Reasons
1. Details of the disposition;
A. On October 27, 2008, the Plaintiff: (a) was established at the seat of the head office of the Sinju-Eup Y-si Pari-si, Paju-si for the purpose of manufacturing control devices and machinery; and (b) reported total corporate tax of KRW 228,654,210 as the tax amount reduced or exempted by applying Article 6(2) of the former Restriction of Special Taxation Act (amended by Act No. 13560, Dec. 15, 2015; hereinafter the same) at the time of filing corporate tax from 2012 to 2014.

2. Whether the disposition is lawful;
A. The plaintiff's assertion
Since the plaintiff and CCC's individual entrepreneurs are entirely separate enterprises, the plaintiff's establishment constitutes "business start-up" as provided by Article 6 (2) of the former Restriction of Special Taxation Act, the disposition of this case on a different premise is unlawful.
B. Relevant statutes
It is as shown in the attached Form.
C. Determination
It conforms to the principle of fairness to strictly interpret the provisions regarding the requirements for tax reduction and exemption as clearly preferential provisions. Thus, whether it constitutes a small and medium start-up venture enterprise subject to tax reduction and exemption under Article 6(2) of the former Restriction of Special Taxation Act should be determined on the basis of whether it accords with the principle of fairness to provide benefits for tax reduction and exemption by comprehensively taking into account the details of the establishment of the relevant small and medium enterprise, specific transaction status of the previous business and newly established small and medium enterprises, transaction size and actual conditions, etc.
The following circumstances, i.e., the Plaintiff established for the purpose of manufacturing control equipment and machinery, and opened on November 20, 2008. CCC, the spouse of the representative director of the Plaintiff, operated the "A" of the private company operating the industrial contact tower system (control equipment) from September 21, 2005 to December 31, 2008; ② the Plaintiff’s name corresponds to the trade name of the former CCC’s "A" and considerable part of the Plaintiff’s transaction partner; ③ the Plaintiff’s history of the Plaintiff’s website was established in 2005; and ③ the Plaintiff’s business was not converted into the Plaintiff’s name of the former CCC’s business in the form of the former CCC or the former CCC’s new business establishment in addition to the Plaintiff’s prior business establishment in the form of “1” or the former CCC’s new business establishment in 208.
Therefore, the plaintiff's assertion is without merit.
3. Conclusion
Thus, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as there is no ground.
