Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
According to the provisions of Articles 23(2) and (4), 45(1), and Article 170(3) of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 10977, Dec. 31, 1982) which was in force at the time of the transfer of land in this case, where the preliminary return on transfer margin or the final return on tax base is not made, the transfer margin may be determined based on the standard market price on the assumption that the actual transaction price is unclear. However, where the data to recognize the actual transaction price is submitted, the transfer margin may be determined based on the actual transaction price and the standard market price cannot be based on the actual transaction price. In the administrative litigation over the illegality of taxation, the parties concerned can submit arguments and materials supporting the objective tax liability until the closing of the lawsuit, so in the administrative litigation over the issue of imposition of the transfer income tax, the Plaintiff can submit evidence on the actual transaction price until the closing of argument proving the actual transaction price (see Supreme Court Decision 8Nu410, Feb. 8, 1985).
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
