Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 82Gu235 delivered on January 17, 1983
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal by the defendant litigant are examined.
In the decision of the estimation investigation by the method of a so-called trade name in which the amount of income of a partner is calculated according to the balance with other partners, the amount of income of the partner who is the comparative standard should be the most accurately accurately reflected that the amount of income of the partner is examined and determined by the accurate account books and documentary evidence, and that it is not the amount determined by the method of the estimation investigation (see Supreme Court Decision 83Nu37, Apr. 26, 1983). Therefore, it is justifiable to determine that the Defendant’s estimation of the Plaintiff’s taxable income by the method of a trade name by the method of a trade name is unlawful on the grounds that the employee’s income in comparison with the Plaintiff was properly calculated by the on-site investigation or there is no assertion as to the calculation by
From the above opposing point of view, we cannot accept the argument that the defendant's estimation investigation method by the trade partner type of this case is lawful.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
