The Plaintiff’s grounds of appeal are examined along with (1) through (3) (the supplementary appellate brief is filed after the expiration of the submission period, and the reasons for the supplementary appellate brief are determined to the extent of supplement in case of supplement).
According to the provision of Article 9 (1) of the Inheritance Tax Act, the value of inherited property shall be based on the current status as at the time of commencement of inheritance, and according to the provision of Article 5 (1) and (2) 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, when it is difficult to calculate the market price at the time of commencement of inheritance, the value according to the current status as at the time of commencement of inheritance shall be based on the appraised value by the rate method in the case of land and buildings in a specific area prescribed by the Commissioner of National Tax Service

In so determining, the court below's above purport of rejecting the above argument is included in the purport of rejecting the above argument,
