The effects of imposition of additional tax on the Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives exempted from corporate tax on their income and earnings under Article 4 (1) 7 of the Regulation of Tax Reduction and Exemption Act.

The penalty tax is collected in order to secure the faithful fulfillment of the obligation provided for in tax-related Acts, and even if its nature is different from that of the principal tax, the collection of the penalty tax on a corporation is premised on the collection of the corporate tax on income in each business year, except as otherwise provided for in tax-related Acts, and it is not possible to collect the corporate tax independently. Thus, if corporate tax cannot be collected after being exempted, the penalty tax may not be collected. Thus, the imposition of corporate tax on the Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives exempt from corporate tax on such income and profit is in violation of the provisions of Article 4(1)7 of the Regulation of Tax Reduction and Exemption Act and Article 41 of the Corporate Tax Act (amended by Act No. 2686, Dec. 21, 1974).
