E. Determination
1) In general, in a lawsuit seeking revocation of disposition of imposing tax, the burden of proving the facts of taxation requirements shall be the imposing authority. However, if it is found that the facts of taxation requirements are presumed in light of the empirical rule in the specific litigation process, the other party is eligible for application of the empirical rule.
Unless it is proven that the pertinent taxation disposition was an unlawful disposition that did not meet the taxation requirements (see Supreme Court Decision 2006Du6604, Feb. 22, 2007). In a lawsuit seeking revocation of a disposition imposing a gift tax, the deposit is presumed to have been donated to the taxpayer, as long as the deposit in the name of the person who was recognized as a donor by the tax authority was withdrawn and deposited in the account in the name of the taxpayer, etc., is presumed to have been donated to the taxpayer. Thus, the withdrawal of such deposit and deposit in
In special circumstances, such as that it was made for any purpose other than donation, such entry
The necessity of evidence lies on taxpayers (see Supreme Court Decision 99Du4082 delivered on November 13, 2001).
2) In the instant case, it is reasonable to view that BB actually controls and manages the instant share transfer price through the Plaintiff, taking into account the following circumstances, i.e., ① BB managed the instant shares in title trust to the next-name shareholders; most of the instant shares were deposited in the deposit account opened in the name of the same-name shareholders; ② BB appears to have been substantially controlled and managed by the instant company as a major shareholder holding 48.602% of the instant shares after the transfer of the instant shares; ③ the method of storage, use, and disbursement of the instant shares transfer price, based on the circumstance that BB deposited the instant shares transfer price in the Plaintiff’s account under the Plaintiff’s name or in each of the instant savings accounts opened by the Plaintiff, it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff was presumed to have received a donation from the Plaintiff in light of the empirical rule, which is the purpose of managing the instant shares transfer price. Accordingly, it is necessary to prove that BB was subject to taxation by the Defendant, who was subject to the disposition of this case.
3) First, as to the purchase cost of the pre-sale of pre-sale 1,143,258,200 won for the pre-sale 1,143,258,200 won, the following circumstances can be revealed by adding the overall purport of the pleadings. i.e., the representative director of the company at present, the representative director of the company at issue, and the BB, as major shareholders of the company at issue. Thus, it cannot be readily concluded that the Plaintiff actually occupies, manages, and manages the pre-sale 1.1 billion won for the purchase cost of pre-sale 1,143,258,200 won for the pre-sale 1,100 won for the pre-sale 1,143,258,200 won for the pre-sale 1,200 won for the pre-sale 37 occasions. In light of the fact that the Defendant asserted that the pre-sale 1,240,250 won for the purchase cost of pre-sale 1,250,20 won for the donation 37.
4) Next, in light of the following: (a) health care room for KRW 252,850,872 of the expenses for marriage and wedding; and (b) the overall purport of the arguments as to the facts acknowledged earlier; (c) the burden of marriage expenses and wedding expenses for mixed-sale type constitutes a generally accepted social custom; and (d) the burden of such expenses is difficult to be deemed subject to gift tax unless there are circumstances that the expenses are excessive to the extent that they are not acceptable under the generally accepted social norms; (b) in light of the history of BB, it is difficult to deem that the amount paid for the Plaintiff’s marriage expenses is excessive to the extent that it is difficult to be acceptable under the generally accepted social norms; and (c) in particular, in light of the fact that it is difficult to deem that the Plaintiff was donated to the Plaintiff due to the ownership and possession of GGG, which is currently the Plaintiff’s wife; and (d) it is difficult to recognize that BB donated the Plaintiff with marriage and wedding expenses,
5) Next, in light of the following facts, it is difficult to recognize that BB donated KRW 47,00,000 to the Plaintiff an apartment complex cost of KRW 47,00 on the sole basis of the circumstance asserted by the Defendant, in light of the following facts: (a) the increase in the value of a building due to the interior works of an apartment is reflected in the market price of the apartment; and (b) the following facts are deemed to have been reverted to HH, the owner of the apartment; and (c) even though the Plaintiff resided in the apartment complex and enjoyed de facto profit from the interior works, this is merely an anti-private interest due to the possession of the apartment, it is difficult to recognize that BB donated the Plaintiff a donation of KRW 47,00,000 to the Plaintiff, and there is no evidence to acknowledge otherwise.
6) Next, in light of the following: (a) acknowledged facts as 370,318,00 won of securities investment funds; and (b) acknowledged as a whole based on the overall purport of the arguments as a whole; (c) as long as BB practically controlled and managed the transfer price of the instant stocks through the Plaintiff, securities investment funds withdrawn from each of the instant savings accounts should also be deemed as owned by BB; (b) although the health condition of BB was not good around 201, it does not seem to have deteriorated as much as making it impossible for BB to make an equity investment due to the Plaintiff; (c) OO, an employee of 00 securities company, made a statement to the effect that it managed the securities investment funds under the name of NN, NLL, and JJ on the delegation of BB around 2011, it is difficult to acknowledge that the Plaintiff used the securities investment funds on its own account solely based on the circumstance alleged by the Defendant.
7) Therefore, since the Plaintiff cannot be deemed to have received the instant monetary donation from BB from around 2009 to around 2012, the instant disposition is unlawful as it is not recognized as a taxation requirement.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is reasonable, and it is decided as per Disposition by admitting it.
