2.
Evidence A 2-2, Evidence A 12-1 through 3, Evidence A 13-1 through 4, Evidence A 14, 15-1, 2, Eul 1 through 12, Evidence A 13-1, 2, and Eul 13-2, and the purport of the whole pleadings.
C. Determination
(1) The burden of proof on the existence of a taxable fact is against the tax authority, so the fact of donation of property, which is the requirement for the imposition of gift tax, is proved by the tax authority in principle, but if it is revealed in the course of litigation that the facts of taxation are proved in light of the examination rules, it cannot be deemed an illegal disposition that does not meet the taxation requirement on the disposition imposing tax, unless it proves such circumstances in the process of litigation, and if it is revealed that the deposit or funds in the name of the person recognized as a donor by the tax authority are deposited in the name of the taxpayer, the deposit shall be presumed to have been increased by the taxpayer. In addition, as recognized earlier, since all of the amount of the issue amount of this case was deposited in the account of the plaintiff, which is the husband, and used for the plaintiff, the amount of the above issue amount may be presumed to have been donated to the plaintiff by Kim○-○.
(2) From among approximately 2.8 billion won claimed by the Plaintiff to be lent to Kim○○, the amount confirmed to be deposited in addition to the key amount in this case is KRW 1,283,373,150, and the amount confirmed to be deposited by Kim○○ in addition to the key amount in this case is 1,295,515,484 as seen earlier. In light of the above, it is difficult to recognize that the Plaintiff lent the claimed amount to Kim○○, in light of the situation where the Plaintiff and Kim○○, frequently entered and withdrawn from time to time, and even if the Plaintiff recognized that the Plaintiff lent KRW 1,283,373,150 to Kim○○, he paid KRW 1,295,515,484 to the Plaintiff in addition to the key amount in this case, even if the Plaintiff recognized that the Plaintiff lent KRW 1,283,373,150 to Kim○○, ○, as well as the key issue in this case, the Plaintiff’s assertion that the key amount in this case is groundless is groundless.
In addition, according to the evidence Nos. 2-2 and 15 of Eul evidence Nos. 2-2 and 15, Kim ○ obtained gains from the transfer of the instant land, but he did not pay capital gains tax of KRW 4,251,00,000 to the Plaintiff, and at present, he can be recognized that the Plaintiff did not have the ability to pay capital gains tax in the state of personal history, with the aim of evading the above tax payment. In short, Kim ○ seems to have raised the issue amount of this case to the Plaintiff for the purpose of evading the above tax payment.
Therefore, it is reasonable to deem that the issue amount of this case is to be donated to the Plaintiff by Kim○○, and the Defendant’s disposition imposing gift tax on the Plaintiff on the same ground is lawful.
4. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim seeking revocation is dismissed on the premise that the disposition of this case is unlawful, since it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
