2. Determination on the legitimacy of the disposition
A. The plaintiff's assertion
(1) In light of the following, the transfer value of the instant shares shall be calculated on the basis of the market price at the time of October 5, 200, which is the transfer date.
- According to Article 68(1)3 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 17033, Dec. 29, 2000; hereinafter the same), since the time when the assets of a corporation are transferred is the date of settlement of the price, the transfer value of the stocks of this case shall be calculated based on October 5, 200, which is the date of settlement of the price.
According to Article 41 of the Corporate Tax Act and Article 72 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, in the case of an exchange transaction between shares, the transfer value of transferred shares should be calculated as the market value at the time of acquisition of the shares acquired.
- In exchanging the instant stocks and the instant ○○○ Stocks, the Plaintiff and the Man legal representative did not set the price of the instant stocks at KRW 390,000 per week (this was confirmed in the judgment above), and even if the Plaintiff and the Man legal representative had determined the price of the stocks to be exchanged between Man legal representative and Man legal representative, in light of the purport that the provision of the above corporate tax law does not arbitrarily evaluate the value of the acquired assets in an exchange transaction between assets, the transfer value of the instant stocks cannot be calculated on the basis of the price determined by the agreement between the Plaintiff
- Therefore, in principle, the transfer value of the instant shares should be calculated based on the objective value of the part corresponding to the instant shares out of the ○○ shares that the Plaintiff acquired from her knives, but it is difficult to calculate the objective value due to such reasons as the management premium is included, etc. Therefore, the market value of the instant shares in relation to the instant ○○ shares, etc. can be deemed as the transfer value of the instant shares (the same position in the above point of view with the Defendant and the judgment above).
(2) In addition, the market price at the time of October 5, 200, which is the date of the transfer of stocks of this case, is 258,000 won per share. Based on this, the transfer value and corporate tax of the stocks of this case, and the tax base and tax amount of securities transaction tax shall be calculated.
(3) Nevertheless, each of the dispositions of this case was made after calculating the respective tax base and tax amount of the transfer value and corporate tax of this case, securities transaction tax, and securities transaction tax, based on the closing price of 346,000 won, which is the market price of the stock of this case as of July 25, 2000 (the closing price of the Stock Exchange, which is close to the close price of July 25, 2000, which would rather be the market price at the time of July 26, 200).

D. Determination
(1) In determining the tax base of the corporate tax and securities transaction tax, the calculation of the transfer amount of shares of this case
According to Articles 13, 14(1) of the Corporate Tax Act, Articles 14(1), 14(1) and (3), 19, and 41 of this Act, and subparagraphs 2, 19(2), and 72(1)5 of Article 11 of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act, the corporate tax base is basically a corporation’s income for the relevant business year; the income for the relevant business year is the amount calculated by deducting the total amount of losses from the total amount of gross income for the relevant business year; where a corporation transfers its assets, the transfer amount of the assets shall be the gross income; and the book value at
On the other hand, the method of calculating the transfer value of assets is at issue where a corporation selects the exchange as a method of transferring assets. As seen above, corporate tax is at issue in its nature and corporate tax is at issue in calculating the amount of income for a specific business year after deducting the total amount of losses from the total amount of earnings for the pertinent business year is ultimately identical to the total amount of gains obtained by deducting losses from the total amount of earnings for each transaction. Thus, in light of the principle of substantial taxation, the income gained by the corporation through the exchange of assets owned by it is consistent with the gains from transfer that it gains from the transfer of assets owned by it. In light of the principle of substantial taxation, the transfer value, which forms the basis of calculating the transfer value, should be calculated by the objective value of assets acquired by the corporation as a consideration for transfer of assets owned by it (this legal doctrine is equally applied to cases where both parties agree on the transfer value of each assets subject to exchange, and it can be interpreted that the transfer value of assets at issue at the time of the exchange reaches the agreement between each corporation and the transfer value of assets at will.
In light of the above legal principles, in determining the corporate tax base for 200 business year for the plaintiff, the transfer amount of the shares of this case to be included in gross income shall be calculated according to the objective value, i.e., the market price at the time of acquisition, by the number obtained by multiplying the number of the shares of this case by 9.75, which is the exchange ratio with ○○ Stocks of this case (hereinafter referred to as the "the portion of ○○○ Stocks of this case"), among the shares of this case, the number of the shares of this case, which are acquired in return for the transfer of the shares of this case by the plaintiff, (hereinafter referred to as "the part of ○○ Stocks of this case").
(2) Whether the initial disposition and each of the dispositions of this case are legitimate
(A) As seen above, the original disposition is imposed on the premise that the transfer value of the shares of this case was agreed between the Plaintiff and Cho Mandong, etc. at KRW 390,00 per share, and the corporate tax, etc. is corrected and imposed on the premise that the transfer value of the shares of this case was decided to be KRW 390,000 per share between the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff, Mandong, etc. according to the above facts, even if there is room to view that the price per share of the shares of this case was determined to be KRW 390,000 per share between the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff, Mandong, etc., in light of the legal principles as seen earlier, the market value of the assets acquired in return for
(B) On the other hand, each of the dispositions of this case, under the premise that the transfer date of this case was July 25, 2000, based on the market price of 346,000 won per share at the time of transfer, was calculated based on the determination of the National Tax Tribunal’s determination, and the amount of corporate tax, etc. imposed on the corporate tax calculated by the initial disposition was reduced, and each of the dispositions of this case is unlawful in the following two respects.
- Pursuant to Article 68(1)3 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act, if a corporation transfers stocks, the transfer price shall be deemed the date of liquidation, and as seen above, the Plaintiff and Chondong shall be deemed the date of liquidation. As seen above, the Plaintiff and Chondong shall actually exchange the stocks of this case and the 66,69,526,019 won, and the ○○○ Stocks of this case on October 5, 200, the transfer date of the stocks of this case shall be October 5, 200.
- Where a corporation exchanges its own shares with another person’s shares, the market price of the shares acquired as a result of the exchange should be deemed the transfer value of its shares. In calculating the transfer value of the shares of this case, each of the dispositions of this case did not follow the market price of the shares of this case acquired by the Plaintiff in return for the calculation of the transfer value of the shares of this case, and the market price of the shares transferred by the Plaintiff was the transfer value of the shares.
(3) Judgment on the Plaintiff’s assertion
The transfer date of the instant shares is October 5, 200. Since the market price of the instant shares at the time of the transfer is 258,000 won, based on the Plaintiff’s assertion that the transfer price of the instant shares should be calculated and that the corporate tax, etc. should be determined accordingly, it is reasonable to point out the Plaintiff’s claim on the transfer date of the instant shares. However, as seen above, the transfer price of the instant shares is not the market price at the time of the transfer date of the instant shares, but the market price at the time of the acquisition date of the portion of the instant shares (which is consistent with the transfer date of the instant shares) to acquire the instant shares in return for the transfer of the instant shares. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s above assertion is inappropriate (i.e., the court’s determination that each of the instant dispositions was unlawful, but the Defendant’s determination was maintained, and thus, decides the direction of the Plaintiff’s assertion to present the
(4) Sub-determination
Therefore, each of the dispositions of this case by the defendant is unlawful, and since the data submitted in the records and pleadings cannot be calculated on the sole basis, the whole of each of the dispositions of this case must be revoked.
3.In conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case shall be accepted on the grounds of its reasoning, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
