The text: The list of third party applicants shall be prepared in the public notice of the major situation report posted by the suspect on the website of the Financial Supervisory Service.
답 : AAA, 원고를 제외하고 저와 JJJ, KKK, LLL 4명이 작성한 명단인데, 이 중 제가 빌려온 계좌는 MMM, NNN, OOO 3명이고, 나머지도 제가 아는 사람들인데 PPP, QQQ, RRR, SSS 등이 그렇습니다.
: Whether all the documents are the borrowed name account or not.
The answer: N., I. However, the AA(the Plaintiff’s article) in the list is that the CCC first lends the down payment in the process of acquiring the company of this case, and the CCC has entered the name in order to offer the security for shares to that person. However, the shares paid up, however, are offered by TT in whole.

[Reasons for Recognition] Unsatisfy, Gap evidence 1, 3, 6, Eul evidence 2, 8 through 12, the CCC
testimony, the whole purport of the pleading
D. Determination
The main sentence of Article 45-2(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act shall register the transfer or exercise of the rights.
Article 14 of the Framework Act on National Taxes where the actual owner is different from the nominal owner.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the actual nominal owner of the value of the property on the date when it is registered, etc. as the nominal owner.
The legislative intent of the above provision is to recognize an exception to the principle of substantial taxation in the purport that the act of tax avoidance by using the title trust system is effectively prevented, thereby realizing the tax justice (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2003Du13649, Dec. 23, 2004). Therefore, the application of the above provision is to be strictly interpreted, and the meaning of the title trust is limited to the case where the actual owner is different from the nominal owner, so it is difficult to interpret it as the concept including "where the actual mortgagee and the nominal mortgagee are different." In full view of the above, in the case of a title trust, in which the right to transfer a security for shares is held, gift tax may not be imposed by applying the provision on the donated gift for the title trust under Article 45-2 (1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act.
In addition to the above-mentioned evidence and the overall purport of the pleading as to the facts acknowledged.
The following circumstances, namely, ① DD and EE, from FF around December 23, 2008:
The contract was entered into with the FF to acquire the shares and management rights of the Company.
(2) AA has borrowed 0 billion won from AA to pay the proceeds, and <2 AA has borrowed 0 billion won from AA to
Even after lending money to CCC, etc. and collecting part of money, loans on February 17, 2009
The balance was KRW 0 billion, but AA shares of the instant company allocated on May 8, 2009 by the Company.
The issue price of KRW 000 exceeds KRW 0 billion, and ③ AA shall be March 13, 2009.
The purport that a company lends 0 billion won to CCC, etc. and receives shares of the company of this case as security.
In full view of the fact that AA made a written agreement, (4) on July 2009, sold 00 shares of the instant company to KRW 000, and (5) on May 30, 201, III made a statement to the effect that "CC allocated new shares to provide security to AA", and CCC made a statement to the effect that "AA and 000 shares of the instant company allocated in the name of the Plaintiff are offered as security" in this court, it is reasonable to deem that AA was not owned, but allocated 00 shares of the instant company for the purpose of transfer. Therefore, even if AA has entrusted the Plaintiff with the right to transfer a security for the instant shares, it cannot be imposed upon the Plaintiff on the ground that the Plaintiff may not be subject to the provision on the constructive gift of trust under Article 45-2 (1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act.
3. Conclusion
Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case is reasonable, and it is so ordered as per Disposition.
shall be ruled.
