2. As to the plaintiff's assertion that the above taxation disposition is legitimate, the above establishment of the above branch office is merely a maintenance of the existing branch office in order to continue to conduct the business of the non-party lender's previous business, and it does not constitute an object of taxation under the above provisions of the Local Tax Act. Thus, the defendant's taxation disposition of this case is illegal since the defendant's acquisition of real estate ownership other than farmland is not an object of taxation under Article 131 (1) 3 (2) of the Local Tax Act. The above provision of Article 38 (1) of the same Act provides that the tax rate of the above real estate shall not be five times the corresponding tax rate stipulated in Articles 131 and 137 of the Act because the plaintiff's new establishment of the branch office of the non-party lender's new business by changing the above provision of the Local Tax Act's establishment of the head office to the non-party lender's new business to the extent that the above provision of the Act's new establishment of the main office or branch office within the non-party's new business.
