We examine the grounds of appeal.
Article 170(1) and (4) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 12767, Aug. 1, 1989); however, in case where the actual transaction price at the time of transfer or acquisition is confirmed in transactions with the State, a local government, or other corporations, the actual transaction price at the time of such transfer or acquisition shall be determined based on the standard market price. However, in case where the confirmation is made by means of a report or an inspection other than a transaction with a corporation, or where the actual transaction price is confirmed after the final return date of the tax base of transfer income tax, the transfer margin shall be determined based on the actual transaction price and the other transaction price shall be determined based on the standard market price (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 86Nu752, Feb. 24, 1987; 87Nu767, Apr. 11, 198; 9Nu2642, Jun. 12, 1990).
The court below's above opinion is just as it is judged in accordance with the grounds for reversal of the judgment remanded in this case, and there is no error of law by misunderstanding the legal principles as pointed out.
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.
