    **第一項**  個人の市町村民税の納税者は、納税通知書に記載された納付額のうち到来した納期に係る納付額に相当する金額の税金を納付しようとする場合においては、当該納期後の納期に係る納付額に相当する金額の税金をあわせて納付することができる。
    <sup>art-321/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/local-tax-act/art-321/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/325AC0000000226/art-321/par-1</sup>
    A taxpayer of individual municipal inhabitant tax who intends to pay tax in an amount equivalent to the amount payable for a payment period that has arrived, out of the amounts payable stated in the tax notice, may also pay together tax in amounts equivalent to the amounts payable for payment periods after that payment period.
    <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

    **第二項**  前項の規定によつて個人の市町村民税の納税者が当該納期の後の納期に係る納付額に相当する金額の税金を納付した場合においては、市町村は、当該市町村の条例で定める金額の報奨金をその納税者に交付することができる。但し、当該納税者の未納に係る地方団体の徴収金がある場合においては、この限りでない。
    <sup>art-321/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/en/local-tax-act/art-321/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/325AC0000000226/art-321/par-2</sup>
    If a taxpayer of individual municipal inhabitant tax has paid, under the preceding paragraph, tax in an amount equivalent to the amount payable for a payment period after that payment period, the municipality may grant to the taxpayer a monetary incentive in the amount specified by Municipal Ordinance of the municipality. However, this does not apply if there are local government levies unpaid by the taxpayer.
    <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

    **第三項**  前項の報奨金の額は、第一項の規定によつて納期前に納付した税額の百分の一に、納期前に係る月数（一月未満の端数がある場合においては、十四日以下は切り捨て、十五日以上は一月とする。）を乗じて得た額をこえることができない。
    <sup>art-321/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/en/local-tax-act/art-321/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/325AC0000000226/art-321/par-3</sup>
    The amount of the monetary incentive under the preceding paragraph may not exceed the amount obtained by multiplying one percent of the amount of tax paid before the payment period under paragraph (1) by the number of months before the payment period (where there is a fraction of less than one month, a fraction of 14 days or less is to be discarded and a fraction of 15 days or more is to be counted as one month).
