Paragraph (2) of the same Article provides that “The market value under the provisions of paragraph (1) shall be the value generally recognized to be established when a transaction is made freely between many and unspecified persons and shall include the amount recognized to be the market value as the market value under the conditions as prescribed by the Presidential Decree, such as the expropriation price, public sale price, appraisal price, etc.” The main text of Article 49(1)1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 22579, Dec. 30, 2010) as one of those delegated by the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 22579, Dec. 30,
