The Plaintiffs are unlawful to impose penalty tax on the Defendant even if there were justifiable grounds for not being able to report and pay the inheritance tax until the Supreme Court's final judgment was rendered on September 8, 2006 due to legal disputes as to the reversion of inherited property.

On November 14, 2003, the deceased filed an application for the approval seal of the testament with the Seoul Family Court for the approval seal of the above testament, and the stamp of approval was prepared in accordance with the inspection procedure conducted on December 2, 2003.

Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 3-1 through 4, Eul evidence Nos. 2 and 3, the whole purport of the pleading

C. Determination

Under the tax law, where a taxpayer violates various obligations, such as a return and tax payment, without justifiable grounds, in order to facilitate the exercise of the right to impose taxes and the realization of a tax claim, an additional tax is an administrative sanction imposed as prescribed by the Act, and it is unreasonable to expect the taxpayer to fulfill his/her obligations, and there is a justifiable reason not to impose such obligations (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2004Du930, Nov. 25, 2005).

In accordance with the above facts, the deceased made a will by means of the above self-certificate and died on November 5, 2003, one of the inheritors found the certificate of completion at the bank’s treasury of the deceased. The majority of the deceased’s inherited property is financial property including the deposited deposit and the bonds whose maturity is not yet due, and there is dispute over ownership between the inheritor and the ○ University, and the relevant financial institution deposited the deposit under the name of the deceased with the obligee’s name in a financial institution. After which the inheritor is uncertain, the inheritance tax is reported once the inheritance is declared under the uncertainty of who is the inherited property, and the ○○ Bank, Inc., a corporation in which the ○ University participated as an independent party, was the defendant in a lawsuit seeking confirmation of the right to claim payment of the total deposit and the right to claim the return of the claim whose maturity is not yet due, and the above judgment became final and conclusive on September 8, 2006.

As above, the inheritance tax return of this case was filed with the aim of avoiding disadvantages due to the application of additional tax due to the failure to file a return and payment in the state of multiple items regarding the validity of the testament of this case. Not only at the time of filing the inheritance tax of this case but also at the time of the final and conclusive judgment of the above Supreme Court, the effect of will on the whole of the inherited property including the total amount of 12,338,294,630 won in the name of the deceased was not confirmed. The value of the inherited property of this case is equivalent to KRW 13,845,046,013, and even if the total amount of the inheritance tax is not considered as additional tax, it is 5.6 billion won even if the plaintiffs reported the inheritance tax, it is merely done with the intention of avoiding disadvantages due to additional tax in the state of dispute as to the ownership of the inherited property. In light of the size of the inheritance tax of this case and the progress of litigation as to the inherited property, it is unreasonable to expect the plaintiffs to report and pay the inheritance tax of this case without justifiable reason.

Therefore, the reasonable amount of tax on the inherited property, except for additional tax, is KRW 5,67,436,028, and the amount of tax on the inherited property is calculated according to the inheritance shares, Plaintiff 2,597,385,931, Plaintiff 2, 385,931, Plaintiff 00, ○○○○, and △△△△△,” respectively, is KRW 527,071,551

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiffs' claims shall be accepted for all reasons, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
