Article 41Secondary Tax Liability Pertaining to Associations or Foundations without Legal Personality

①In the case where an association or foundation without legal personality is delinquent in paying national tax, if it is found that the amount to be collected is still insufficient even after the delinquent tax collection procedure has been executed on the property belonging to it (excluding property that is regarded as legally belonging to a third party because that third party is the nominal holder), that third party is to bear secondary tax liability for the national tax pertaining to that delinquency, up to the limit of the property regarded as legally belonging to that third party.

②In the case where property of an association or foundation without legal personality that is a delinquent taxpayer has been refunded or distributed (except in the case where Article 34 (Secondary Tax Liability of Liquidators, etc.) applies), if it is found that the amount to be collected is still insufficient even after the delinquent tax collection procedure has been executed on that association or foundation (including the third party prescribed in the preceding paragraph), the person who received that refund or distribution is to bear secondary tax liability for the national tax pertaining to that delinquency, up to the limit of the value of the property received; provided, however, that this does not apply if the refund or distribution was made one year or more before the statutory due date for tax payment of the national tax pertaining to the delinquency.
