Article 733-27Procedures for Collection of Non-Statutory Earmarked Taxes by Stamps
第七百三十三条の二十七（法定外目的税の証紙徴収の手続）
Where a local government intends to collect a non-statutory earmarked tax by collection by stamps, it must have the taxpayer pay the tax with stamps issued by that local government. In this case, the local government may, in lieu of stamps, have stamps affixed to documents or other articles certifying that an obligation to pay that non-statutory earmarked tax has arisen, or affix a tax-paid seal after receiving payment in cash equivalent to the face value of the stamps.
Where a taxpayer has affixed stamps, the local government or special collection agent must clearly cancel them with the seal of that local government or the seal or signature of the special collection agent, across the paper or other article on which the stamps are affixed and the design of the stamps.
The handling of the stamps under paragraph (1) must be provided for by the Prefectural or Municipal Ordinance of the local government in question.

条例
A rule a local government makes for itself: a prefecture (都道府県), a city, town or village (市町村), or one of Tokyo's special wards (特別区) (Local Autonomy Act, Articles 1-3, 281 and 283). Its assembly (議会), whose members the residents elect, passes it (Articles 89 and 96, paragraph (1), item (i)), and its head — the governor or the mayor (Article 139) — promulgates it, that is, makes it public so that it can take effect (Article 16). The Constitution lets local governments make them within the limits of Acts (Constitution, Article 94), and one may not go against the national laws and regulations (法令), such as Acts, Cabinet Orders (政令) and Ministerial Orders (省令) (Local Autonomy Act, Article 14, paragraph (1)). Unless national laws and regulations provide otherwise, a local government can impose a duty or restrict a right only by one of these (Article 14, paragraph (2)), and it may write into one penalties for breaking it, within limits the Local Autonomy Act sets (Article 14, paragraph (3)). It is made for that local government's own affairs (Article 2, paragraph (2) and Article 14, paragraph (1)), so the same matter can be handled differently from one place to the next. It is a local rule, not a national one: an "ordinance" in the name of a national rule, such as an Ordinance for Enforcement of an Act, is usually a Ministerial Order (省令) or another national instrument.
