<sup>caption: machine translation, not official</sup>
<sup>art-101 · https://japanlaw.org/en/income-tax-act-enforcement-order/art-101</sup>

        **第一項**  居住者は、棚卸資産につき選定した評価の方法（その評価の方法を届け出なかつた者がよるべきこととされている次条第一項に規定する評価の方法を含む。）を変更しようとするときは、納税地の所轄税務署長の承認を受けなければならない。
        <sup>art-101/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/income-tax-act-enforcement-order/art-101/par-1</sup>
        A Resident who intends to change the method of valuation selected for Inventory (including the method of valuation prescribed in paragraph (1) of the following Article that a person who has not notified a method of valuation is required to use) must obtain the approval of the competent district director with jurisdiction over the place for tax payment.
        <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

        **第二項**  前項の承認を受けようとする居住者は、その新たな評価の方法を採用しようとする年の三月十五日までに、その旨、変更しようとする理由その他財務省令で定める事項を記載した申請書を納税地の所轄税務署長に提出しなければならない。
        <sup>art-101/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/en/income-tax-act-enforcement-order/art-101/par-2</sup>
        A Resident who intends to obtain the approval referred to in the preceding paragraph must submit to the competent district director with jurisdiction over the place for tax payment, by March 15 of the year in which the Resident intends to adopt the new method of valuation, a written application stating that fact, the reason for the intended change, and other matters specified by Ministry of Finance Order.
        <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

        **第三項**  税務署長は、前項の申請書の提出があつた場合において、その申請書を提出した居住者が現によつている評価の方法を採用してから相当期間を経過していないとき、又は変更しようとする評価の方法によつてはその者の各年分の事業所得の金額の計算が適正に行われ難いと認めるときは、その申請を却下することができる。

        Where the written application referred to in the preceding paragraph is submitted, the district director may reject the application if a considerable period has not elapsed since the Resident who submitted the written application adopted the method of valuation currently in use, or if the district director finds that calculation of the amount of business income of that Resident for each year would be difficult to carry out properly by the method of valuation to which the Resident intends to change.
        <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

        **第四項**  税務署長は、第二項の申請書の提出があつた場合において、その申請につき承認又は却下の処分をするときは、その申請をした居住者に対し、書面によりその旨を通知する。

        Where the written application referred to in paragraph (2) has been submitted, if no disposition of approval or rejection has been made on the application by December 31 of that year, the approval is deemed to have been granted on that day.
