2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The lineal ascendant under Article 53 subparagraph 2 of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act") refers to a lineal ascendant who is alive at the time of donation, and the defendant's disposition of this case, which is otherwise reported by the defendant, is unlawful, even though it conforms to the taxation principle that allows the deduction of donated property if the lineal ascendant receives a donation again from the lineal ascendant, is in accordance with the above, since it is imposed the inheritance tax by including 498,70,000 won in the taxable value of donated property, including 30,000,000,000 won, which is the donated property
(b) Related statutes;
It is as shown in the attached Table related statutes.
C. Determination
In light of the following, Article 53 of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that a donee, who received a donation for ten years from a lineal ascendant or descendant, shall uniformly deduct 30 million won, regardless of the number or frequency of the donor, regardless of the number of lineal ascendants or descendants. If the credit limit differs depending on the number of lineal ascendants or descendants, it is possible to avoid the gift tax bypassing other lineal ascendants or descendants, and as a result, as the donor receives a donation from a large number of lineal ascendants or descendants, the amount of the gift tax may vary depending on the amount of tax to be borne by the same taxpayer as the value of the donated property may vary, and thus, there is a reasonable reason to determine such legislators. The same applies to the case where the donor died as long as the property was donated for ten years, the Plaintiff’s above assertion is without merit.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
