In addition, Article 56 (3) of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act provides that "income generated from profit-making business in the pertinent business year (referring to the income amount before including the reserves for special purpose business and the donations under Article 24 (2) of the Act in deductible expenses)" shall be the amount calculated by subtracting donations under Article 24 (2) of the Act from the income amount generated from profit-making business in the pertinent business year (referring to the income amount before including the reserves for special purpose business and the donations under Article 24 (2) of the Act). If the donations in the former part and the latter part of the former part are equally interpreted, the same amount shall be added and deducted, and the provision shall be null and void. Therefore, in interpreting such provision, the purport of setting the limit of inclusion in deductible expenses in the reserves for special purpose business shall be comprehensively considered in addition to the interpretation of the language and text.
