Reasons
1. Quotation of judgment of the first instance;
The reasons why the court should explain in this decision are as stated in the reasoning of the judgment of the court of first instance, except for the addition of the plaintiff's argument as stated in Paragraph 2 below, and therefore, it shall accept it in accordance with Article 8 (2) of the Administrative Litigation Act and Article 420 of the Civil Procedure Act.
2. Additional determination
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The instant provision was introduced in consideration of the characteristics of institutional investors, regardless of whether a financial holding company is a subsidiary. As such, if a dividend corporation is an institutional investor, it should be recognized that the subsidiary of the financial holding company is an institutional investor as well as exclusion from gross income. This can clearly confirm the legislative intent through the interpretation of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, which is the competent authority in the process of amending
B. Determination
In full view of the provisions of the relevant corporate tax laws and regulations applicable to the disposition of this case, including Article 18-3(1)4 and Article 18-2(1)4 of the Corporate Tax Act and Article 17-2(6) of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act,
Income for the purpose of double taxation adjustment on the dividend income of an ordinary domestic corporation such as the Plaintiff
Under Article 18-3 of the Corporate Tax Act, the double taxation adjustment on the dividend income of a holding company
section 18-2 of the Corporate Tax Act provides for the exclusion of profits dividends from taxable income
In addition, the proviso of Article 18-2 (1) 4 of the Corporate Tax Act, and Article 18-2 (1) 4 (a), (b), and (c) of the Corporate Tax Act provide for both the "subsidiary" under the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act or the "Financial Holding Companies Act". In full view of all the circumstances cited earlier, if a dividend corporation is an institutional investor, it cannot be deemed that the provision of this case is applicable mutatis mutandis to the plaintiff as an ordinary corporation.
Furthermore, the amendment of Articles 18-2 and 18-3 of the Corporate Tax Act is aimed at excluding the inclusion of the subsidiaries in the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the dividends from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the exclusion from the dividends.
3. Conclusion
Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case shall be dismissed due to the lack of reason, and the judgment of the court of first instance is just, and thus, the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed (On the other hand, considering all the circumstances asserted in the reference document of January 30, 2015, which was submitted by the plaintiff after the date of closing the argument of this case, it is insufficient to reverse the above judgment).
