Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 86Gu320 decided August 25, 1986
Text
The part of the lower judgment against the Plaintiff is reversed, and that part of the case is remanded to the Seoul High Court.
The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal dismissed shall be assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
1. The defendant's grounds of appeal are examined.
Article 60 of the Income Tax Act delegates the determination of the standard market price under Articles 23 (4) and 45 (1) 1 of the same Act under the conditions as prescribed by the Presidential Decree. Based on this, Article 115 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provides that the value assessed by the rate method in the case of land and buildings prescribed by the Commissioner of the National Tax Service, and that in other areas, the standard market price under the Local Tax Act shall be the standard market price. [In the case of the proviso of paragraph (1) 1 (a) and (b), the former part of subparagraph 1 (b)] and paragraph (2) of the same Article provides that the method of calculating the standard market price under the Local Tax Act at the time of transfer [in the case of the proviso of paragraph (1) 1 (b), the rate shall be determined by the amount computed by multiplying the rate determined by the Commissioner of the National Tax Service based on the actual market price of the land and building similar to that calculated by the above method, and that the method of calculating the profits from the transfer of real estate shall be determined differently by 16 (Article 17 (2.15).7).
see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision
According to the facts established by the court below, the plaintiff's acquisition of the land of this case is 197 March 25, 1977 and publicly announced in a specific area. The plaintiff's transfer of the land of this case is 15 February 15, 1978, and since it is clear that the land of this case was not located in the specific area at the time of its acquisition, and when the Commissioner of the National Tax Service determines the method of calculating the real estate acquisition price in a specific area publicly notified as the standard market price table by the National Tax Service on February 15, 1977, the real estate acquired after January 1, 197 shall be calculated by multiplying the land grade at the time of its acquisition by a multiple investigated by the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (Presidential Decree No. 8960 of Apr. 24, 1978) and Article 115 (1) 1 and 170 (2) of the Enforcement Decree of the above Act is unlawful. Thus, the court below's determination of the acquisition price of the above land is justified.
2. The plaintiff's grounds of appeal are examined as follows.
Article 115(3) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act provides that the standard market price at the time of its acquisition shall be the value converted according to the method as determined by the Ordinance of the Ministry of Finance and Economy in case of assets in a specific area under Article 115(1)1(a) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act with no ratio of the specific area at the time of its acquisition. This is interpreted as a provision applicable in case where the transferred asset is located in a specific area at the time of its acquisition but there is no ratio of the ratio (see Supreme Court Decision 86Nu576 delivered on January 20, 1987). In case where the transferred asset is not located in a specific area at the time of its acquisition and there is no ratio of the ratio, the standard market price by the above ratio or conversion method shall not be applied, and both the transfer value and the acquisition value shall be calculated based on the standard market price under
As seen earlier, since the land was located in a specific area at the time of its transfer but the ratio was not determined at the time of its acquisition, both the transfer value and the acquisition value shall be calculated by the taxation standard amount under the Local Tax Act. The court below decided that the transfer value of the land should be calculated by the above ratio method, and the acquisition value should be calculated by the above conversion method. The court below's decision is erroneous in the misapprehension of the legal principles as to the calculation of the standard market price.
3. Therefore, the part of the judgment of the court below against the plaintiff is reversed, and that part of the case is remanded to the court below. The defendant's 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 on the bench.
