2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
1) Although there are a large number of deposits that do not constitute cash income among the accounts of the instant business establishment, the Defendant’s public official’s statement that did not contain a specific content of the sales fact and would substantially reduce the actual taxation without clear evidence, recognized it as the Plaintiff’s revenue amount on the basis of the Plaintiff’s confirmation document prepared by the defective intent, and this is an unlawful disposition that did not bear the burden of proof regarding the taxation disposition.
2) In particular, among the entry fees for each of the instant borrowed accounts, the amount paid in cash for KRW 00 million on May 20, 2008 and KRW 00 million on February 5, 2010 that was paid in cash on 24 occasions from the same members, the advance payment and the shortage of the amount of withholding taxes received from the employees, and the amount of money paid directly by the Plaintiff out of the operating funds, etc. Thus, it is unlawful for the Defendant to aggregate the above money to the Plaintiff’s income.
B. Relevant statutes
It is as shown in the attached Form.
(c) Fact of recognition;
1) The details of omitted income calculated by the Defendant are as follows:
2) On July 1, 2014, the Plaintiff opened a passbook under the name of his employee and his wife (each of the instant borrowed accounts) and deposited the medical income accrued in the course of operating the instant business, or managed it by directly receiving money from the patients. Moreover, on July 18, 2014, the Plaintiff signed a written confirmation stating that all the amount deposited in the relevant passbook is the medical income amount generated in the instant business establishment, and signed on the written statement stating that it is as follows (Omission).
D. Determination
1) Relevant legal principles
Inasmuch as the tax authority bears the burden of proving the fact of taxation requirement in a lawsuit seeking revocation of a tax imposition disposition, the taxpayer’s account constitutes sales or revenues, and the taxpayer’s taxation requirement fact that the amount of money deposited in the account of a financial institution falls under the category of sales or revenues omitted from the return is a principle. However, the taxpayer’s account may prove that the amount of money deposited in the account of a financial institution constitutes sales or revenues in light of the empirical rule in the specific lawsuit process or indirect facts that can be inferred. In such cases, whether such presumption can be made can be determined by comprehensively taking account of whether the account of a financial institution was used as a principal deposit or management account for sales or revenues, and whether the account has a appearance of sales or revenues, contrary to the proportion of sales or revenues transaction to the account, possibility of mixing sales or revenues with funds for other than sales or revenues, etc. In addition, if the account of a financial institution as a result of the aforementioned various circumstances is established as the principal deposit or management account of a financial institution without any specific type of deposit or revenue, it can be determined that it constitutes an individual account or sales revenue, etc.
(ii) the application of this case;
In light of the above facts and the overall purport of the plaintiff's evidence and arguments, the following circumstances, i.e., (i) if the tax authorities were to prepare a confirmation document stating a certain taxation requirement from the taxpayer during the tax investigation, it cannot readily deny the value of the confirmation document unless there are special circumstances, such as that it is difficult for the plaintiff to use the confirmation document as evidence for specific facts against the will of the originator, or that it is difficult for the plaintiff to use it as evidence. (See, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2006Du8068, Sept. 25, 2008) The plaintiff deposited the amount of medical income in each of the following 0G accounts, and all of the amount of money deposited in the 0G account were hard to find that the plaintiff's money was insufficient to use it as evidence to prove that it was insufficient for the plaintiff to use it as evidence to prove that it was insufficient for the plaintiff to use it as evidence for the remaining 0G account. The above statement and statement are insufficient to support each of the above facts.
3) Sub-decisions
Therefore, the instant disposition based on the premise that there was an omission in the return of the Plaintiff’s revenue amount is legitimate, and the Plaintiff’s assertion is not accepted.
3. Conclusion
Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit.
