Purport of claim

The Defendant’s disposition of imposition of global income tax of 18,708,470 won for the year 2002 against the Plaintiff on March 1, 2008, global income tax of 17,851,210 won for the year 2003, global income tax of 15,224,090 won for the year 2004, global income tax of 5,704,480 for the year 2006 is revoked.

Reasons

1. Details of the disposition;

A. The Plaintiff received lecture fees from various companies during the period from 2002 to 2006 after receiving lectures from various companies, and received the lecture fees. In filing a comprehensive income tax return for the year 2002, 2003, and 2006, the Plaintiff returned each salary received from the Preferred University as earned income, and filed a return of lecture fees and part of the earnings received from the above companies as other income in the corresponding year of each corresponding year (However, in 2002, the Plaintiff reported 80,456,830 of the lecture fuel income as other income, and the remaining 43,308,340 of the lecture fuel income as other income, respectively). On January 23, 2008, the Defendant sent a notice to the Plaintiff to correct the type of income as other income as the income tax for each corresponding year.

B. After that, the Defendant, on March 1, 2008, deemed that the Plaintiff did not comply with the foregoing notification of the global income tax return and that the Plaintiff was a business income, not other than other income, and determined and notified the Plaintiff of KRW 18,708,470 of the global income tax for the year 2002, KRW 17,851,210 of the global income tax for the year 2003, and KRW 15,224,090 of the global income tax for the year 204, KRW 5,704,480 of the global income tax for the year 2006 (hereinafter “each of the instant dispositions”).

2. Whether the disposition is lawful;

A. The plaintiff's assertion

The Plaintiff, while serving as a professor at the Sweak University, was in the form of a social organization called "International Peace Research Institute" and was engaged in social activities. In this regard, the Plaintiff received a demand for lectures from various enterprises and received the payment for lectures in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2006. However, the Defendant’s disposition of this case, based on the premise that the Plaintiff’s annual fuel income falls under business income in each of the pertinent years, is unlawful, as long as he/she received a demand for lectures from the above organizations without basis in employment relationships or any other forms of contractual relationship. However, the Plaintiff provided the services of 'the lecture' whenever he/she received a demand for lectures from the above organizations without being based on the employment relationship or any other form of contractual relationship, and received the payment for the said services. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s annual fuel income acquired in 202, 203, 2004, and 206 should be deemed to fall under a typical income, not business income.

(4) In 2005, among the companies that the Plaintiff conducted lectures, (a) ○○ Tech, Korea Industrial Development Training Institute, etc. was not in an employment relationship with the Plaintiff as an industrial educational institution that provided education to its employees pursuant to a contract concluded with the companies, but did not separately engage in an employment relationship with the Plaintiff. However, upon receiving a request for planning educational programs from the customer companies, the Plaintiff entrusted the Plaintiff with lectures whenever necessary. Accordingly, the Plaintiff was demoted from the above companies, mainly on the issues such as conflict of interest and change innovation.
