(a) The effects of a tax base return on the income of a taxpayer;
B. Effects of taxation taxation imposed by mistake on the basis of erroneous taxation data
Summary of Judgment
A. In the income tax imposed by the method of imposition, which is not the returned tax payment, the income or tax base return is only one reference material when the tax office imposes the income tax, and it does not take effect such as binding the reported taxpayer, whether the tax amount is determined or not.
B. In a case where a tax authority imposed a tax by mistake of factual relations, the determination of factual relations based on erroneous taxation data is not clear objectively. As such, there are many cases where it is difficult to deem such erroneous taxation data as void as a matter of course. However, in a case where it is evident that the taxation data, which served as the basis for the mistake of factual relations, lacks the external appearance, or is unable to objectively prove the establishment or authenticity of the content thereof, a tax disposition by recognizing taxable income based only on such taxation data should be deemed null and void because the defect is serious and objectively apparent
