금사업자, 스크랩등사업자에 대한 조세특례 제도의 일몰(日沒) 종료에 따른 시사점과 법적 문제

Abstract

The Act On Restriction On Special Cases Concerning Taxation has established the ‘Special Taxation for Payment of Value-Added Tax by Purchasers of Gold-Related Products, Scraps’ to fundamentally prevent tax evasion and disrupt the market's trading order, and also created a ‘Deduction of an input tax amount for scraps, etc.’ to expedite the settlement of the Special Taxation for Payment of Value-Added Tax by Purchasers. This entails deducting the tax amount for the increase in import amounts, etc. Although this Deduction of an input tax amount for scraps, etc. sunsetted on December 31, 2023, after termination by the sunset clause, it is considered necessary to improve the ‘Special Taxation for Payment of Value-Added Tax by Purchasers of Gold-Related Products, Scraps’ itself to ensure the continued promotion and maintenance of trade activation in the gold and scrap markets through value-added tax payer payments. It is necessary to induce smooth taxpayer cooperation by improving the system in the direction of reducing taxpayer cooperation costs. As specific improvement measures, suggestions include: ① reducing the difficulty of account management by assigning dedicated accounts by target business rather than item-specific accounts as current practice, ② limiting the compulsory use of dedicated transaction accounts to pay the value-added tax amount, without forcing the deposit of product values, and ③ proposing flexibility in the value-added tax payment date by not mandating the deposit of the value-added tax amount until the day after the date of supply.
