On January 20, 2004, the Plaintiff operated the lodging business with the trade name called “the telecom” from around that time, after changing the type of business to the lodging business on January 20, 2004.

(3) Meanwhile, on April 30, 2004, the approval seal agreement entered into between the Plaintiff and ○○○ entered into with the Plaintiff on April 30, 2004, stating that the purchase price shall be KRW 1.56 billion, but the down payment shall be paid at the time of the contract and the balance of KRW 1.360 million shall be paid on May 4 of the same year.

D. Determination

(1) The term "transfer of business not deemed the supply of goods under Article 6 (6) 2 of the former Value-Added Tax Act (amended by Act No. 8142 of Dec. 30, 2006; hereinafter referred to as the "Act") and Article 17 (2) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 1930 of Feb. 9, 2006) refers to the comprehensive transfer of physical, human, rights, and obligations, etc. including business property, to replace only the management body while maintaining the identity of the business. Thus, the business must be an organic combination of human and physical facilities so that it can be separated from the management body and can be socially independent. The fact that the object of transfer is not a simple physical facility but such organic combination is not a value-added tax, and the taxpayer bears the burden of proof as a reason for the impediment of taxation (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 97Nu127848, Apr. 28, 2006).

(2) The following circumstances, i.e., ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ by adding up the above evidence Nos. 11, 14, and 16, i.e., the Plaintiff’s lease of the instant apartment with respect to the operation of the instant apartment. (Inasmuch as the date of opening the business and the date of closing the business was the same on February 1, 2004, it cannot be deemed that ○○○○○○○○○ was registered as its business operator.) The Plaintiff cannot be seen as having entirely related to the business, such as purchase during the pertinent business period, sales account books, etc. (the Plaintiff’s change of the type of business from ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○’s sales business to the foregoing ○○○○○○○○○○○○○’s sales business, based on the above evidence presented to the Plaintiff’s sales relationship.

(3) Therefore, since the Plaintiff cannot be deemed to have comprehensively transferred the real estate rental business to ○○○, the Plaintiff’s assertion based on a different premise is without merit, and the instant disposition is lawful.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
