      **第一項**  内国法人がリース取引を行つた場合には、そのリース取引の目的となる資産（以下この項において「リース資産」という。）の賃貸人から賃借人への引渡しの時に当該リース資産の売買があつたものとして、当該賃貸人又は賃借人である内国法人の各事業年度の所得の金額を計算する。
      <sup>art-64-2/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/corporation-tax-act/art-64-2/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/340AC0000000034/art-64-2/par-1</sup>
      In the case where a domestic corporation has conducted lease transactions, the amount of income for each business year of the domestic corporation that is the lessor or lessee of the assets, which are the object of the lease transactions (hereinafter referred to as "lease assets" in this paragraph), is calculated, by deeming that the lease assets were traded at the time of their delivery from the lessor to the lessee.
