Whether a disposition of capital gains tax on the right to sell apartment units, which is considered as one house for one household, subject to non-taxation of capital gains tax, is void automatically (negative)
Summary of Judgment
Article 5 subparagraph 6 (i) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 4019 of Dec. 26, 198) and Article 15 (1) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 12509 of Aug. 25, 1988) impose capital gains tax on the right to sell apartment, which is regarded as one house for one household and regarded as one house subject to non-taxation from capital gains tax. However, although such errors are serious, they cannot be deemed as objectively obvious even if they are serious, they cannot be deemed as invalid as a matter of course.
