Title

The amount equivalent to 10% of the principal of each investment received by the plaintiffs as interest name constitutes interest income in the actual meaning.

Summary

Even if the plaintiffs have re-invested the amount including interest for each transaction, each individual contract is a separate and independent monetary loan contract. As long as the plaintiffs received all principal and interest pursuant to an individual contract during each taxable period and realized interest income finally, the amount equivalent to 10% of each investment principal constitutes interest income.

E. The Plaintiffs filed an appeal with the Tax Tribunal on August 17, 2012, but the Tax Tribunal dismissed all of the appeals filed by Plaintiffs YangA, ChoiB, and KimCC on December 26, 2012.

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1 to 11, Eul evidence 1 to 11, the purport of the whole pleading

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiffs' assertion

1) Money transaction by the Plaintiffs, KimF, etc. is not a separate contract for each transaction, but an increase in the amount of investment to pay the investment principal and interest, and it is merely a multiple act of receiving money based on a single contract to pay the investment principal and interest. The interest that the Plaintiffs received at each time was paid for the purpose of inducing the re-investment in part of the leased principal that the Plaintiffs paid, and thus, it cannot be deemed an

2) Article 51(7) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 22580, Dec. 30, 2010; hereinafter the same) provides that where the pertinent non-business amount falls under a claim under Article 19-2(1)8 of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act before the final return on tax base or the determination and correction of tax base and tax amount, and all or part of the principal and interest cannot be recovered from the debtor or a third party, the amount recovered shall be calculated by first subtracting the principal from the recovered amount, and where the recovered amount falls short of the principal, the total amount shall be deemed non-existent. Thus, in the case of Plaintiff BB and KimCC, the Defendants should have considered the remainder after subtracting the principal from the recovered amount as interest income. However, in the case of Plaintiff LB, the Defendants considered the amount equivalent to 10% of the invested principal acquired in 209 and 2010, in the case of Plaintiff KimCC, 2008, 2009 and the remaining interest income amount were not recovered.

3) The Plaintiffs, KimF, etc. rescinded the agreement on the investment of art works in November 201, and appropriated the amount equivalent to 10% of the total amount received by the time of restitution from the original state to the principal invested in September 201, October 10, and November 201. Therefore, since the said agreement became retroactively effective, the amount equivalent to 10% of the investment principal acquired by the Plaintiffs was lost its nature as interest.

4) In addition, the Plaintiffs, on June 18, 2013, expressed their intent to revoke the art investment contract to the KimF, etc. as it was by deception, and thus, the said contract was lawfully revoked. Accordingly, the amount equivalent to 10% of the invested principal acquired by the Plaintiffs has lost its nature as interest.

B. Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Form.

C. Determination

1) As to the first argument

A) Comprehensively taking into account the facts acknowledged earlier, evidence, and the overall purport of oral arguments, the following circumstances are revealed: (a) the Plaintiffs did not recognize that they entered into a basic contract to regulate all monetary transactions with KimF, etc.; (b) during the taxable period of taxation regarding the instant disposition (hereinafter referred to as the “instant taxable period for dispute taxation”); (c) the Plaintiffs appears to have recovered both their principal and interest from KimF, etc. during the pertinent taxable period; and (d) further, when the Plaintiffs appears to have received both the principal and interest paid to KimF, etc. and paid the money again, it is deemed that the identity of each principal paid to KimF, etc. during the pertinent taxable period is not recognized; (e) even if the evidence and the arguments submitted by the Plaintiffs were to be considered, it is reasonable to view that each monetary transaction contract during the pertinent taxable period between the Plaintiffs and KimF, etc. (hereinafter referred to as the “individual contract”) under each of the instant individual contracts for consumption loan or interest payment for each of the instant case, in light of the legal nature of each of the Plaintiffs’s principal and interest payment for each of the instant contract.

B) In addition, the term “interest” generally refers to the money received or its substitute in proportion to the principal amount and the lending period, regardless of the name thereof, and when based on the facts and evidence, etc. acknowledged above, the Plaintiffs regularly lend money to KimFF, etc. during the pertinent taxable period in accordance with the individual contract of this case and received additional money in proportion to the principal amount and the principal amount, and enjoy economic benefits therefrom. In light of the circumstances where it appears that the Plaintiffs had enjoyed economic benefits, the evidence submitted by the Plaintiffs and the circumstances of their assertion, even though all of the evidence presented by the Plaintiffs were considered, the money in addition to the principal amount received by KimF, etc., is deemed to constitute interest income under Article 16 of the Income Tax Act. The Plaintiffs’ assertion is not merely a part of the principal leased by the Plaintiffs, or a part of the principal amount,

C) Ultimately, this part of the plaintiffs' assertion is without merit.

2) As to the second argument

A) Whether there exists interest income from "non-business proceeds" under Article 16 (1) 11 of the Income Tax Act shall be determined by applying Article 51 (7) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act, which applies to the disposition of this case by individual loans. Thus, if there are claims for the principal and interest of a loan already recovered at the time of the final return on tax base or the determination or correction of tax base and tax amount among multiple loans, such claims shall be deemed as interest income unless there are special circumstances, and the same applies even if the multiple loans are claims for the same debtor (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2014Du35010, May 29, 2014).

B) In light of the above legal principles, with respect to each of the loans lent by the Plaintiffs to KimF, etc. according to the individual contracts of this case as of the time of the disposition of this case, it is recognized that the loan principal and interest are recovered in full, and there is no other counter-proof. In light of the above legal principles, the claim for the principal and interest on each of the loans under the individual contracts of this case under the monetary loan loan contract of this case is already extinguished at the time of the disposition of this case, and it cannot be applied Article 51 (7) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act. However, in calculating the total amount of interest income pursuant to Article 51 (7) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act with regard to calculation of interest income, it shall be deemed that the final return on tax base pursuant to Article 70 of the Act or the tax base and tax amount pursuant to Article 80 of the Act cannot be recovered from the debtor's bankruptcy, etc., and it shall be deemed that the interest income cannot be recovered from the whole or part of the principal and interest income amount collected from this case.

C) Ultimately, this part of the plaintiffs' assertion is without merit on the premise that Article 51 (7) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act can be applied to the plaintiffs of this case.

3) On the third, fourth argument

A) According to the evidence evidence No. 20, if KimF et al. borrowed money, it can be acknowledged that the defendant was convicted of five years of imprisonment due to the crime of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Fraud) on October 17, 2014 (Seoul Western District Court 2014Dahap97, 200 (combined)) by stating that it constitutes an individual investment contract of this case after the filing of the lawsuit of this case, and that the above contract constitutes a false declaration of intent as provided by Article 110 of the Civil Code, and that the defendant sent 10% of the principal and interest to KimF et al. for 3 months after the filing of the lawsuit of this case by mail, and that the plaintiffs were not guilty of the principal and interest payment of the contract of this case, and that the plaintiffs could not be acknowledged to have received from the plaintiff 10% of the principal and interest payment of this case as well as from the objective evidence No. 110% of this case's cancellation of the contract.

B) Ultimately, the plaintiffs' assertion on the existence of a legitimate and effective rescission of agreement or cancellation of the above contract on the individual contract of this case on the grounds of fraud such as KimF, etc. is without merit without further review.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, all of the plaintiffs' claims are dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
