Seongnam Administrative Litigation Attorney | Client Assessed Roughly 300 Million Won in Penalty Surcharges Obtains a Revocation Judgment

The client explained that they had been unfairly subjected to a penalty surcharge imposition by the head of the district office,

and the account that the Seongnam administrative litigation attorney reviewed was as follows.

The client explained that about ten or so years ago, they purchased a parcel of land from the client's younger brother and then started running a restaurant business on that land.

The client then completed the ownership transfer registration procedure a few months ago, but the district office imposed a penalty surcharge of about 300 million won, claiming that the client was a long-term non-registrant.

The client argued that there was a reason for the delay in the ownership transfer registration procedure and that the penalty surcharge imposed by the district office was unjust.

The client asked the Seongnam administrative litigation attorney to help obtain a judgment revoking that penalty surcharge imposition.

The client was assessed a penalty surcharge of about 300 million won by the district office on the ground that the client was a long-term non-registrant.

Under the Act on the Registration of Real Estate under Actual Titleholder's Name, if a person does not apply for ownership transfer registration within a certain period, a penalty surcharge is imposed within a range corresponding to 30/100 of the value of the real estate.

Act on the Registration of Real Estate under Actual Titleholder's Name, Article 10 (Penalties Against Long-Term Non-Registrants, etc.)

The Seongnam administrative litigation attorney filed the lawsuit to revoke the penalty surcharge imposition and provided assistance as follows.

As a result of the Seongnam administrative litigation attorney's assistance in the client's case, the client received a judgment revoking the penalty surcharge imposition.

However, the district office appealed, claiming that there had been no unlawfulness in the disposition, so the Seongnam administrative litigation attorney took up the defense against the appeal, and the court issued a judgment dismissing the district office's appeal.

The client had no intent to evade taxes at all but was unfairly at risk of having to pay a large penalty surcharge of 300 million won.

Because the Seongnam administrative litigation attorney took up the assistance on the basis of experience resolving similar cases, the client was able to obtain a judgment revoking the entire imposed penalty surcharge.
