C.

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 1's evidence 1. 2. Gap 2, Gap 15's evidence 1 to 4. Gap 16, Gap 19's evidence 1 to 8, and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether a disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiffs' assertion

Each disposition of this case is unlawful for the following reasons.

(1) The Ggim○ issued the instant shares and capital increase with the use of the Plaintiffs’ name stolen, not by title trust to the Plaintiffs.

(2) Even if at the time of the declaration of corporate tax by the foreign company, the Plaintiffs were stated in the statement of changes in shares or the audit report as shareholders, as the non-party company did not keep the register of shareholders, and thus, it cannot be deemed that the title trust was made with respect to the shares of this case.

(3) Even if the family company Kim ○, a title trust of the instant shares to the Plaintiffs, this is limited to the number of promoters required under the Commercial Act at the time of establishment of Kim ○, and it is not for the purpose of tax avoidance, and it is not for the purpose of tax avoidance. Therefore, it cannot be deemed as a donation pursuant to Article 41-2(1) proviso of the former Inheritance Tax Act.

(4)In addition, the plaintiffs' expression of title trust is due to the mistake of motive caused by Kim○○○, and the plaintiffs' cancellation of such declaration around November 7, 2006 shall not be deemed to have the effect of title trust.

(5) Article 41-2 of the former Inheritance Tax Act, which is a basis provision for each disposition of the instant case, is contrary to the principle of no taxation without law or the principle of fair burden in that it is deemed that the donation is not a real donation.

(b) Related statutes;

It is as shown in the attached Form.

C. Determination

(1) Whether Gegim○ used the plaintiffs' names by theft

The testimony of the plaintiffs and the witness ○○○ alone lack of evidence to deem that Kim○ used the plaintiffs’ name in relation to the shares in this case, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge otherwise. Rather, comprehensively taking account of the overall purport of the pleadings in each statement Nos. 4 and 5, the plaintiffs prepared a loan certificate stating that the plaintiffs borrowed the amount equivalent to the amount paid from Kim○○ in relation to the capital increase issued on February 2, 2000. After being investigated by the mid-gu regional tax office in relation to the instant case, on July 29, 2002, the plaintiff △△△△△△ on July 26, 2002 stated to the effect that the plaintiff ○○ was notified of the capital increase of the non-party company on July 25, 2002, the plaintiff △△△△△△ was informed of the fact that the non-party company was notified by Kim○○ on the 25th day of the same month. In light of these facts

Therefore, this part of the plaintiffs' assertion is without merit.

(2) Whether the title trust is not made due to the absence of the register of shareholders

Comprehensively taking account of the overall purport of arguments in evidence Nos. 3, 4, and 12-1, 2, 13, and 14 of evidence Nos. 12-1, 12-2, 13, and 14, the facts that the plaintiffs registered as shareholders according to the details of changes in shares as seen earlier in the register of shareholders of the non-party company on July 21, 1988 and May 13, 1993, and facts that the minutes of the non-party company's temporary general meeting of shareholders held on January 20, 200 are attached to the list of shareholders that the plaintiffs registered as shareholders. In light of these facts, it is reasonable to deem that the shares of this case were registered under the names of the plaintiffs on the register of shareholders.

(3) Whether the whole ○ had no purpose of tax avoidance

① At the time of the incorporation of the non-party company, ○○○ owned 7,000 shares that amount to 10,000% of the total shares generated from the non-party company under its own name, and most of the remaining shares were in the name of the plaintiffs. At the time, the plaintiffs’ shareholding ratio was 10% in the case of the plaintiff ○○○ in the case of the plaintiff ○○○○, 4% in the case of the plaintiff ○○, 2% in the case of the plaintiff △△△△△, and △△△△, respectively. ② Since the non-party company’s shares increase twice thereafter, there was no change in the shareholding ratio up to the date of incorporation. ③ The fact that the non-party company did not withhold taxes or paid dividends once until the date of its incorporation, or that there was no dispute between the parties. In light of the above facts, it cannot be deemed that there was a legitimate purpose to deem otherwise to have been an oligopolistic shareholder under the provisions of the Local Tax Act or under the provisions of the Local Tax Act to continue to hold shares in title Trust.

On the other hand, the defendants asserted that the surplus carried forward by the non-party company has been continuously increased by KRW 4,580,121,825,940 in 200, KRW 4,020, KRW 243,350 in 201, KRW 4,344, KRW 714, KRW 414, KRW 4414, KRW 2003, KRW 4,512, KRW 350,716 in 2004, KRW 4,580,00 in 204, and KRW 4,898,48, KRW 480,995 in 205. However, the non-party company is a de facto one of the non-party Kim○○○○○, and thus it is possible to actually distribute it as earned surplus, unlike the external disclosure, it cannot be viewed as a different purpose of tax avoidance.

Therefore, even if the plaintiffs received the title trust of the shares of this case from Kim ○○, it is not deemed that the plaintiffs received the value of the shares pursuant to the proviso of Article 41-2 (1) 1 of the former Inheritance Tax Act due to the lack of the purpose of the tax conference. Therefore, each of the dispositions of this case imposing gift tax on the plaintiffs on different premise should be revoked because it is unlawful not to examine

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiffs' claims are reasonable, and it is decided as per Disposition by admitting them.
