(5) Determination
(A) Existence of withholding duty
Article 4 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, Article 39 (1) and (2) of the Corporate Tax Act, and Article 100-4 (1) 2 and 3, and Article 100-5 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act concerning the calculation of the tax base are applied according to the substance of the provisions such as Article 14 (2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes. Unlike non-specified money trust (joint operating trust) which is wholly determined by the trustee and jointly manages the trust property of an unspecified number of trusters, the method of operating the trust property should be designated by the truster to manage and operate the trust property separately from other trust property. In the case of a specified money trust, it is reasonable to determine the type of income generated from the trust property based on the source of income generated from the trust property and impose the income from the trust property separately from interest, dividends, real estate income, etc. Therefore, if the trust property is designated as the method of operating the trust property, the trust company, such as bonds and securities, to which the trust property belongs, shall be deemed to be subject to withholding tax under Article 17 (1) of the Income Tax Act.
According to Article 63 (1) 2 of the Corporate Tax Act and Article 142 (1) 1 of the Income Tax Act, a corporation that pays interest income under the Income Tax Act requires the Government to submit a written statement of payment. According to Articles 17 (1) 3 and 20 (1) 8 of the Income Tax Act, Article 36 (1) and Article 39 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, even a bond or security interest issued by a domestic corporation falls under the income of a domestic corporation that runs a financial business, if it falls under the income of a domestic corporation that runs a financial business, it is not the interest income under the Income Tax Act
In addition, the payment record submission system and the withholding tax system are different from each other, and therefore, it should be determined in accordance with the relevant law that is based on which the purpose of which income is to be the object income subject to submission of the payment record or the source income subject to withholding. Thus, even if the interest interest of the bonds out of the revenue amount of the finance and insurance falls under the source income subject to withholding under Article 39 (1) of the Corporate Tax Act amended on December 31, 193, Article 39 (1) of the Corporate Tax Act as amended on December 31, 1993, it shall not be required to submit the payment record unless there is any express provision that it is included in Article 63 (1) 2 of the same Act (see Supreme Court Decision 91Nu407 delivered on May 24, 191), and it shall be deemed that the interest on the bonds, etc., "the trust interest of the instant case," which
Therefore, since the part concerning additional tax to be submitted without filing a payment record among the plaintiff's revocation of the disposition of this case is well-grounded, the above part of the disposition of this case is revoked, and the remaining claim is dismissed as it is so decided as per Disposition.
