Each entry in the evidence of any kind (including the relevant number), the whole purport of the pleading, and the purport of the whole pleading, 10,13, 15, 16, 17

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

(a) Relevant statutes;

It is as shown in the attached Form.

(b) the existence of procedural defects;

1) The plaintiff's assertion

The Director of the Seoul Regional Tax Office, the investigating authority, sent only the instant company the explanatory guide about the instant disposition on June 2013, and did not send the explanatory guide to the Plaintiff, and did not separately notify the Plaintiff of the tax items to be investigated, the period of investigation, the reason for investigation, etc. In such a case, the instant disposition is unlawful in violation of the prior notice procedure of the tax investigation.

2) Determination

According to the main sentence of Article 81-7 (1) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, where a tax official conducts a tax investigation excluding the investigation of a tax offense under the Procedure for the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act, he/she shall notify a taxpayer to be investigated (where a taxpayer designates a tax manager and reports it to the head of the competent tax office, a tax manager) of the items of taxation to be investigated, the period and reason for the investigation

In full view of the overall purport of evidence evidence Nos. 4, 5, and 34, the Seoul Regional Tax Office reviewed the tax base return and tax amount of corporate tax submitted by the instant company, documents attached thereto, and the company’s explanation materials as to whether the acquisition price of the instant shares and the acquisition price of the instant company’s capital constitutes deemed dividend, and provided the Plaintiff with a revised return on September 5, 2013 regarding the transfer of the instant shares as global income tax. On December 2, 2013, the Seoul Regional Tax Office may recognize the fact that: (a) deeming the transfer income of the instant shares as deemed dividend and notified the Plaintiff that the Plaintiff would be notified of KRW 000 by correcting the total income tax reverted to year 201, and (b) notifying the Plaintiff that the Defendant issued the instant disposition to the Plaintiff on May 22, 2014.

According to the above facts, the director of the Seoul Regional Tax Office analyzed relevant data as part of the ex post facto verification of the corporate tax reported and paid by the company of this case, and notified the Defendant of the data for taxation, and the tax authority did not conduct a tax investigation with respect to the Plaintiff before the instant disposition. Therefore, it cannot be said that the Seoul Regional Tax Office or the Defendant did not have a duty to notify the Plaintiff of the tax items to be investigated, the period of investigation, the reason for investigation, etc. as part of the prior notice prior to the instant disposition. Furthermore, it is deemed that the Plaintiff was sufficiently given the opportunity to vindicate the Plaintiff through the notification of revised tax return as of September 5, 2013 and the prior notice of taxation as of December 2,

Therefore, there is no procedural defect in violation of the prior notice procedure of the tax investigation in the disposition of this case. The plaintiff's assertion on this part is without merit.

C. Whether the sale of the instant shares constitutes a stock retirement transaction

1) The plaintiff's assertion

Although the name of the assignee of the instant primary contract is the instant company, the Plaintiff and BB concluded the instant primary contract according to their agreement between the Plaintiff and BB to purchase the instant shares. Therefore, the parties to the instant primary contract are the Plaintiff and BB. Even if the Plaintiff and BB did not agree with each other, the parties to the instant primary contract are the parties to the instant primary contract, considering the developments leading up to the instant primary contract, the details of the instant primary contract, etc.

However, as the Plaintiff won the instant lawsuit in favor of the Plaintiff and the transferee of the instant shares became the instant company, the Plaintiff was at risk of incurring high-rate dividend income tax, and accordingly, the Plaintiff demanded BB to change the parties to the instant contract to BB as originally agreed. Meanwhile, BB determined that the amount to be additionally paid to the Plaintiff when calculating the sales price of the instant shares based on the business year 2010 when the business of the instant company was in existence as of 2008, and that the amount to be additionally paid to the Plaintiff was reduced. On the other hand, upon receiving the Plaintiff’s request for change of the parties, the Plaintiff and BB concluded the instant secondary contract in accordance with the agreement to rescind all the instant primary contract, etc. and to comply with the substance of the instant agreement. Accordingly, the Plaintiff and BB concluded the instant secondary contract to be effective as a transaction between the Plaintiff and the shareholders of the instant company, the income subject to transfer of the instant shares is merely a transaction subject to the transfer income tax.

However, the Defendant: (a) deemed the sale and purchase of the instant shares as the retirement of shares, which are capital transactions between the Plaintiff and the instant company; and (b) constituted the Plaintiff’s income arising from the sale and purchase of the instant shares as dividend based on deemed dividend; and (c) made the instant disposition. Although there was a serious dispute between the Plaintiff and the contracting party to the purchase and sale of the instant shares, the process of determining the contract amount, the process of paying the price, and the Plaintiff, the instant company, and the instant company’s shareholder BB, etc. in the process of paying the price, the Defendant, without reasonable grounds, denied the validity of the instant secondary contract by deeming that the Plaintiff, the instant company, BB, etc. conspired to enter into a false contract with the instant company, not BB, etc

2) Relevant legal principles

A) According to Article 108(1) of the Civil Act, a false declaration of intent made in collusion with the other party is null and void. According to Article 14(2) of the Framework Act on National Taxes, the provisions on the calculation of tax base in the tax-related Acts concerning income, profit, property, act or transaction, regardless of the name or form of the income, profit, act or transaction, shall be applied in substance. On the other hand, according to Articles 17(1)3 and 17(2)1 of the Income Tax Act, the value of the money acquired by the shareholder due to a retirement of shares or reduction of capital, and other property acquired by the shareholder, shall be deemed to have been distributed to the relevant shareholder in excess

B) Fictitious dividend under Article 17(1) of the Income Tax Act is an economic benefit similar to actual cash dividend in cases where a profit reserved in the company is reverted to a shareholder or an investor in the form of a legal reserve, earned surplus reserve, or other voluntary reserve, not distributed out of the surplus in the company’s corporate management performance, and such profit is deemed as a dividend in light of the principle of equity in taxation. Here, whether the sale of stocks falls under the transfer of stocks, which are assets transaction, or the retirement of stocks or the refund of capital, which are capital transactions, is a matter of interpretation of a legal act, and shall be determined based on the contents and intent of the relevant transaction. However, in light of the principle of substantial taxation, the entire process of the transaction, such as the process of concluding the contract, the method of determining the price, and the progress of the transaction, should be determined based on the actual understanding of the relevant parties’ intent and the relevant parties’ intent (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 2001Du627, Dec. 26, 2002>

(iii) the facts of recognition

A) In concluding the instant first contract, the Plaintiff, the instant company, and BB agreed that the amount of stock valuation was determined and that the Plaintiff and the instant company should conclude a separate contract for stock transfer or acquisition for reporting to the instant company or to the person designated by the instant company.

B) As of December 31, 2009, the audit report for the business year 2009 regarding the instant company stated KRW 0 billion as an advance payment for shares to the Plaintiff of the instant company as of December 31, 2009.

C) The Plaintiff, on April 22, 2008, signed a monetary loan agreement and receipt as of April 22, 2008, the amount of the loan was KRW 00 million, and the money loan loan agreement and receipt as of August 14, 2008, the amount of the loan was KRW 00 million, as of August 14, 2008, and the agreement and receipt as of September 30, 2008, the money loan loan agreement and receipt as of August 30, 2010, the amount of the loan was KRW 00 billion, and the money loan loan agreement and receipt as of September 30, 2010, and the money loan loan agreement and receipt as of September 29, 2010, as of October 28, 2010, and issued it to the instant company.

D) As of December 31, 2010, the audit report on the instant company in the business year 2010 stated KRW 0 billion as the short-term claim against the Plaintiff of the instant company as of December 31, 2010.

E) On June 24, 201, the Plaintiff paid to the instant company KRW 0 million on the pretext of the borrowed amount (the amount calculated by deducting the debt amount of BB’s KRW 00 billion from the aggregate of the Plaintiff’s debt amount of the instant company prior to the instant primary contract, KRW 0 million, and KRW 0 billion from the deposit amount, and KRW 0 billion from the debt amount of BB’s debt acquisition amount), and 0000 on the pretext of the borrowed amount (=000 won + KRW 00000 + KRW 00000) on the pretext of the borrowed amount.

F) On June 24, 2011, BB, CCC, and DD paid to the Plaintiff a total of KRW 0 billion with the instant company’s funds (i.e., KRW 0 billion with the purchase price of the instant shares - KRW 0 billion with the debt assumption amount of KRW 0 billion with the BB’s debt assumption amount). The instant company included KRW 000 with the provisional payment against BB, KRW 000 with the provisional payment against CCC, and KRW 000 with the provisional payment against DD.

G) On August 11, 201, the instant company set off the capital reduction cost to be paid to BB, CCC, and DD, while reducing the capital for the common share of 000 shares.

11-1 through 4 of evidence of No. 11, each entry of No. 12-2 of evidence No. 12, and the purport of the whole pleadings.

4) Determination

A) Since BB is also the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff prepared the instant contract by designating the parties to the instant first contract as the Plaintiff and the instant company, it is difficult to deem that the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff asserted that there was a mutual agreement between the Plaintiff to have the transferee of the instant shares pursuant to the instant first contract, etc., BB as BB. Moreover, taking full account of the following circumstances, which can be known by adding the overall purport of the pleadings to the aforementioned facts, evidence Nos. 18 and evidence Nos. 20, the parties to the instant purchase and sale of the instant shares pursuant to the instant first contract, etc., should be deemed the Plaintiff and the instant company.

(1) The Plaintiff was directly paid the sales price of the instant shares under the instant primary contract, etc. from the instant company.

(2) As of December 31, 2009, after the payment of the down payment and the intermediate payment under the instant first contract, etc., the instant company recognized the Plaintiff as an advance payment of the purchase price of the Plaintiff the sum of KRW 2.4 billion for the instant company’s loan debt KRW 50 million for the instant company, ② the down payment KRW 100 million, ③ the intermediate payment KRW 426 million as of August 14, 2008, ④ the intermediate payment KRW 424 billion as of September 30, 2008 (as seen below, if the instant company handled the instant company’s short-term financial claim as of December 31, 2010 with respect to the Plaintiff, it appears that the agreement for the rescission of the instant first contract, etc. is to be the act to pretend the cancellation of the instant contract).

(3) The Plaintiff filed the instant lawsuit on the ground of the instant primary contract, etc., where part of the purchase price of the instant shares was not paid under the instant primary contract, and based on the instant primary contract, etc., that the instant company was the transferee of the instant shares and the BB was the joint and several surety of the instant company’s debt owed to the Plaintiff.

(4) On September 8, 2008, EE, an employee of the instant company, had the intent to conclude the agreement on September 10, 2008, and sent the draft agreement to the Plaintiff on September 10, 2008, and there is no evidence to deem that EE was acting as an agent of BB.

B) In addition, considering the aforementioned facts, the aforementioned evidence and the following circumstances revealed from the overall purport of the pleadings as seen earlier, and the following circumstances, it appears that the instant first contract was rescinded, and the agreement dated December 20, 2010, and the instant second contract was merely a series of fictitious acts performed with the aim to reduce the global income tax burden on constructive dividend.

(1) The Plaintiff, the instant company, and BB entered into the instant primary contract, and the Plaintiff agreed to conclude a separate agreement on the acquisition of shares for reporting to the instant company or to the person designated by the instant company, so the amount of stock valuation becomes final and conclusive, and thus, there was an agreement among them that the Plaintiff may prepare a stock acquisition agreement with a different transferee of the instant shares for the purpose of reducing the amount of tax to be paid and paid. The Plaintiff, the instant company, and BB appears to have entered into the instant secondary contract for the purpose of reporting and paying transfer income tax lower than global income tax according to such agreement.

(2) In the instant lawsuit, following the agreement between the Plaintiff and the instant company and BB on July 19, 2010, the sales price of the instant shares and delay damages under the instant primary contract, etc. were determined to be KRW 000 (i.e., KRW 000 + the adjusted amount + KRW 0000 + the Plaintiff’s obligation to the instant company and BBB, which was deducted from the sales price pursuant to the instant primary contract, etc. prior to the formation of the conciliation; and (ii) the Plaintiff received KRW 00 billion deposit on November 15, 2010, thereby completing the instant stock transaction pursuant to the instant primary contract, etc. In addition to the mitigation of tax burden, the Plaintiff, other than the reduction of tax burden, agreed upon the instant primary contract, etc., and changed the sales price by agreement and agreement on December 20, 2010, and did not find any reasonable grounds for the change of the parties to the instant secondary contract.

(3) At the time of the conclusion of the instant secondary contract, BB and CCC, the wife of the instant company, held 70% of the shares issued by the instant company, and thus, it had already secured management rights of the instant company. In addition, in a special shareholders meeting held on July 11, 201, which was held on July 11, 201, that did not reach one month from June 24, 2011 when the purchase price of the instant shares was paid to the Plaintiff under the instant secondary contract, BB, CCC, and DD resolved to reduce capital to 000 shares of the instant company’s ordinary shares, including the instant shares, as the shareholder of the instant company. In light of these circumstances, it is difficult to deem that there was a need for BB, CCC, and DD to promptly retire shares for the purpose of securing capital reduction without consideration.

(4) BB, CCC, and DD paid the purchase price of the instant shares under the instant secondary contract with the provisional payment of the instant company (in the manner that BB pays part of the purchase price of the instant shares, KRW 00 billion, which was disposed of by the Plaintiff from the Plaintiff, as the method of paying part of the purchase price of the instant shares, was also deemed to have been appropriated as the provisional payment for BB of the instant company on June 24, 2011, and the said KRW 000 billion was paid as the provisional payment for BB of the instant company, and the said KRW 000 million was paid as the provisional payment for the Plaintiff by BB to the Plaintiff as the provisional payment for the instant company, and the economic substance is the same) thereafter, it was treated that the provisional payment for the instant company was merely the acquisition and retirement of the instant shares on the account of the instant company, and did not have been made as the price for the instant shares.

(5) The plaintiff was external appearance that the company of this case as a result of the rescission of the agreement on the first contract of this case, etc., and as to the restoration of the original contract of this case, 00 billion won (in lieu of the payment of the purchase price of the shares of this case under the first contract of this case, 50 million won was added to the plaintiff's existing debt to the company of this case and 00 billion won that the plaintiff received from the company of this case) and its interest were returned (the amount of KRW 0 billion out of 0 billion was acquired by BB and paid to the company of this case after the remainder of 00 billion was paid to the company of this case). However, if the financial transaction details of the plaintiff were to be followed at time, the plaintiff seems to have returned part of D and CCC's provisional payment amount to D and CCC as to the company of this case (= KRW 00 million paid by DD £« + with the above principal and interest amount of KRW 00 million as to the above loan amount.

(6) The plaintiff asserts that the company of this case was restored to its original state following the cancellation of agreement of this case, etc. by repaying KRW 0 billion and interest thereon in accordance with each loan agreement of this case which was concluded with the company of this case. However, the agreement of this case was signed and sealed only by the plaintiff, and there is no seal of the company of this case. ② On April 22, 2008 and August 14, 2008, when the purchase price of this case was paid in accordance with the first agreement of this case, etc., it seems that the plaintiff and the company of this case were not well-founded to enter into a loan of this case on September 30, 208, and the receipts of this case were 200 billion won as of December 31, 2009, and the receipts of this case were 1.5 billion won as of 200 billion as of 200,000 won as of 200,000 won.

C) If so, the cancellation of the agreement of the first contract, etc. of this case, the agreement dated December 20, 2010, and the second contract of this case constituted a false representation for the purpose of tax avoidance, and thus becomes null and void. Thus, the plaintiff eventually transferred the shares of this case to the company of this case, not BB, CCC, and DD.

In addition, considering the following circumstances revealed from the aforementioned factual basis, the instant case

The company should be deemed to have acquired and retired the shares of this case, which are treasury shares, as part of the capital reduction procedure, so the transfer of the shares of this case to the company of this case constitutes capital transactions.

(1) According to Articles 341 and 341-2(1) of the former Commercial Act (amended by Act No. 10600, Apr. 14, 201; hereinafter the same), the case where a company may acquire its own shares on its own account in excess of 10/100 of the total number of shares issued and outstanding, is limited to (1) when it is intended to retire shares; (2) when it is due to a merger of a company or an acquisition of an entire business of another company; (3) when it is necessary to achieve its purpose in executing the company’s rights; (4) when it is necessary to dispose of shares; and (5) when it is necessary to exercise the shareholder’s appraisal right at the time of concluding the first contract, etc.; and (2) there is no evidence to prove that there was a cause falling under the above (5) or (5)

(2) In fact, the instant company retired 000 common shares of the instant company, including the instant shares, at a cost, and reduced its capital.

(3) Article 342 of the former Commercial Act provides that "the company shall comply with the procedures for stock invalidation without delay in the case of Article 341 subparagraph 1 of the same Article, and in the case of subparagraphs 2 through 5 of the same Article and the proviso of Article 341-3, the company of this case shall dispose of the shares or pledge at a reasonable time." As seen earlier, the company of this case retired the shares of this case after acquiring the shares of this case and did not make efforts to dispose of them to a third party, and it seems difficult to dispose of the shares of this case to a third party other than the shareholders of the company of this case as non-listed shares. Therefore, the company of this case seems

D) Therefore, the difference between the purchase price of the instant stocks corresponding to the “money acquired by a shareholder due to the retirement of stocks or reduction of capital and the amount needed by the Plaintiff to acquire the instant stocks shall be deemed as income from deemed dividend under Article 17(1)3 of the Income Tax Act. The Plaintiff’s allegation in this part is without merit.

D. Whether the calculation of tax amount is lawful

1) The plaintiff's assertion

If the instant company is the actual party to the sales of the instant shares, the instant company was holding 000 shares of its own shares at the time of capital reduction for consideration, and the instant company was subject to a special resolution of the temporary general shareholders’ meeting as of July 11, 201, and thus, 000 shares, which are 0% of the shares sold by the Plaintiff, were retired as 0% of the shares sold by the Plaintiff. Therefore, the instant shares sales price and the purchase price of the instant shares should be calculated as 0% of the difference between the acquisition price of the instant shares and the purchase price of the instant shares, and the Defendant calculated the total difference between the purchase price of the instant shares and the acquisition price of the instant shares as the amount of deemed dividend,

2) Determination

BB, CCC, and DD, the shareholders of the instant company, as seen earlier, shall be July 11, 201.

At the temporary general meeting of shareholders held, the company purchased and resolved to retire 000 won per share from the shareholders who desire to acquire 000 shares out of the total number of shares issued by the company of this case. According to the resolution of capital reduction, the company of this case does not seem to have planned to reduce 000 shares per share equally for each shareholder.
