3. Determination

1) Appraisal of rights under an insurance contract

A) Article 31(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that “The donated property shall include all things belonging to the donee and having economic value convertible into money and all de facto or de facto rights having property value.” Article 60 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provides that “The value of the property on which gift tax is levied under this Act shall be the market value as of the date of donation (paragraph (1)). Where it is difficult to calculate the market value, the market value shall be the value normally recognized to be established if transactions are conducted freely between many and unspecified persons (Paragraph (2). If it is difficult to calculate the market value, the value assessed by the methods prescribed in Articles 61 through 65 (3) shall be deemed the market value (Paragraph (3).” Article 65(1) of the same Act provides that “The value of the property shall be appraised by the method prescribed by Presidential Decree based on the nature, content, remaining period, etc. of the relevant right, and Article 60 subparag. 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on National Taxes shall be appraised the value of the property calculated based on the original value of the right until the date of appraisal.”

B) In light of the aforementioned relevant laws and regulations, the Plaintiffs succeeded to rights under each of the instant insurance contracts through the change of policyholders and beneficiaries regarding each of the instant insurance contracts on January 10, 201, as seen earlier, and thus, the status and rights of the policyholders and beneficiaries became donated property under Article 31(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act. In full view of the following circumstances, it is reasonable to view the “market price of each of the instant insurance contracts as of January 10, 201,” which is the acquisition date, as the payment insurance premium.

① In full view of the fact that Article 60(2) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides for a definition that corresponds to the essence of the market price and there is no other provision on the definition of the market price under the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act; Article 60(3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides for an alternative where it is difficult to compute the market price under Article 61 through 65 of the same Act; and Articles 61 through 65 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides for a method of reasonably estimating the market price, the value assessed by the methods under Articles 61 through 65 of the same Act pursuant to Article 60(3) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act constitutes the market price that serves as the basis for calculating the value of the property on which the gift tax is levied (see Supreme Court Decision 2012Du3200, Jun.

(2) In light of the fact that a contract takes effect upon the conclusion of a contract, and the right to withdraw an application is a right to escape from a contractual relationship simply when a consumer makes an offer or changes his/her intention within a specified period after concluding a contract, an insurance contract becomes effective upon the conclusion of a contract, and even if it exists within the period for withdrawing an application, a right under an insurance

③ The Plaintiffs succeeded to and acquired the rights and obligations under each of the instant insurance contracts by changing the EE to a policyholder, but the period of cancellation of each of the instant insurance contracts was not expired as of the date of the change. As such, the Plaintiffs acquired the right to refund the premium and the right to receive the installment fund following the cancellation of insurance contract according to the terms and conditions of the instant insurance

④ The right to refund insurance premiums constitutes conditional rights acquired when the condition of suspension, such as cancellation of order or termination, is fulfilled (the right to depend on whether the validity or termination of a conditional juristic act established only on the fulfillment of the future uncertain fact), the market price under Article 65(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act and Article 60 subparag. 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act can be assessed as “an adequate value in consideration of the fact that the market price constitutes the contents of conditions as of the evaluation base date based on the value of rights established in the future, the certainty of fulfillment of conditions, and all other circumstances,” and the fact that each insurance contract of this case can receive the total amount of the insurance premiums when the withdrawal of order is made within 15 days according to the terms and conditions of each insurance contract of this case.

On the other hand, the right to receive the installment payments is assessed against the market price under Article 65 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act and Article 62 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, and the market price is lower than the market price of the right to refund the

(5) If so, it is necessary to assess the rights of each insurance contract of this case by either the market price of the right to refund insurance premiums or the market price of the right to receive payment.

Even if an insurance contract is established and the contract becomes effective, the insurance claim is not an abstract right before the occurrence of the insurance accident, but can exercise its right from that time after the occurrence of the insurance accident (see Supreme Court Decision 2007Da19624, Nov. 13, 2008). Thus, the right of the policyholder to the insurance contract is an abstract insurance claim (in the case of a pension insurance, 'the maturity of the payment date of the insurance premium' shall be considered as an insurance accident for which specific insurance claims occur) of the right to refund the insurance premium to the Governor, and it is not determined as an insurance contract or an abstract insurance claim (in the case of a pension insurance, 'the maturity of the payment date of the insurance premium'). The supplementary evaluation method is applied when it is impossible to calculate the price traded by many unspecified persons, so it is reasonable to select the party whose market price is determined to be paid under the terms and conditions. However, the market price of the right to refund the insurance premium is not determined by calculating the amount of the insurance contract after the conclusion of the insurance contract or the gift tax base of gift tax.

Accordingly, the Plaintiffs asserts that the assessed value of the right to receive Periodical Fund, which is the actual remaining right, should be the market price. However, Article 60(1) of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act provides that the value of donated property shall be based on the market price as of the date of donation, and even if the Plaintiffs’ failure to exercise the right to withdraw subscription within the period and the non-performance of the conditions became final and conclusive,

2) Whether the principle of retroactive taxation prohibition is violated

The principle of trust and good faith, the principle of trust and good faith, or the principle of respect for non-taxable practices, in tax and legal relations, are exceptional legal principles applicable only to cases where there are special circumstances deemed that the protection of taxpayer’s trust is consistent with the justice even if the principle of legality is sacrificeed. Therefore, in order to apply the principle of trust and good faith or the principle of protection of trust to a tax authority’s act, the average taxpayer’s trust given by the tax authority through the public opinion list, etc. should be able to have a reasonable and justifiable expectation. Even if the tax authority expressed a certain opinion through inquiry, if it is a result of questioning without revealing the important facts and legal issues properly, it cannot be said that there is a trust that can have a legitimate expectation by the public opinion list. Furthermore, the principle of respect for non-taxable practices can be applied to the interpretation of the tax law generally accepted by the taxpayers regarding non-taxation or the practice of national tax administration, which is not a specific taxpayer, and thus, it is unreasonable to accept the general taxpayer as just, and it does not constitute an interpretation or practice of the tax law (see 2016).

In light of the above legal principles, the issue of how to evaluate the value of donated property by any method when changing the name of the health group, policyholder, and beneficiary is in the nature of the determination by examining the terms and conditions of the relevant insurance product, the details and timing of the change of policyholders, etc., and it is insufficient to view that the contents, etc. (Evidence A to No. 8 through No. 12) presented by the plaintiffs would result in the assessment methods of the right to receive the fixed amount of money in this case, which is sufficient for general taxpayers to have formed trust or practice to the extent that it would have been expected, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge it.

(iii) the existence of “justifiable cause” as a ground for exemption from an erroneous payment for unfaithful payment

Under the tax law, penalty taxes are administrative sanctions imposed in accordance with the law in cases where a taxpayer violates a duty to report and pay taxes without justifiable grounds in order to facilitate the exercise of the right to impose taxes and the realization of a tax claim, and the taxpayer’s intention and negligence is not considered, and the land or mistake of the law does not constitute justifiable grounds (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2013Du1829, May 23, 2013).

In light of the above legal principles, the content of the individual inquiry presented by the plaintiffs alone is insufficient to deem that the plaintiffs formed sufficient trust and practices to expect that the methods of evaluating the rights to receive a fixed amount of money for life are applied to this case. Therefore, the plaintiffs' assertion that the contents of the above inquiry were applied to this case, and that the above inquiry was performed with the belief that the contents of the above inquiry are applied to this case, cannot be deemed as a justifiable ground that constitutes a ground for exemption from penalty, since it is nothing more than the site or mistake of the law. Accordingly, the plaintiffs' assertion on this part is without merit.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, since each disposition of this case is legitimate, the plaintiffs' claim is dismissed in its entirety as it is without merit. Since the judgment of the court of first instance is unfair with some different conclusions, the appeal by the defendants is accepted, and the part against the defendants in the judgment of the court of first instance is revoked, and the plaintiffs' claim corresponding to the cancellation part is dismissed in its entirety. It is so decided as per Disposition.
