Cheong-gu Office
The attachment disposition taken by the defendant on October 23, 2014 against the real estate listed in the separate sheet No. 1 shall be revoked.
Reasons
1. Details of the disposition;
A. The non-party company (hereinafter referred to as the "non-party company") was established on October 21, 201 for the purpose of wholesale and retail business, etc., and thereafter the company's statement of changes in stocks, etc. is registered as holding the same shares as the shares listed below (hereinafter referred to as the "instant share shares") out of 50,000 shares issued by the Plaintiff during the period of 2013.
Number of shares held by stockholders in the business year
2011 Plaintiff 40,000
South west 10,000
2012 Plaintiffs 50,000
2013Plaintiff 30,000
△△△△20,000
B. After conducting a corporate integration investigation with respect to the non-party company, the defendant decided to notify the non-party company of the total amount of KRW 1,125,447,00 of corporate tax from 201 to 2013, and determined that it is difficult to collect the above national tax after the determination of national tax. On October 23, 2014, the plaintiff was deemed to be an oligopolistic shareholder under Article 39 of the Framework Act on National Taxes and was subject to seizure of the real estate listed in the separate sheet No. 1 (hereinafter referred to as the "real estate of this case") owned by the plaintiff pursuant to Article 24(2) of the National Tax Collection Act (the seizure registration was completed on the 27th of the same month; hereinafter referred to as the "the seizure disposition of this case"), and on January 16, 2015, the plaintiff was designated as the second taxpayer of the non-party company.
C. On March 12, 2015, the Plaintiff appealed and filed a request for review with the National Tax Service on January 15, 2015, but was dismissed on June 4, 2015.
[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 through 3, Gap evidence No. 13, Eul evidence Nos. 1 through 3 (including a case of additional number; hereinafter the same shall apply), the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Whether the disposition is lawful;
A. Summary of the plaintiff's assertion
The Plaintiff is merely a formal shareholder who only lent his name upon the request of △△△ Party, the father of the Plaintiff, and there was no fact that the Plaintiff paid the share price of the instant shares or participated in the management of the Nonparty Company. Thus, the attachment disposition based on the premise that the Plaintiff is the actual shareholder of the Nonparty Company is unlawful.
(b) Related statutes;
Attached Form 2 shall be as shown in attached Table 2.
C. Determination
1) Article 39 subparag. 2 of the Framework Act on National Taxes provides that “A shareholder or one limited partner and a person prescribed by Presidential Decree among his/her related parties, whose total amount of stocks held or investments exceeds 50/100 of the total number of outstanding stocks or investments of the relevant corporation and who actually exercises the rights thereto,” is an oligopolistic shareholder with secondary tax liability. The oligopolistic shareholder as mentioned above does not necessarily have the actual result of exercising shareholders’ rights, but is adequate if he/she is in a position to exercise shareholders’ rights with respect to the stocks held as of the date of establishment of tax liability (see Supreme Court Decision 2001Du5354, Jul. 8, 2003). The fact of ownership of such stocks is proved by the list of shareholders, the statement of stock transfer, or the list of corporate register, etc.: Provided, That even in cases where a shareholder appears to be a single shareholder in light of the above data, if there are circumstances such as the name of the relevant corporation or the registration under a name other than the name of actual owner, it can only be viewed as a shareholder (see, etc.).
2) According to the reasoning of the above disposition, the Plaintiff was registered as holding stocks of the non-party company in excess of 50/100 in the statement of changes in stocks, etc. during the taxable period of the tax disposition that served as the basis of the instant attachment disposition. Thus, if the Plaintiff is merely a nominal shareholder unlike the above mentioned contents, such circumstances must be proved by the Plaintiff. However, in light of the following circumstances, the evidence and the circumstances asserted by the Plaintiff alone are insufficient to reverse the statement of changes in stocks, etc. and to acknowledge the Plaintiff’s assertion (the fact that the Plaintiff was registered as a shareholder under the title trust of the △△△△△ Party, a real owner of the instant stocks), and there is no clear evidence to acknowledge otherwise.
① In order for a third party, other than a shareholder on the register of shareholders, to assert that the name of a shareholder in the register of shareholders was trusted and that of the name borrowed, the fact of borrowing the name should be attested on the part of claiming a title trust relationship. Moreover, even if a third party, other than a shareholder on the register of shareholders, actually engaged in an act of paying the subscription price for shares, the underlying underlying relationship for such act, such as a title trust relationship, as well as a business relationship under which one party is liable to make an equity contribution, or a simple borrowing relationship of the subscription price for shares, may present various forms of legal relations, such as simple borrowing of the subscription price for shares. Therefore, solely on the ground that a third party provided an act of paying the subscription price for shares, such third party cannot be readily concluded as a real shareholder based on a title trust relationship under the name of the shareholder (see, e.
In this case, the Plaintiff asserts that the Plaintiff paid the share payment with respect to the instant shares as a business fund for deep-sea processing, an individual business operator, who was operated before the establishment of the non-party company. However, the bank account, which deposited the share payment, is not in the name of the non-party △△△△△ or the representative of deep-sea processing, but in the bank account in the name of the Plaintiff (see the evidence No. 23 and No. 24 of the Plaintiff). Under the current financial real name system, it is difficult to readily conclude that the said share payment was made by the party to the deposit contract solely based on the data submitted by the Plaintiff, without regard to the Plaintiff, by the △△△△△△△△△△△△△△△.
② From January 1, 2012 to December 30, 2013 after the incorporation of the non-party company, the Plaintiff was registered as the representative director on the corporate register of the non-party company. From January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013, the Plaintiff received total of KRW 48,000,000 from the non-party company and filed a report on the earned income tax.
③ The Plaintiff was the head of the team that comprehensively approves the management of the HCCP (HACC Anlytic Analys and Cryssis and Hazardous Points Control Standards) system as the head of the team organized by the Korean Veterinary Medical Association on March 12, 2013. As to this, the Plaintiff asserted that the HCC’s vice head of the HCC team at the time was the completion of the above training instead of the Plaintiff, but it is insufficient to recognize the above assertion solely on the written evidence No. 15 and the testimony of the witness YY based on the evidence No. 5.
④ On July 8, 2013, the Plaintiff transferred 20,000 shares of Nonparty Company to △△△△△△, and reported and paid capital gains tax on August 31, 2013. At the time when the instant liability for corporate tax in arrears was established (in particular, in 2013), the Plaintiff cannot be deemed to have entirely unrelated to the exercise of rights on the instant shares due to academic or employment (the Plaintiff purchased the real estate No. 1 listed in the separate sheet No. 1 listed on October 31, 2013 and completed the registration of ownership transfer on November 4, 2013, and purchased the real estate No. 2 listed on the separate sheet listed on March 6, 2014 and completed the registration of ownership transfer on May 29, 2014).
⑤ In full view of the aforementioned circumstances, even if the Plaintiff, as alleged in the Plaintiff’s assertion, was transferred to the Plaintiff at the time of the establishment of the non-party company, to the Plaintiff’s school (such as the law department, school affairs, and master’s degree course of the Dong University) and the operation of the non-party company was practically recognized to have been exclusively in charge of the △△△△△, it is difficult to view that the Plaintiff was registered as a shareholder in the register of shareholders only in the form of the non-party company’s shares, regardless of the operation of the non-party company. There is considerable room to view that
3) Therefore, the Plaintiff is deemed to bear the secondary tax liability as an oligopolistic shareholder of the non-party company. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s assertion on a different premise is rejected.
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.
