When the amount of Interest on a refund under paragraph (1) is calculated, the period referred to in Article 58, paragraph (1) (Interest on Refunds) of the Act on General Rules for National Taxes which serves as the basis for the calculation is the period beginning on the day after the day that is set forth in each of the following items for the category of case set forth in the item (or beginning on the day after that on which any tax withheld that is subject to a refund as prescribed in the preceding paragraph is paid over to the national government, if this is after the date set forth in the relevant item), and ending on the day on which the tax-office decision to pay the refund is reached or on the day on which the refund is Appropriated to cover a required tax payment (or ending on the day on which the refund first could have been Appropriated, if this is before the date of the Appropriation):
第一項の規定による還付金について還付加算金を計算する場合には、その計算の基礎となる国税通則法第五十八条第一項（還付加算金）の期間は、次の各号に掲げる場合の区分に応じ当該各号に掲げる日（同日後に納付された前項に規定する源泉徴収税額に係る還付金については、その納付の日）の翌日からその還付のための支払決定をする日又はその還付金につき充当をする日（同日前に充当をするのに適することとなつた日がある場合には、その適することとなつた日）までの期間とする。

if the Tax Return referred to in paragraph (1) is filed after the Filing Deadline:the day on which the Tax Return is filed.
If a refund under paragraph (1) is Appropriated to cover unpaid income taxes in the year of the Tax Return referred to in that paragraph, interest on refund does not accrue on the part of the refund so Appropriated and the tax on delinquency is waived for the part of the income taxes covered by the Appropriation.
