Evidence Nos. 3 through 10, each entry of evidence Nos. 2 through 7, and the purport of the whole pleadings, based on recognition
C. Determination
(1) Whether the Plaintiff resided in the instant apartment for more than two years
(A) As acknowledged earlier, from December 27, 1995 to June 15, 2007, the Plaintiff was subject to a move-in report at ○○○-dong, Seoul, ○○○-dong, 31-5, other than the instant apartment, and was engaged in work at ○○○buk-do, Inc., Ltd., a company located in ○○○○○, from around 1996 to around 2004. First, if the Plaintiff is registered in the resident registration card as residing in another place, the Plaintiff is presumed to have resided in other places than the instant apartment as recorded in the resident registration card (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 85Nu72, Mar. 11, 1986; 85Nu72, Mar. 11, 1986); and as alleged by the Plaintiff, it is difficult to recognize that the Plaintiff had resided in the instant apartment after the acquisition of the instant apartment and resided in the instant apartment from July 2002 to the beginning of that.
(B) Ultimately, there is no evidence to acknowledge the plaintiff's assertion that he had resided in the apartment of this case for more than two years, and the above assertion is without merit.
(2) Whether any inevitable reason exists
(A) Article 89 (1) 3 of the Income Tax Act and the main sentence of Article 154 (1) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provide that where one household has one house in Korea as of the date of their departure and where the period of possession is not less than three years (in cases of a house located in Seoul Special Metropolitan City, etc., the period of possession of the relevant house is not less than three years and the period of residence is not less than two years): Provided, That the proviso of Article 154 (1) of the Enforcement Decree shall not be subject to any restriction on the period of possession and residence, and subparagraph 2 (c) of the same Article provides that "where it comes to fall under any of the following subparagraphs, it shall not be subject to any restriction on the period of possession and residence" and "where it moves the house to another Eup under the provisions of Article 2 (3) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act and subparagraph 3 (including cases where it is transferred within 2 years from the date of entry into Korea, and where it is transferred within 3 years from the date of entry into Seoul Special Metropolitan City and rural areas (hereinafter referred to 313).
(B) The interpretation of tax laws and regulations shall be interpreted in accordance with the law, barring any special circumstances, and it shall not be permitted to expand or analogical interpretation without reasonable grounds. In addition, comprehensively taking into account the legislative intent and legislative background of the above provisions, the language and text of the provision, and the structure of the proviso of Article 54(1)2 and subparagraph 3 of the Enforcement Decree, and the systematic relationship between the above subparagraph 3, "where a house is transferred for unavoidable reasons, such as situations of work under Article 71(3)2 of the Enforcement Rule by delegation, it is presumed that the relocation of the house to another Si/Gun does not naturally include the relocation of the house to another Si/Gun under Article 71(3)2 of the Enforcement Rule by delegation (see Supreme Court Decision 2012Du3972, Jul. 5, 2012), and the proviso of the Enforcement Decree of the Income Tax Act, even if the plaintiff, among reconstruction of the apartment house of this case, failed to meet the requirement of residence under Article 15(1)1 of the apartment house reconstruction or the apartment house of this case.
(D) Ultimately, the Plaintiff’s above assertion is without merit.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim seeking the revocation of the disposition of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
