2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
Article 49 (5) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act shall apply to the area recognized as the market price.
The location and use category and the standard market price are identical or similar. Since the apartment of this case is considerably different from the comparative apartment of this case, the apartment of this case is unlawful in the disposition of this case based on the transaction example of the comparative apartment of this case.
B. Relevant statutes
The entries in the attached Table-related statutes are as follows.
(c) Fact of recognition;
1) The comparative apartment of this case is the same area located in the same complex as the apartment of this case
The apartment building of this case among the 15th apartment building is located on the 12th floor, and the comparative apartment of this case is located on the 3rd floor, and the building is located on the south side of the comparative apartment of this case, and the apartment of this case has a view in the king direction.
2) Specific Dong number, size, location, and transaction date of the apartment of this case and the comparative apartment of this case
i. The amount of transactions, and the standard market price are as follows:
Facts without any dispute, Gap's evidence 4 through 9, Eul's evidence 1 and 2, and the purport of the whole pleading.
D. Determination
The main text of Article 60(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that the value of the property on which the gift tax is levied shall be the market value as of the date of donation, and Article 60(2) of the same Act provides that the market value under paragraph (1) of the same Article shall be the value which is generally accepted in cases of free transactions between many and unspecified persons and which is recognized as the market value under the conditions as prescribed by the Presidential Decree, such as the expropriation, public sale price, appraisal price, etc. In addition, Article 49(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provides that the transaction value in cases of a transaction of the relevant property during the period of three months before or after the date of donation shall be the market value (Article 1) and Article 60(5) of the same Act provides that the transaction value shall be deemed the market value in cases where there is a transaction fact of the relevant property, location, use, and category,
As above, Article 60(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act declares the principle of market value in the valuation of donated property. Article 60(2) of the same Act provides for a broad standard that the market value is formed through a general and normal transaction, which can be recognized as the market value on the premise that an objective exchange value should be adequately reflected, and delegates the specific scope to the Presidential Decree. Therefore, applying Article 49(5) and Article 49(1)1 of the Enforcement Decree upon delegation, in order to consider the transaction value of similar property generated within three months before and after the date of donation as the market value of donated property, there is no price change between the date of donation and the date of transaction of similar property as at the date of donation (see Supreme Court Decision 2011Du3038, Apr. 26, 2012).
In light of the following circumstances, i.e., (i) the apartment of this case and the Dong and the number of floors are different from each other; (ii) the apartment of this case among the 15th apartment building is located in the 12th floor and is generally superior to the comparative apartment of this case located in the 3rd floor; and (iii) the apartment of this case is located in the 5th apartment of this case with the 512,000,000,000 won in the standard market price of the 5th apartment of this case, considering the fact that the actual sale price of this case was 710,00,000,00 won in the 5th apartment of this case and the above facts, it is reasonable to view that the combination apartment of this case was traded adjacent to the donation date of this case, but its location is similar to that of the apartment of this case; and (iv) the defendant's sale price of this case is identical or similar to the sale price of the apartment of this case, and there is no objective reason to view that there was a sudden change at the sale price at the time of this case.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
