Main Issues
Appropriateness of the decision on the estimation based on the standard income rate for each business type for the remaining amount after deducting some expenses from the total income (negative)
Summary of Judgment
The standard rate of income for each type of business applied to the determination of estimated investigation is calculated to deduct the ratio of income from the total income to deduct the income from the total income, including all expenses required for the income according to the characteristics of the type of business and the enterprise, including all expenses required for the construction business. Therefore, in applying this and determining the tax base and tax amount, applying the standard rate of income for the construction business to the remaining amount obtained by deducting the housing site price which is part of the total income (housing sale price) from the housing construction cost, is ultimately unlawful.
