Text
The plaintiff's appeal is dismissed.
The part of the judgment below against the defendant is reversed, and that part of the case is remanded to the Seoul High Court.
The costs of appeal dismissed shall be borne by the plaintiff.
Reasons
1. We examine the Plaintiff’s attorney’s grounds of appeal.
(A) Whether the transfer income tax is subject to taxation
Article 45(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act provides that "in cases where a debtor transfers assets to secure the repayment of debts, a copy of a contract meeting the following requirements shall not be deemed a transfer where a copy of the final return of tax base is attached to the final return of tax base," and it is not interpreted that in cases where a taxpayer claims the transfer of assets for security, a transfer of assets should be deemed a transfer of assets (Article 83Nu120 delivered on May 24, 1983) and in cases where a copy of contract meeting the requirements prescribed in the final return of tax base is not attached to the final return of tax base of tax base, the purport that the transfer of real estate in the judgment of the court below shall be deemed a transfer of assets subject to capital gains tax (Article 45(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act)
However, when the plaintiff and the non-party 1 borrowed 44,00,000 won from the non-party 2 and the non-party 3, they borrowed 44,00,000 won or more for the purpose of collateral, the court below held that the joint ownership should be subject to the transfer of assets subject to the transfer income tax within the scope of the right of satisfaction prior to the transfer of assets, and that the transfer of assets should be subject to the transfer income tax if the transfer of assets is made for the purpose of collateral and the transfer of assets is not made by the due date for the repayment of the loan, but the non-party 1, the creditor, was unable to repay the loan at the due date after the provisional registration was made for the purpose of collateral, and that the principal registration procedure of the above provisional registration was made for the purpose of collateral, but at the same time, the provisional registration procedure was made for the transfer of assets by the non-party 1, 3000 and the non-party 1, 197.
(B) The calculation of gains on transfer.
In calculating capital gains under Article 23 of the Income Tax Act, if there is no preliminary return on the gains from transfer of assets under Article 95 of the Act or the final return on tax base under Article 100 of the Act, the gains from transfer shall be calculated based on the current market price as it falls under the case where the actual transaction price is unclear (Supreme Court Decision 77Nu222 delivered on December 27, 197; Supreme Court Decision 79Nu394 delivered on March 11, 1980). Thus, the court below is just in holding that the tax assessment made by the defendant by calculating the transfer value and the acquisition value based on the current market price on the ground that the transfer of the real estate was not made a preliminary return on the gains from transfer of assets or the final return on tax base on the
2. We examine the grounds of appeal by the defendant litigation performer.
For its reasons, the court below affirmed the judgment below's decision that the plaintiff and the non-party 1 jointly owned the real estate was transferred to the non-party 2 and the non-party 3, the creditor of December 30, 1980 as collateral and completed the registration of ownership transfer, but at the same time, the plaintiff, the non-party 4, and the non-party 5 agreed to return the share of 2415, out of the above real estate to the plaintiff, the non-party 4, the non-party 4, and the non-party 5 for the sale on the same day. Accordingly, the court below's decision that the plaintiff's share of 1,000, 326, 1,000, 1,000, 1,000, and 1,000, 1,000, 1,000, and 1,000,000,000,000,000 won were not transferred to the plaintiff.
However, even after examining relevant evidence, if the plaintiff 2 and the non-party 1 were disposed of by the plaintiff 2 and the non-party 3 for the purpose of securing the claim, and they completed the transfer registration of shares directly in the future, it shall be deemed that the plaintiff 1 and the non-party 1 transferred the above co-ownership shares to the non-party 4 in the future and 100 percent of the above co-ownership shares to the non-party 5 in the future, and there is no evidence to find what is the circumstance and reason why the transfer registration was directly made in the non-party 5 in the future. If the transfer registration of shares in the future was made by the non-party 2 and the non-party 3's disposal of the non-party 3 in the form of realization agreement, only the remaining co-ownership shares are appropriated for the repayment of the obligation pursuant to the realization agreement, and thus it is erroneous for the court below to find that the remaining co-ownership shares are subject to the transfer registration of the non-party 1 and the non-party 2's share will be returned to the plaintiff's share.
3. Therefore, the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed, and the part against the defendant is reversed and remanded to the court below for further proceedings consistent with this Opinion. The costs of appeal to the Supreme Court are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
