Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
Article 39 subparagraph 2 of the Framework Act on National Taxes and Article 20 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act to impose secondary tax liability as an oligopolistic shareholder on the shareholder of a corporation pursuant to Article 20 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act shall be an oligopolistic shareholder as of the date on which the liability to pay delinquent national taxes is established and shall be in a position to substantially control the operation of the corporation. Thus, the court below determined based on evidence that the plaintiffs transferred all stocks and the management right of the non-party 1 corporation held by the plaintiffs prior to the date on which the liability to pay delinquent national taxes of this case is established to the non-party, and therefore, there is no violation of the rules of evidence as alleged in the above purport.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
