Whether a decision on tax base of corporate tax is an administrative disposition that is subject to appeal litigation (negative)
Summary of Judgment
The tax base decision is the prior decision of the tax imposition disposition, which does not take effect immediately, and there is no way to dispute the tax imposition disposition when the tax imposition disposition is made later, and it cannot be viewed as an administrative disposition that is the object of appeal litigation immediately.

Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 81Gu193 delivered on April 15, 1982
Text
The judgment below is reversed and the case is remanded to Seoul High Court.
Reasons
Before determining the grounds of appeal, we examine ex officio.
Although the court below made a decision on the purport that a part of the decision on the tax base of corporate tax in the judgment of the court below was illegal on the premise that it is an administrative disposition subject to the administrative litigation, the decision on the tax base of corporate tax in this case is the prior decision on the tax imposition disposition, which does not take effect immediately, and if there is no way to dispute the disposition of tax imposition at the time of the subsequent decision on the imposition of corporate tax, it shall not be deemed that the above decision is an administrative disposition which is the object of the administrative litigation (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 83Nu12, Dec. 13, 1983). Thus, the court below should have investigated and judged the above fact ex officio, and it erred by misapprehending the legal principles on the administrative disposition which is the object of the administrative litigation.
Therefore, the judgment of the court below is reversed and the case is remanded to the Seoul High Court. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
