[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1 to 5, Eul evidence 4 to 7 (including each number), the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Determination as to the cause of action

A. Article 107(2)5 of the former Local Tax Act (amended by Act No. 12153, Jan. 1, 2014); Article 107(2)5 of the same Act provides that a truster, who is not a trustee, shall be liable for property tax. Article 22(1) of the Trust Act allows compulsory execution, auction for exercising a security right, preservative measures, national taxes, etc. against a trust property only when the right arising before the trust or the right arising in the course of performing the trust affairs is due. However, where a truster transfers the ownership of the real estate to a trustee and a trust relationship is established under the Trust Act between the parties, the trust property cannot be deemed as the truster’s property any longer after the trust is entirely transferred to the trustee, and the property tax imposed upon the truster as a taxpayer on the trust property after the trust cannot be deemed as falling under the “right arising from a cause arising before the trust” under Article 22(1) of the Trust Act, and such property is not included in the “right arising from the trust affairs” under the same paragraph.

On the other hand, a taxation claim is a right that is recognized as a priority right and a right to self-performance under the National Tax Collection Act, and of which private autonomy is recognized, and its establishment and exercise can only be determined by Acts and subordinate statutes, and the parties cannot arbitrarily determine its contents, etc. in order to protect the people from unfair tax collection and ensure fairness in tax burden. As a legal relationship under public law, an administrative litigation is subject to the Administrative Litigation Act in principle, and a tax is distinguishable from a legal claim under private law in that it has the characteristics of public interest and public nature. Therefore, realizing the ultimate satisfaction of a taxation claim by imposing or guaranteeing a tax obligation on a person without a tax liability under a contract that is not a tax law, not a tax law, is contrary to the inherent nature of the taxation mentioned above, and it is not permissible for a taxation authority to arbitrarily expand the scope of establishment and exercise of a taxation claim without statutory provisions for convenience in tax collection (see Supreme Court Decision 2016Da224961, Aug. 29, 2017).

B. In full view of the following circumstances, it is reasonable to interpret that the "tax and public charges, such as property tax, etc. notified in the name of the bank not later than the date of the agreement on the receipt of the balance of disposal under Article 23 (1) 1 (a) of the instant trust agreement, which is appropriated by the Plaintiff AA Bank in the first order when it realized the instant real estate and settle the proceeds of its disposal pursuant to the instant trust agreement, include only the taxes and public charges imposed by the Plaintiff AA Bank as the taxpayer in relation to

1) The amount of money that the Defendants demanded the Plaintiff AA Bank to pay from the proceeds from the disposal of the instant real estate is the property tax and other taxation claims imposed by the Defendant Republic of Korea and the 00-Gu onCCland, the truster of the instant real estate, and the Plaintiff A Bank, the trustee of the instant real estate, not only under the instant trust contract, which is a private contract, cannot be deemed to bear the above taxation obligations against the Defendant Republic of Korea and the 00-Gu.

2) In addition, in light of the purpose of the instant trust agreement and the intent of the parties to the contract, etc., it is difficult to regard Article 23(1)1(a) of the said trust agreement as a contract for a third party for the purpose of having Defendant Republic of Korea and 00 the trustee acquire the right to Plaintiff AB bank directly. Even if there is room to regard the said provision as a contract for a third party, it is also true that Defendant Republic of Korea and 00 Gu can not acquire or exercise a tax claim against Plaintiff AB bank under the instant trust agreement, which is a private contract.

3) As seen earlier, tax claims against a trustee cannot be newly established pursuant to a trust contract, which is a private law contract, and it cannot be distributed to the truster in the auction procedure of the executing court on the trust property, or upon the truster’s taxation claims. Thus, even in cases where the trustee fails to pay taxes and public charges, such as the property tax or comprehensive real estate tax, imposed on the truster when settling the disposal price of the trust property, the local government cannot directly exercise the truster’s taxation claim. Thus, there is no substantial significance to interpret that the trustee includes the tax and public charges imposed on the truster. Further, among the claims stipulated under Article 23(1) of the trust contract of this case, it is reasonable to view the remainder of the claims except for the above taxes and public charges imposed on the truster (such as the trustee’s remuneration, the lessee’s deposit prior to the registration of the trust, and the creditor’s claim, etc.) to be appropriated at the time of settlement of the disposal price, regardless of the creditor’s right under Article 23(1) of the above Act.

4) As to "the time limit for the right to conduct the trust affairs, which is one of the reasons exceptionally provided for in Article 21(1) of the former Trust Act (wholly amended by Act No. 10924, Jul. 25, 2011; hereinafter the same shall apply), which was in force at the time of the instant trust contract, to which case the trust property under the Trust Act belongs wholly and externally to the trustee and is not reserved to the truster in the internal relationship with the truster, and Article 21(1) of the former Trust Act does not include only the right to conduct the trust affairs as the debtor, considering the fact that the trust property under the Trust Act is not reserved to the truster in order to ensure the independence of the trust property in order to smoothly achieve the purpose of the trust (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Du4612, Jul. 25, 201).

5) Meanwhile, Article 16 of the instant trust agreement provides that taxes and public charges on real estate held in trust shall be borne by the truster, and where the truster does not pay them at the time of payment, the truster shall pay them on behalf of the truster, including damages for delay. In principle, the truster bears the burden of the truster. If the trustee pays the taxes and public charges imposed on the truster in connection with the real estate held in trust on behalf of the truster pursuant to Article 16(4) of the instant trust agreement instead of the money to be paid by the truster, the cost may be settled first than the money to be paid to the beneficiary. In such a case, the tax claims of the State or the local government may result in the result that the truster obtains preferential satisfaction than the right of the beneficiary. However, the tax charges and public charges imposed on the truster under Article 23(1)1(a) of the instant trust agreement shall be interpreted as naturally included in the tax charges imposed on the truster in consideration of such circumstances.

6) In light of Article 183(1) and (2) of the former Local Tax Act (wholly amended by Act No. 10221, Mar. 31, 2010) that was enforced at the time of the conclusion of the instant trust contract, the truster is liable to pay property tax in cases of a trust property registered under the trustee’s name pursuant to the Trust Act, and in cases of a trust property not registered under the trustee’s name even if it is a trust property, the truster is liable to pay property tax in cases of a trust property registered under the trustee’s name; and in cases of a trust property not registered under the trustee’s name, the actual owner of the property, which is the person liable to pay tax, and the trustee becomes liable to pay tax (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Du26852, Nov. 27, 2014). Thus

C. Therefore, each of the instant deposit money is not the amount that should be settled first to Defendant Republic of Korea, 00 Gu, or Defendant trustee in bankruptcy, who is a truster, but the amount that should be paid to the preferential beneficiary. Thus, each of the instant deposit money is the priority beneficiary under the trust contract of this case, and each of the instant deposit money should be paid in proportion to the plaintiffs. Considering the purport of the argument in Gap evidence 6, the distributed amount based on the plaintiffs' claim value of the 1st deposit money as stated in attached Table 1,260, 293,067, Plaintiff BB bank's 12,287,857, 403, Plaintiff FFFFF distribution corporation's 1,890,439, and Plaintiff CFFF distribution corporation's 285, 2586, 365, 2586, 365, 258, 365, 200, 365, 365, 286, 5, 360, 5, 2, 5, 5, etc.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiffs' claims shall be accepted for the reasons of the reasons, and it is decided as per Disposition.
