2. The assertion and judgment

A. The plaintiff's assertion

In the business year 2010 where the ○ Electric Complex Business did not recover the short-term loans in this case, the Plaintiff was the representative director in the name of the ○ Electric Complex Business that had been subcontracted part of the construction work, and the actual representative of the ○ Electric Complex Business is the Plaintiff’s external third village Park Park, and the affairs such as accounting of the ○○ Electric Complex Business and tax reports were processed by the Plaintiff, one of the joint representative directors on the registration of the ○ Electric Complex Business, around 2010. The instant disposition based on the premise that the Plaintiff was the representative who actually operated the ○ Electric Complex Business is unlawful.

B. Relevant statutes

The entries in the attached Table-related statutes are as follows.

C. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

1) Relevant legal principles

A) Article 66(2)1 of the former Corporate Tax Act (amended by Act No. 10423, Dec. 30, 2010; hereinafter the same) provides that "if there is any error or omission in the details of a return, the tax base and the amount of corporate tax on income for each business year of the pertinent corporation shall be corrected." Article 67 of the same Act provides that "in revising the corporate tax base pursuant to Article 66, the amount included in the calculation of earnings shall be disposed of as prescribed by Presidential Decree, such as bonus, dividend, other outflow from company and internal reservation to the person to whom such income belongs, etc." In addition, Article 106(1)1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 22812, Mar. 31, 2011; hereinafter the same) shall apply.

Each item provides that "where it is clear that the amount included in the calculation of gross income has leaked out of the company, it shall be treated as a dividend to the person to whom it reverts in cases where the person to whom it reverts is a shareholder, or as a bonus to the person to whom it reverts in cases where the person to whom it reverts is an executive or employee," and the proviso to the same subparagraph provides that "where it is unclear that it shall revert" (where the total number of stocks owned by an executive who is not a minority shareholder, etc. and persons with a special relationship under Article 43 (8) is 30/100 or more of the total number of stocks issued or total amount of investment in the relevant corporation and actually controls the management of the corporation, such executive shall be deemed the representative, and where there are two or more representatives, the actual representative

B) The above former Corporate Tax Act’s purport is not to put the representative on the basis of the fact that such income was generated, but to have certain facts that can be recognized as such in order to prevent an unfair act under tax law by a corporation be considered as a bonus to a unconditional representative regardless of their substance. Thus, even if a representative is registered as a representative on the corporate register of the company, if a person is registered as a representative on the corporate register of the company, he/she does not actually operate the company, he/she cannot impose a comprehensive income tax on him/her (see Supreme Court Decision 87Nu1238, Apr. 12, 198). Meanwhile, the fact that it constitutes a representative of the corporation that is subject to disposal of income by recognition is proved by data such as the register of corporate register, etc., and the fact that it constitutes a representative of the corporation that is registered as the representative director on the corporate register, despite being registered as the representative director on the corporate register, must be attested by the party asserting it (see Supreme Court Decision 2010Du1216, Dec. 23, 2010).

A) The fact that the Plaintiff was registered as the full-time independent or joint representative director from the date of establishment of the ○○ Electric Complex ( August 28, 200) to the date of cessation of business ( August 9, 201), and the fact that the ○○ Electric Complex was omitted from the report of corporate tax on short-term loans of this case collected in the business year 2010 while closing its business on August 9, 2011 is as recognized in the preceding 1-A.
