If a person who is required to file a return filed after the deadline pursuant to paragraph (1) does not file that return filed after the deadline, the competent district director for the locality in which the taxpayer pays taxes makes a determination of the amount of income, the amount of income tax, and the other information that should have been indicated in that return filed after the deadline.
The provisions of the Act on General Rules for National Taxes apply to a return filed after the deadline under paragraph (1) and to a determination under the preceding paragraph as follows:

当該期限後申告書で第一項に規定する提出期限内に提出されたものについては、これを国税通則法第十七条第二項（期限内申告）に規定する期限内申告書とみなす。
for a return filed after the deadline that is filed after the deadline for filing prescribed in paragraph (1) and for the determination, the terms "statutory tax return due date" and "statutory payment due date" in the provisions of Chapters II through VII (Determination of National Tax Liability and Related Matters) of the Act on General Rules for National Taxes are deemed to be replaced with "the deadline for filing a return filed after the deadline prescribed in Article 151-5, paragraph (1) (Special Provisions on Returns Filed after the Deadline and Similar Matters upon Division of the Estate or Similar Event) of the Income Tax Act".
当該期限後申告書で第一項に規定する提出期限後に提出されたもの及び当該決定については、国税通則法第二章から第七章まで（国税の納付義務の確定等）の規定中「法定申告期限」とあり、及び「法定納期限」とあるのは、「所得税法第百五十一条の五第一項（遺産分割等があつた場合の期限後申告等の特例）に規定する期限後申告書の提出期限」とする。
The right to claim from the national government a refund arising from the filing of a return under the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (3) is extinguished by prescription if it is not exercised for five years from the date on which the division of the estate or similar event occurred.

It is the office a person usually deals with: an income tax return is filed with a district director (Income Tax Act, Article 120, paragraph (1)), and reassessments, determinations and the collection of national tax are done by the district director for the taxpayer's current place for tax payment (Act on General Rules for National Taxes, Articles 30 and 43).
