If any person fails to pay a surcharge by the time limit for payment, the Japan Fair Trade Commission must demand the payment by serving a written demand designating a time limit for the payment.
公正取引委員会は、課徴金をその納期限までに納付しない者があるときは、督促状により期限を指定してその納付を督促しなければならない。
The Japan Fair Trade Commission may collect delinquency charges calculated at a rate specified by Cabinet Order, not exceeding fourteen point five percent per annum of the amount of the surcharge, for the number of days intervening between the next day of the time limit for payment and the day of payment when it demanded payment pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph provided, however, that this does not apply if the delinquency charges involved are less than one thousand yen.
公正取引委員会は、前項の規定による督促をしたときは、その督促に係る課徴金の額につき年十四・五パーセントを超えない範囲内において政令で定める割合で、納期限の翌日からその納付の日までの日数により計算した延滞金を徴収することができる。ただし、延滞金の額が千円未満であるときは、この限りでない。
If the amount of delinquency charges, calculated pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, includes numbers to the right of the hundreds place, the delinquency charges are rounded down to the nearest hundred yen.
前項の規定により計算した延滞金の額に百円未満の端数があるときは、その端数は、切り捨てる。
If a person upon whom a demand has been served under the provisions of paragraph (1) fails to make the payment by the designated time limit, the Japan Fair Trade Commission may collect the surcharge related to the demand and delinquency charges under the provisions of paragraph (2) pursuant to a disposition of the national tax delinquency.
A statutory lien for a payment to be collected pursuant to the preceding paragraph follows national and local taxes in priority, and the period of prescription for payment follows the rules for national tax.
前項の規定による徴収金の先取特権の順位は、国税及び地方税に次ぐものとし、その時効については、国税の例による。

Fair Trade Commission
公正取引委員会
The body the Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and Maintenance of Fair Trade (独占禁止法, the Antimonopoly Act) sets up to achieve that Act's purpose — among other things, to promote fair and free competition by banning private monopolization, unreasonable restraint of trade and unfair trade practices, and so to protect the interests of general consumers and the democratic and sound development of the national economy (Antimonopoly Act, Articles 1 and 27, paragraph (1)). It comes under the Prime Minister's jurisdiction, but its chairperson and four commissioners — appointed by the Prime Minister with the consent of both Houses of the Diet — exercise their authority independently (Articles 27, paragraph (2), 28 and 29). Under the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, businesses and trade associations may, with the approval of both the Prime Minister and the Fair Trade Commission, conclude or set agreements or rules (協定又は規約) on premiums or representations (Article 36, paragraph (1)).
