Reasons

1. Details of the disposition;

A. The Plaintiff, a key telecommunications business operator, entered into a telephone information service contract (hereinafter referred to as the “instant contract”) with △△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△, a Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “OO”) and a special telecommunications business operator who provides information users with voice information service (hereinafter referred to as “the instant service”), using 060 prior network of a key telecommunications business operator, reported and paid corporate tax and value-added tax on the amount of income and value-added tax under the Corporate Tax Act with the amount of income and value-added tax on the tax base of OOO under the Value-Added Tax Act.

2. Judgment on the defendant's main defense

A. The defendant's assertion

The part of the Plaintiff’s claim seeking the cancellation of the notice of change in the income amount of this case shall be dismissed as it does not go through legitimate procedure of the preceding trial.

B. Determination

The purpose of Article 56(2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes that requires procedures for administrative appeals, such as a request for review, prior to filing a lawsuit seeking revocation of a tax disposition, is to have a disposition authority have an opportunity for inventory and correction by itself, and to have a superior administrative authority take an opportunity for correction based on the supervisory authority, and to reduce the court’s burden by having a superior administrative agency take an opportunity for correction based on the supervisory authority, and settle the dispute in advance, so whether a taxpayer lawfully satisfies the requirements for administrative appeals should be determined by fully considering the purpose of establishing the aforementioned system.

Meanwhile, Article 18(3)2 of the Administrative Litigation Act provides that a lawsuit for revocation may be brought even if one of the dispositions related to the contents of a letter, or dispositions taken by stages for the same purpose, has already been tried by an administrative appeal, without going through an administrative appeal as to other dispositions. Although each of such dispositions is a separate disposition, if it can be seen that a disposition is provided with an opportunity for inventory or correction in relation to another disposition, even if it is common to the grounds of illegality or dispute and the contents of the dispute, if it is judged that a disposition is a separate disposition, then it would be concluded that a disposition is provided with an opportunity for inventory or correction in relation to a certain disposition, even if it is filed without going through a separate administrative appeal, it would be concluded that the procedure and repetition of the disposition can be avoided and that the administrative remedy system will be invalidated.

With respect to this case, the disposition of this case and the notice of change in income amount of this case are imposed corporate tax and value-added tax on the omitted income amount from the provision of voice information service by the plaintiff by wire telephone, and the person to whom the omitted income amount belongs as the representative director of the plaintiff, and notified the change in income amount. Thus, the notice of change in income amount of this case is not revoked unless the disposition of this case is revoked. Thus, it can be seen that the act of causing the taxpayer to go through the procedure of the preceding trial is considered to constitute a case where the taxpayer is deemed to be infinite. Therefore, the defendant's aforementioned defense of safety is without merit.

3. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

1) In light of the fact that the Plaintiff is not a business owner of 060 telephone information service, and there is no legal relationship between the Plaintiff and the information user, and the Plaintiff did not have specific information about the information user, the Plaintiff is not a business owner entitled to directly provide the instant service to the information user, and the Plaintiff does not need to recognize the entire amount of the information usage fee generated as sales. Accordingly, the instant disposition based on the premise that the entire amount of the information usage fee generated is the Plaintiff’s sales is unlawful.

2) The Defendant’s total amount of information usage fees and fact-finding based on the Plaintiff’s sales does not coincide with the information usage fees and the total amount expressed by the Plaintiff, such as OO. The Defendant did not properly grasp the omitted sales amount and issued the instant disposition. As such, the instant disposition was unlawful.

D. Determination

1) Determination on the first argument

앞서 본 사실관계 및 갑 제7호증, 을 제13호증의 각 기재에 변론 전체의 취지를 종합하여 알 수 있는 다음과 같은 사정, 즉 ① 별정통신사업이란 기간통신사업자의 전기통신회선설비 등을 이용하여 기간통신역무를 제공하는 사업인바(전기통신사업법 제5조 제3항 제1호 참조), 원고는 별정통신사업자로서 기간통신사업자인 OOO 등의 060 회선망을 이용하여 정보이용자들에게 음성 정보서비스를 제공하는 이 사건 용역을 제공 한 점, ② 이 사건 계약은,'원고'가 '정보이용자'에게 '전화정보서비스를 제공'함에 있어 'OOO 등'은 '원고를 대신하여' '과금, 징수결정, 청구 및 수납, 정산 및 지급 등의 업무를 대행'하는 업무를 담당하는'정보이용료 회수대행계약'임을 명시적으로 선언하고 있고, 그에 따라 OOO 등이 원고에게 지급해야 하는 정보이용료의 산정,청구 수납, 정산 지급 등에 관한 사항 및 OOO 등이 원고로부터 지급받아야 하는 청구대행수수료와 시설이용요금 등의 산정, 지급방법 등에 관한 사항 등을 주요 내용으로 담고 있는 점, ③ 또한 이 사건 계약에 따르면 원고는 이 사건 용역을 제공함에 있어서 OOO 등의 회사명,로고 등을 사용할 수 없고, 이 사건 용역을 제공하기 전에 원고의 상호, 제공 정보명, 정보이용 요금 등을 안내하도록 규정하고 있는 점, ④ 원고는 실제로 정보이용자에게 이 사건 용역을 제공하기 전에 위와 같이 원고가 직접 정보를 제공하고 통화료와 별도로 정보이용료가 부가된다는 내용의 안내를 하였는바, 정보이용자로서는 OOO 등이 아닌 원고가 이 사건 용역을 제공하는 것으로 인식하기에 충분한 점(반면 정보이용자가 이 사건 용역을 제공받는 과정에서 OOO 등이 이 사건 용역을 제공한다고 인식하였을만한 사정은 찾아볼 수 없다), ⑤ 원고의 정보이용자에 대한 위와 같은 안내는 이 사건 용역 제공 계약의 청약으로 볼 수 있고, 이에 대한 정보이용자의 동의는 그에 응하는 승낙으로 볼 수 있으므로, 원고와 정보이용자 사이에 이 사건 용역 제공 계약이 성립된 점, © 원고는 OOO 등으로부터 이 사건 용역의 공급자를 원고, 이 사건 용역의 정보이용료 전액을 공급가액으로 하는 역발행 세금계산서를 수수하는 한편, OOO 등으로부터 청구대행수수료 등에 대한 매입세금계산서를 수취하여 부가가치세 등을 신고한 점 등을 종합해 보면,원고가 정보이용자에게 이 사건 용역을 직접 제공하였고, OOO 등은 원고가 정보이용자에게 이 사건 용역을 제공함에 있어 필요한 회선을 임대하고 정보이용료의 청구 및 수납을 대행하는 역할만을 수행한 것이라고 봄이 타당하다. 따라서 원고의 위 주장은 이유 없다.

2) Judgment on the second argument

In full view of the purport of each statement in Eul evidence Nos. 15 through 19, the defendant found that the plaintiff omitted information usage fees from the tax base for providing voice information service through wire telephone, and requested data on the amount of request for information usage fees, etc. on or around April 2010 to identify the above omitted income, and received data from OO, etc. on or around July 2010. The defendant found that the plaintiff omitted information usage fees as seen above based on the above data, and the defendant made the disposition of this case. According to the above facts, the defendant seems to have made the disposition of this case by properly ascertaining the omitted income amount of the plaintiff. Meanwhile, the plaintiff pointed out that the above omitted income amount is inconsistent with the information usage fees stated by OO, etc. through fact-finding, but since the plaintiff's response by OO, etc. according to fact-finding is "amount of settlement of information usage fees", it cannot be different from the "amount of request for information usage fees," which serves as the basis for omission, and that O et al.'s reply to the above amount of request 1000 O's.

4. Conclusion

The plaintiff's claim is dismissed on the ground that it is without merit.
