[Purpose]
2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
1) Article 2(3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act does not stipulate at all the "other person's contribution" and "the method of calculating the value of donated property". The instant disposition on which gift tax was imposed by assessing only the value of donated property based on Article 2(3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act is unlawful since it does not have
2) Since the Plaintiff entered into a service contract with the instant service company and carried out the golf course development project, and paid the service cost to the said company with the Plaintiff’s funds, it cannot be said that there exists another person’s contribution to the increase in the value of the pertinent land and the distribution of economic profit therefrom.
B. Relevant statutes
It is as shown in the attached Form.
C. Determination
1) Whether there is a provision on the basis of taxation
Article 2 (1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides for gift tax on donated property by another person.
Paragraph 3, the term "donation" means the name, form and title of the act or transaction.
It is stipulated that the transfer (including the transfer of tangible and intangible property at a remarkably low price) of the tangible and intangible property which can calculate economic value to another person without compensation by direct or indirect means, or the increase of the value of another person's property by contribution. This is to introduce a comprehensive donation concept under the tax-related law in order to cope with an irregular inheritance and donation in advance, and to convert the previous regulations on deemed donation into the regulation for calculating the value uniformly. In principle, in a case where any transaction and act constitute the concept of donation under Article 2 (3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, it shall be deemed that the gift tax may be levied pursuant to Article 2 (1) of the same Act (see Supreme Court Decision 2008Du17882, Apr. 28, 201). Accordingly, this part of the Plaintiff's assertion is without merit.
2) Whether to increase the value of property by the contribution of another person
In this case, the value of the land increased by the contribution of another person (the service company of this case).
We examine whether or not.

2) Each entry and the purport of the whole pleadings
B) Determination
According to the above facts of recognition, the plaintiff entered into a service contract with the service company of this case and the plaintiff's lawsuit
After implementing a golf course development project on the land at issue, the service company of this case paid the service cost with the Plaintiff’s funds.
Therefore, the service company of this case seeks to increase the value of the land as a result of the service.
It cannot be evaluated as the "increased increase in the value of property by another person's contribution" under Article 2 (3) of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act.
C) Judgment on the defendant's argument
(1) Summary of the defendant's assertion
The instant service company was actually a company controlled by the Plaintiff and did not enter into a normal service contract between the Plaintiff and the said company, or paid by the Plaintiff to J General Construction.
It is not the Plaintiff’s funds.
(2) Determination
The above facts and the defendant's value of donated property in order to take the disposition of this case
In determining the market price of the land at issue, the amount of KRW 1,244,875,192 (the service cost paid by the Plaintiff) is deducted from the service cost borne by the taxpayer as “the service cost borne by the taxpayer.” In rendering the instant disposition, the Defendant also considered the service cost paid by the Plaintiff as the Defendant’s contributory portion in light of the circumstances, etc., the evidence submitted by the Defendant alone is insufficient to acknowledge the Defendant’s assertion, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge it otherwise (On the other hand, there is no evidence to deem that the
(3) Therefore, the defendant's argument is without merit.
D) Sub-determination
Ultimately, there is a lack of evidence to prove that there was "an increase in the value of property by another person's contribution" as to the land at issue under Article 2 (3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, and thus the instant disposition
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is reasonable, and it is decided as per Disposition.
