Reasons
1. Details of the disposition;
A. On November 5, 2012, a stock company 00 Roster Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “instant company”) was established and engaged in transportation business, and closed on December 31, 2013.

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, entry of Gap evidence 2, 4, 7, and 10, the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
Until March 2013, the Plaintiff served as the representative director of the instant company while holding the instant company’s shares, but thereafter, decided to sell the instant company, and transferred all documents necessary for the instant company’s sale, including the stock transfer contract, to 00. Thereafter, the representative director of the instant company was changed to Kim 00 on May 7, 2013. Since the said Kim 00 did not report the transfer of shares and the change of shares, the Plaintiff remains as a shareholder on the date of establishment of the liability to pay delinquent tax of the instant company due to the failure to report the transfer of shares, etc., and thus, the Plaintiff was not a substantial shareholder of the instant company prior to the date of establishment of the liability to pay delinquent tax of the instant company. Accordingly, the Defendant’s disposition based on this premise was unlawful.
B. Relevant statutes
It is as shown in the attached Form.
C. Determination
1) In order to impose the secondary tax liability on a stockholder of a corporation, the fact that the oligopolistic stockholder is in a position to be involved in the operation of the corporation as of the date on which the tax liability is established and the fact that the oligopolistic stockholder is registered in the register of stockholders, etc. of the corporation is not enough to impose the tax liability (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 91Nu7821, Jun. 11, 191). If the tax office imposes the secondary tax liability under Article 39 subparag. 2 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, the fact corresponding to the oligopolistic stockholder meeting the requirements under subparagraph 2 must be asserted and proved, but if the tax office submits data that can be seen as the oligopolistic stockholder by the list of stockholders, the statement of stock movement or the register of stockholders, etc., and the person who intends to be exempted from the liability as the secondary taxpayer shall prove the fact that the stockholder’s name was stolen or that it is merely a formal stockholder, etc.
(Supreme Court Decision 91Nu1721 delivered on July 23, 1991)
2) In light of the above legal principles, it is recognized that the Plaintiff already transferred the shares of the company of this case to 00 to transfer the shares of this case prior to the date on which the liability to pay delinquent tax of this case was established, and that the Plaintiff owned 100% of the shares of the company of this case as of the date on which the liability to pay delinquent tax of this case was established. The Plaintiff constitutes an oligopolistic shareholder under Article 39 subparagraph 2 of the Framework Act on National Taxes as of the date on which the liability to pay delinquent tax of the company of this case was established. Meanwhile, according to Gap's statement Nos. 1, 3, 5, 6, 11 and the court's request for delivery of documents to 00 district public prosecutor's office 00 district public prosecutor's office 00 district public prosecutor's office of this case to transfer the shares of the company of this case, the Plaintiff did not have any substantial reason to acknowledge that the Plaintiff did not constitute the Plaintiff's shares at the time of this case's transfer or 3000 local public prosecutor's office 000.
