[Reasons for Recognition] Evidence No. 1-5, Evidence No. 6, Evidence No. 7, and the purport of the whole pleadings
2. The plaintiff's assertion and judgment
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The plaintiff's wife Kim ○, a representative director of the non-party company and the wife Kim ○, was registered as the shareholders of the non-party company by lending the plaintiff's name at the request of the non-party company Kim ○○, a wife, and was registered as the shareholders of the non-party company. The plaintiff's business from June 1989 to October 197, which had been employed in the plaintiff's ○○○ marine insurance company from June 1989 and had been employed in the ○○○○ insurance agency from November 1997 until now, is engaged in the insurance business, and the non-party company
B. Relevant statutes
It is as shown in the attached Form.
C. Determination on the legality of the instant disposition
(1) Whether the Plaintiff constitutes an oligopolistic shareholder under Article 39 of the Framework Act on National Taxes
In light of Gap evidence Nos. 6 and Eul evidence Nos. 2-1 and 2-2's purport, the plaintiff is an auditor from October 17, 1997 to April 11, 2002, which is the date of incorporation of the company, and the plaintiff's wife Kim ○, who was the plaintiff's wife, worked for each director from October 17, 1997 to December 10, 2002, which is the date of incorporation of the company, and is entered in the register of the non-party company's company's corporate register, and even "the shareholders status inquiry by the corporation", which is the computerized data of the National Tax Service, even though the non-party company's 5,00 shares of the non-party company, the plaintiff's wife Kim ○, the plaintiff's wife, has been recorded as 900 shares of the non-party company and 2,000 shares of 2,00 shares, barring any special circumstances such as the plaintiff's name stolen.
Meanwhile, the plaintiff asserted that the plaintiff's wife Kim ○, a wife of the plaintiff, was registered as a shareholder of the non-party company by lending the plaintiff's seal imprint without the plaintiff's consent upon the request of Kim ○, a wife of the plaintiff's wife, Kim ○, but the part of the witness Kim Kim ○'s testimony corresponding thereto is not believed, but it is insufficient to recognize that the plaintiff's name was stolen, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge that it was stolen.
(2) Whether the Plaintiff constitutes “a person who actually exercises the right to shares in excess of 51/100 of the total number of shares issued” or “a person who actually controls the management of a corporation”
However, there is no evidence to acknowledge that the Plaintiff actually exercised the Plaintiff’s own shares and the right to shares held by Kim ○, one’s wife, or that the Plaintiff participated in the management of the non-party company. Rather, it can be recognized that the Plaintiff’s wife Kim ○, who was the Plaintiff’s wife, was the representative director of the non-party company from the time of the establishment of the non-party company and was operating the non-party company until now. The remaining shareholders except the Plaintiff, Kim ○, Kim ○, and Kim ○, who were co-owners, were 82/100 of the total share shares issued by the non-party company. In light of the fact that the non-party company received a report on the performance of the tax withholding obligation for the income accrued in 199 and 201, the Plaintiff and the non-party company did not report the above employment income to the non-party company for more than 190 years and did not report it to the non-party company’s health and employment income for more than 190 years.
(3) Sub-decisions
Thus, the disposition of this case, which reported the plaintiff as the secondary tax obligor under Article 39 (1) 2 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, should be revoked as illegal.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is justified and it is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all.
