[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, Eul 3, 4, 5, and 6, testimony of witness friendlyB, and the purport of the whole pleadings
D. Determination
1) The system of recognizing representatives under Article 106(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act is not based on the facts that such a representative has generated income, but rather requires the representative to consider certain facts that can be recognized as such in order to prevent an unfair act under tax law by a corporation as a bonus to a unconditional representative regardless of their substance. The representative is substantially a representative operating the company. Thus, even if a person is registered as a representative on the corporate register of the company, if there is no actual operation of the company, it cannot be imposed on the person whose income the representative has accrued to him/her (see Supreme Court Decision 87Nu1238, Apr. 12, 198). However, since a person who is registered as a representative on the corporate register can be presumed as operating the company substantially, the representative director on the corporate register must prove that he/she has actually failed to operate the company (see Supreme Court Decision 2010Du1116, Dec. 23, 2010).
2) In light of the above legal principles, the Plaintiff alleged that the Plaintiff was consistently involved in the management from the time when he was investigated by the investigative agency regarding the issuance and receipt of false tax invoices under XX, and that only the name of the representative director was lent upon the request of high school DoB, ParkB, and ParkB. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office also made a statement consistent with the Plaintiff's assertion. ② The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office decided that the Plaintiff was suspected of violating the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act, violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (Delivery of False Tax Invoice) on the ground that there is insufficient evidence to acknowledge that the Plaintiff was the actual representative of the company, and that the Plaintiff did not actually receive a summary order against the violation of the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act. However, the Plaintiff did not appear to have received the Plaintiff's reply to the Plaintiff's entry of the company under the name of the head of the company under the name of the company and the representative director of the company under the name of the head of the company under the name of the company under the name of the Plaintiff.
3. Conclusion
The plaintiff's claim is justified and thus acceptable.
