<sup>caption: machine translation, not official</sup>
<sup>art-313 · https://japanlaw.org/en/income-tax-act-enforcement-order/art-313</sup>

    **第一項**  前条の規定を適用する場合において、同条に規定する給与等の支払者が次の各号のいずれかに該当することとなつたときは、当該給与等に係る所得税の法第十七条（源泉徴収に係る所得税の納税地）の規定による納税地（法第十八条第二項（納税地の指定）の規定による指定があつた場合には、その指定をされた納税地）の所轄税務署長は、法第百九十一条（過納額の還付）の規定により還付すべき金額のうちまだ還付されていない金額を同条に規定する居住者に還付する。
    <sup>art-313/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/income-tax-act-enforcement-order/art-313/par-1</sup>
    In the case of applying the provisions of the preceding Article, when the person paying the salary or other wage prescribed in that Article comes to fall under any of the following items, the competent district director with jurisdiction over the place for tax payment under the provisions of Article 17 (Locality for Paying Over Withholding Tax) of the Act for the income tax on that salary or other wage (where a designation has been made pursuant to the provisions of Article 18, paragraph (2) (Designation of Locality for Paying Over Taxes) of the Act, the place for tax payment so designated) is to refund to the Resident prescribed in Article 191 (Refund of Overpaid Amounts) of the Act the portion of the amount to be refunded pursuant to the provisions of that Article that has not yet been refunded:
    <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

      **一**  法第百八十三条（給与所得に係る源泉徴収義務）若しくは第百九十条（年末調整）に規定する給与等の支払者若しくは法第百九十九条（退職所得に係る源泉徴収義務）に規定する退職手当等の支払者でなくなつたこと又はこれらの規定若しくは法第百九十二条（不足額の徴収）若しくは第二百四条第一項第二号（報酬、料金等に係る源泉徴収義務）の規定により徴収して納付すべき所得税の額がなくなつたことにより法第百九十一条の規定による還付をすべき金額の全部又は一部を還付することができないこととなつた場合
      <sup>art-313/par-1/item-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/income-tax-act-enforcement-order/art-313/par-1/item-1</sup>
      where, because the person has ceased to be a person paying the salary or other wage prescribed in Article 183 (Obligation to Withhold Taxes on Salary Income) or Article 190 (Year-End Adjustment) of the Act or a person paying severance pay or other such compensation prescribed in Article 199 (Obligation to Withhold Taxes on Retirement Income) of the Act, or because there is no longer any amount of income tax to be collected and paid pursuant to the provisions of these Articles or Article 192 (Withholding of Shortfalls) or Article 204, paragraph (1), item (ii) (Obligation to Withhold Taxes on Remuneration, Fees, etc.) of the Act, it has become impossible to refund all or part of the amount to be refunded pursuant to the provisions of Article 191 of the Act;
      <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

      **二**  法第百九十一条の規定による還付をすべきこととなつた日の属する月の翌月一日から起算して二月を経過した後において、なお当該還付をすべき金額の全部を還付するに至らない場合
      <sup>art-313/par-1/item-2 · https://japanlaw.org/en/income-tax-act-enforcement-order/art-313/par-1/item-2</sup>
      where, even after two months have elapsed from the first day of the month following the month that includes the day on which the refund under the provisions of Article 191 of the Act became due, the whole of the amount to be refunded has still not been refunded.
      <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

    **第二項**  前項の規定の適用を受けようとする支払者は、同項各号のいずれかに該当することとなつた旨を記載した書面に、各人別の法第百九十一条の規定による還付をすべき金額及び当該金額のうちまだ還付をされていない部分の金額その他必要な事項を記載した明細書を添附して、これを同項の税務署長に提出しなければならない。
    <sup>art-313/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/en/income-tax-act-enforcement-order/art-313/par-2</sup>
    A payer seeking the application of the provisions of the preceding paragraph must submit to the district director referred to in that paragraph a document stating that the payer has come to fall under any of the items of that paragraph, attaching a detailed statement stating, for each person, the amount to be refunded pursuant to the provisions of Article 191 of the Act, the amount of the portion of that amount that has not yet been refunded, and other necessary matters.
