Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
Article 13(1) of the Corporate Tax Act provides that when a domestic corporation appropriates allowances for severance benefits as deductible expenses in order to appropriate them for retirement benefits of its employees, they shall be included in deductible expenses within the scope of the amount determined by the Presidential Decree in calculating the income amount for the concerned business year. Article 18(2) of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act provides that allowances for severance benefits included in deductible expenses pursuant to Article 13 of the same Act shall be calculated within the limit of the amount equivalent to 1/10 of the total amount of salaries paid to employees who have worked continuously for one year. Article 7(1) of the Enforcement Rule of the same Act provides that where the business year is 1 year, 10 percent of the total amount of salaries paid per year shall be included in retirement benefits allowances. Article 13(2) of the same Rule provides that "total amount of salaries paid" in Article 21(1)1(a) of the Income Tax Act refers to the income falling under Article 21(1)1(a) of the same Act; Article 21(1)1(a) of the Corporate Tax Act provides that the amount of allowances and allowances paid for two months.

(13) is merely an instruction for administrative affairs inside the administrative agency, and it is not binding for the general public, and it is not effective against the above provisions of the Corporate Tax Act and the Enforcement Decree of the same Act. Therefore, there is no reason for the argument that the above provisions of the General Rules are effective as a law. In addition, in light of the provisions of Article 21 (1) of the Income Tax Act and Articles 61 and 43 and 8-2 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, Article 21 (1) of the Income Tax Act do not stipulate the scope of wage and salary, and each provision of Article 61 of the same Act and Articles 43 and 8-2 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, the monthly allowance and compensation should be excluded from the "total Benefit" under Article 18 (2) of the Enforcement Decree of the Corporate Tax Act, and the part
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.
