    **第一項**  法第六十一条第一項（昭和二十七年十二月三十一日以前に取得した資産の取得費等）に規定する山林の昭和二十八年一月一日における価額として政令で定めるところにより計算した金額は、同日における山林の樹種別及び樹齢別の標準的な評価額を基礎とし、これにその山林に係る地味、地域その他の事情の差異による調整を加えた価額とする。この場合において、当該標準的な評価額及びこれに加えるべき調整の方法は、同日において山林につき相続税及び贈与税の課税標準の計算に用いるべきものとして国税庁長官が定めて公表したところによる。

    The amount calculated, as prescribed by Cabinet Order, as the value on January 1, 1953 of the forested land prescribed in Article 61, paragraph (1) (Acquisition Costs of Assets Acquired Prior to December 31, 1952) of the Act is the value obtained by adding, to the standard assessed value of the forested land by species and age of trees on that day, an adjustment for differences in soil fertility, region, and other circumstances relating to that forested land. In this case, the standard assessed value and the method of the adjustment to be added to it are as determined and publicly announced by the Commissioner of the National Tax Agency as to be used on that day for the calculation of the tax base for inheritance tax and gift tax with regard to forested land.
