  **第一項**  道府県は、道府県法定外普通税を証紙徴収によつて徴収しようとする場合においては、納税者に当該道府県が発行する証紙をもつてその税金を払い込ませなければならない。この場合においては、道府県は、当該道府県法定外普通税を納付する義務が発生することを証する書類その他の物件に証紙をはらせ、又は証紙の額面金額に相当する現金の納付を受けた後納税済印を押すことによつて、証紙に代えることができる。

  When a prefecture intends to collect a prefectural non-statutory ordinary tax by collection by stamps, it must have the taxpayer pay the tax by means of stamps issued by that prefecture. In this case, the prefecture may, in place of stamps, have stamps affixed to documents or other articles proving that an obligation to pay that prefectural non-statutory ordinary tax has arisen, or stamp a paid-tax seal after receiving payment in cash equal to the face value of the stamps.

  **第二項**  道府県又は特別徴収義務者は、納税者が証紙をはつた場合においては、証紙をはつた紙面その他の物件と証紙の彩紋とにかけて当該道府県の印又は特別徴収義務者の印若しくは署名で判明にこれを消さなければならない。
