①A person seeking to file a claim to be issued a refund pursuant to the provisions of the preceding two Articles must submit a paper-based claim for a refund to the district tax office director, indicating the amount of income taxes that the person seeks to have refunded, the basis for the calculation, and any other information prescribed by Ministry of Finance Order.

②When a paper-based claim for a refund as referred to in the preceding paragraph is submitted, the district tax office director undertakes an examination into the Net Loss forming the basis for the claim and other necessary details, and, based on the results of that examination, either issues an income tax refund within the scope of the amount sought in the claim, or notifies the filer via a paper-based notice that there are no grounds to the claim.

③When the amount of Interest on a refund under the preceding paragraph 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 that marks three months' time since the day after the date on which the person files a claim to be issued a refund under the provisions of the preceding two Articles (or beginning on the day that marks three months' time since the day after the filing deadline, if the day on which the person files the claim to be issued a refund pursuant to the provisions of Article 140, paragraph (1) (Claim to Be Issued a Refund Based on Carryback of Net Loss) or paragraph (1) of the preceding Article is before the deadline for filing a return prescribed in these provisions) 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).
