Supreme Court Rules VAT Can Be Levied on Affiliate Point Payments From 2018 Onward However, the Supreme Court made it clear that the government's imposition of VAT solely through a 2017 enforcement decree amendment was "invalid as it expanded taxation requirements through administrative legislation in violation of the principle of no taxation without law." During a full bench hearing presided over by Chief Justice Shin Sook-hee today , the Supreme Court partially overturned the lower court's ruling in favor of the plaintiff and sent the case back to the Seoul High Court in a lawsuit filed by GS Retail against tax authorities, asking them to cancel the VAT levied on point payments made through affiliated credit card companies from 2017 to 2019.
