Defendant
JJJ Co. does not assume the obligation to return unjust enrichment against the amount equivalent to the income tax withheld and paid to the Plaintiffs by the JJ Co.
Summary
In light of the fact that there is no provision that subsidies such as income tax shall be reduced from the apartment sale price under the apartment sale contract concluded by the plaintiffs, and that there is a provision that taxes and public charges shall be borne by the buyer out of the subsidies for collection and registration tax, it is difficult to regard Defendant JJJJ or KKK's subsidies for collection and registration tax to be deducted from the sales price, not from other income under the Income Tax Act.

Reasons
Whether Defendant JJJJJ Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Defendant JJJ”) or KKK Limited Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “KK”) bears the responsibility to return unjust enrichment equivalent to the income tax withheld and paid to the Plaintiffs.
In light of the fact that there is no provision that subsidies, such as income tax, should be reduced from the apartment sale price under the apartment sale contract concluded by the plaintiffs, and rather there is a provision that the buyer bears the burden of tax and public charges from the subsidy for the acquisition tax and registration tax, it is difficult to view that Defendant JJJJ or KKK’s subsidy for the acquisition tax and registration tax should be deducted from the sale price, not from other income under the Income Tax Act.
