An image decoding method may include obtaining a first coded block flag, when the first coded block flag of the current coding unit indicates that the current coding unit comprises the one or more non-zero significant transform coefficients, identifying whether at least one of a height and a width of the current coding unit is greater than a predetermined size, based on whether the at least one of the height and the width of the current coding unit is greater than the predetermined size, obtaining at least one transform unit, when the at least one of the height and the width of the current coding unit is greater than the predetermined size, obtaining a second coded block flag, obtaining a residual signal of the block of the luma component based on the second coded block flag, and reconstructing the current coding unit based on the residual signal.
