[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1 through 6, Eul evidence 1 and 3, the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The instant disposition should be revoked on the grounds that it is unlawful for the following reasons.
(1) The value per share before the exchange of BB stocks shall be calculated as an unfair and supplementary method of assessment.
(2) Even if it is reasonable to calculate the value per share before the exchange of shares BB at the market price, the amount before the change is made under Article 31-9 (1) 5 (b) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act.
Since all of the values after the change apply the same evaluation method, each value shall be the same as the OO of the market, and different values after the change shall be the same as the OO of the market, there is no legal basis for calculating the amount after the change by applying Article 29 (3) 3 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act as
(3) For an all-inclusive share swap, the precedent where a shareholder of a complete parent company obtains a benefit from the shareholders of the complete parent company cannot be applied as it is. Thus, apart from the taxation under Articles 35 (Gift of Benefits from Transfer at Low Price and High Price) through 39 (Gift of Benefits from Transfer) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, in this case, the disposition of this case cannot be taken by applying Article 42 of the same Act.
B. Relevant statutes
It is as shown in the attached Form.
C. Determination
1) Judgment as to (1) Claim
In the case of unlisted stocks with less market value, where there is a fact that they are traded, the value of the stocks shall be evaluated by considering the transaction value as the market value and shall not be evaluated by the supplementary evaluation method stipulated in the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act. However, the market value means the objective exchange value formed by the general and normal transaction. As such, in order to be recognized as the market value, the circumstances should be acknowledged that the relevant transaction is made in a general and normal manner and the objective exchange value as at the date of donation should be appropriately reflected (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Du26988, Apr. 26, 2
(4) In the case of the above 20-10-60-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-8-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-7-8-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7
(2) Judgment on the claim
Article 35 (1) 2 and (2) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that "the donation of profits from the provisional transfer" shall be made to the "the donation of profits from the issuance of new shares at low prices" among the donations of profits from capital increase under each item of Article 39 (1) 1, while Article 42 (1) provides that "the donation of other profits" shall be made to the "the donation of profits from the issuance of new shares at low prices", and the provisions of Articles 33 through 39, 39-2, 39-3, 40, 41, 41-3 through 41-5, 44 and 45 provide that "the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act shall not apply to the case where profits from the transfer of shares are acquired above the standards prescribed by Presidential Decree, such as the conversion or conversion of shares from the price of shares at the time of conversion or conversion into shares (including the conversion into shares at the time of conversion into shares or conversion into shares, etc. after conversion into shares from the same price of shares:
Meanwhile, according to Article 360-2 of the Commercial Act, a company can become a company that owns the total number of shares issued by another company by an all-inclusive share swap (hereinafter referred to as "wholly owning parent company", and another company as "wholly owned subsidiary"). (Article 360-2) If an all-inclusive share swap is conducted, shares of the company that becomes a wholly owned subsidiary are transferred to a company that becomes a wholly owning parent company on the date of the share swap, and shareholders of the company that becomes the wholly owned subsidiary are allocated new shares issued by the company that becomes the wholly owning parent company for the share swap (Article 360-2).
As can be seen, an all-inclusive share swap under the Commercial Act is a combination of transactions where shares of a company becoming a complete subsidiary are transferred to a company becoming a complete parent company, and where shareholders of a company becoming a complete parent company receive an allocation of new shares related to consideration for shares of a company becoming a complete parent company from the company becoming a complete parent company, and become shareholders of a company becoming a complete parent company. Therefore, whether shareholders of a company becoming a complete subsidiary obtain profits through an all-inclusive share swap or whether the assessed value per share of shares of a company becoming a complete subsidiary is higher than the assessed value under the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, or whether the assessed value of new shares allocated by a company becoming a complete parent company was lower than the assessed value under the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, rather than the assessed value under the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, the difference between the assessed value of the shares of a company becoming a complete parent company becoming a complete parent company and the assessed value of the new shares allocated by a complete parent company becoming a complete parent company, the criteria for determining whether a comprehensive share swap can be applied through an all-inclusive share swap.
In full view of the structure and characteristics of the comprehensive exchange transaction of shares, and the legislative purport and system of the provisions related to the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act including the above provisions, gift tax shall be imposed on the profits earned by the shareholders of a complete parent company through an all-inclusive share swap by applying Article 42(1)3 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act to "the donation of profits from the transaction that increases the capital of the corporation". Article 31-9(2)5(b) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that the difference between the appraised value of shares before and after the change shall be appraised as the donated value before and after the change. In this case, in the case of non-listed shares such as BB shares in this case, the value of shares shall be assessed according to the market price pursuant to Article 60(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act, and there is no ground to view that the method of calculating shares before and after the comprehensive share exchange is different. Furthermore, the interpretation of the tax laws and regulations shall be interpreted as the interpretation, and it shall not be permitted to extend or increase the gift tax without reasonable reason.
Therefore, there is no evidence to deem that the value of BB shares held by the Plaintiff was appraised before and after the comprehensive exchange of shares under the contract of this case, that is, the market price was changed, and thus, Article 29(3)3 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act cannot be applied. Thus, the Plaintiff’s assertion pointing this out is
3) Sub-decisions
In the end, since the defendant's calculation method of the plaintiff's donated property was erroneous, the disposition of this case imposed according to the calculation method should be revoked illegally (as long as the disposition of this case is unlawful, the plaintiff's assertion that the plaintiff's main office and the defendant's ancillary disposition corresponding thereto are not judged separately)
3. Conclusion
Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case is accepted on the ground of the reasons.
