Main Issues
Whether Article 16-2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Corporate Tax Act shall apply to a stock without listing, where the market price is unclear in determining whether the transaction price is a low-price transfer even if the transaction price reflects an objective exchange value appropriately (negative)
Summary of Judgment
Article 46 (2) 4 of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act refers to the market price of assets formed normally by transaction. Thus, whether to grant a provisional transfer is determined on the basis of normal transaction price, and even in cases where a transaction of stocks not listed on the Stock Exchange is conducted without precedents of transaction, if there are circumstances to view that the transaction properly reflects the objective exchange value at the time of the transaction because the transaction was conducted in a general and normal manner, the transaction price can be deemed the market price at the time. As long as the sale price of stocks can be deemed the market price at the time, the stock cannot be deemed the case where the market price at the time is unclear, so there is no room to apply the provisions of Article
