A corporation

Correction

The case holding that although the value-added tax, corporate tax, and income tax were determined by deeming the tax invoice received from the data as the processed tax invoice, the assertion that the transportation service was provided and the tax invoice was issued after paying the cost is reliable when based on the transaction statement, the vehicle register, the daily shipment statement, etc. by transaction party.

2. Opinion of the requesting corporation and the disposition agency;

A. The claimant corporation's assertion

The key tax invoice is a tax invoice that is lawfully received by the claimant corporation from (ju)OOOOO to receive services for transporting steel products from (ju)OOOOOO or from (ju)OOOOOOO to receive services by recontracts with (ju)OOOOO or others. Therefore, this issue is inappropriate for the disposition that the disposition agency deemed the key tax invoice as a processing tax invoice and imposed by deeming it as a tax invoice.

(b) Opinions of disposition agencies;

The evidence presented by the claimant corporation by asserting that the issue tax invoice was based on the actual transaction, is shown only that (i)OOOOO has transported the latter to two (ii)OOOOOOOO, it is difficult to verify whether it is directly related to the claimant corporation, (ii) it does not present specific and objective evidentiary documents, such as the contract for transportation services and the payment of the cost for transportation, and (iii)OOOOOOOO is not directly operated, and (iv) it is not only does not have direct vehicles, and the ratio of the issuance of the processed tax invoice during the period of January 1, 199, which is the transaction period, reaches 92.7%, and the claim of the claimant corporation is not reliable, and therefore the initial disposition is justified.

(C) The director of the office of origin of the OO shall be deemed to have no cargo vehicle directly operated by the (ju)OOOOO through an investigation into the ambs, the representative of the (ju)OOOOOO, and shall also be deemed to have issued sales tax invoices under the name of the corporation of (ju)OOOO for the transportation services provided by the sub-registered sub-owners, and shall be based on the ambs' statement that the sub-owners directly received the transportation services charges, and that the payments, taxes, taxes, etc. were recovered from the (ju)OOOOOO, but (ju)OOOOOO issued tax invoices with the sales invoice for the entire transportation charges and public charges, and (ju)OOOOOO issued the tax invoices issued as the sales invoice for the services provided by the customer.

(D) As a result of the above investigation, OOOO shall send to the customer who issued the sales tax invoice, a written notice on the cooperation for the submission of documentary evidence for transaction to the head of the business office having jurisdiction over the customer who determined that there is no submission of the document or that there is no legitimate transaction as a result of the review of the document, and the disposition authority accordingly confirms that the issue tax invoice is treated as a processed tax invoice and disposed of.

(2) As to this, the claimant corporation did not know whether it is a 3-year shipping company that receives only rent from the owner of the goods. However, the claimant corporation knew that it is a 9-year shipping company that it was a 9-year shipping company, and the claimant corporation received services from 121,528 OO on March 199 that it was not possible for 9-year shipping company to use the 9-year shipping company's shipping company's 9-year shipping company's shipping company's 9-year shipping company's sales on the 9-year shipping company's shipping company's 199-year shipping company's sales on the 9-year shipping company's shipping company's 19-year shipping company's (O's shipping company's 9-year shipping company's shipping company's 13,021,054 trading company's O's shipping company's purchase on the 9-year shipping company's O's trading company's O's trading company'.

The payment of the purchase price has been made directly by JOOO on the local level to the shipping company at the discount of the bill received as the sales price from the OOOOOO on the local level.

* (State) If the issue tax invoice issued by OO is the processed tax invoice, it is argued that the cost ratio compared to the sales amount of OO on March 199 is 64% and that it is not realistic.

(3) Reviewing evidence presented by the requesting corporation according to its content is as follows.

(A) The agency is deemed to have issued a processed tax invoice as a branch office of the unregistered borrowers who did not have registered their business without any direct vehicle. However, according to the vehicle registration number, OOOOOO(1.5 tons car truck), OOOOOO(5 tons car truck), OOOOOOOO(5 tons truck), OOOOOOOO(5 tons truck), OOOOOOOOO(11 tons truck), and OOOOOO(11.5 tons truck)'s vehicle register, the final owner of the vehicle is listed as OOOOO(11.5 tons truck), and all of this periods of registration was registered as OOOO prior to the date of closure, and it appears that the agency's decision that the vehicle was cancelled on March 21, 200.

(B) According to the trading statement delivered by the applicant corporation to (OOO, the number of vehicles such as OO, OOO, OOO, OOOO, etc. appears to be a vehicle owned by the (OO)OOOOOO on March 1, 199 and March 31, 199; (b) the number of vehicles held by OOOO is specified; (c) the number of vehicles held by OOO is specified; and (d) the number is specified on the trading statement for each cargo destination held by OOOO that the owner ordered the owner to provide the transportation service; and (e) the number of vehicles such as OO, OO, OO, OOO, and OOOO appears to be a vehicle owned by OOO on the day of (OOO shipment on the day of each customer of the owner that is the owner of the transportation service; and (e) the owner of the vehicle held by OOO on the day of the owner's delivery.

(C) According to a promissory note issued by the applicant corporation during March 199, the sales and purchase statement of steel transport by January 1 through 1, 1999, which included the monthly sales and the monthly transportation cost paid by the applicant corporation to 14 shipping businesses, and a promissory note issued by the applicant corporation, the applicant corporation paid the sales and purchase price of 119,713,43 won to OOOO during the period of 1999, and the purchase price of OOO was included in the amount of 131,684,786 won on this issue’s tax invoice from OOOO, and the sales and purchase price of 19,713,43 won was confirmed to have been paid by the applicant corporation to 19,79,000 won on this issue’s tax invoice from 139,684,786 won on this issue’s sales and purchase price of O19,000,0000 won on this issue’s tax invoice.

(4) In full view of the above facts, it is determined that the claimant corporation's assertion that (a) the shipping service equivalent to the value on the key tax invoice is entrusted to (b) the (c)OOOOOOO's steel product shipping service was ordered to be provided by (c)OOOOOOO, (d) the shipping service was provided by the (c)OOOOOO, and the outstanding tax invoice was issued. Since the key tax invoice appears to be a legitimate tax invoice through the real transaction, the disposition of this case that the disposition agency deemed the key tax invoice as the processed tax invoice is deemed to be erroneous.

4. Conclusion

This request for a trial is reasonable as a result of the review, so it is decided as per Disposition in accordance with Articles 81 and 65 (1) 3 of the Framework Act on National Taxes.
