Article 113Reaching of Dispositions on Applications for Approval for a Reduction of Tax Prepayments
第百十三条（予定納税額の減額の承認の申請に対する処分）
When a paper-based application referred to in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article is submitted, the district tax office director undertakes an examination and either verifies the estimated tax due on filing provided for in that paragraph which is indicated in the application (hereinafter referred to as the "estimated tax due on filing" in this Article) or establishes the estimated tax due on filing; following which the director either gives the approval referred to in Article 111, paragraph (1) or paragraph (2) (Applying for Approval for a Reduction of Tax Prepayments) or denies the application.
If a paper-based application referred to in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article is submitted and falls under one of the following items, the district tax office director must give the approval referred to in the preceding paragraph:
it is found that, because of damage arising from a full or partial business discontinuation, suspension, or conversion; from unemployment, Disaster, robbery, or misappropriation; or from the payment of medical expenses prescribed in Article 73, paragraph (2) (Significance of Medical Expenses) by the base date indicated in the application for calculating the estimated tax due on filing, the estimated tax due on filing based on the Resident's circumstances as of that base date will not reach the tax prepayment calculation base or estimated tax due on filing which has been used as the basis for calculating the Tax Prepayments that would be reduced pursuant to the approval;
in a case other than as set forth in the preceding item, if it is found that the estimated tax due on filing based on the Resident's circumstances as of the base date indicated in the application for calculating the estimated tax due on filing will constitute an amount equivalent to or less than 70% of the tax prepayment calculation base or the estimated tax due on filing that has been used as the basis for calculating the Tax Prepayments that would be reduced pursuant to the approval.
Having reached a disposition as referred to in paragraph (1), the district tax office director must either notify the Resident that submitted the paper-based application referred to in that paragraph of the estimated tax due on filing that the director has verified and of the Tax Prepayments calculated based on that estimated tax due on filing; notify the Resident of the estimated tax due on filing that the director has established and of the Tax Prepayments calculated based on that estimated tax due on filing and inform the Resident of the reason therefor; or notify the Resident that the application is denied and inform the Resident of the reason therefor.
If the approval referred to in paragraph (1) is given based on the filing of an application under Article 111, paragraph (1) or paragraph (2), item (ii) but the estimated tax due on filing of which the Resident is notified pursuant to the preceding paragraph comes to exceed the tax prepayment calculation base calculated pursuant to the provisions of the proviso to Article 105 (Special Provisions on Calculating Tax Prepayment Calculation Base) or the proviso to Article 108 (Special Provisions on Calculating Tax Prepayment Calculation Base for Special Farming Income Earners), that approval is deemed not to have been given.
