    With respect to real property for which the price of the fixed asset is registered in the fixed assets tax ledger, the prefectural governor is to determine, based on that price, the price that is to be the tax base of real property acquisition tax relating to that real property; provided, however, that this does not apply where, owing to special circumstances such as an addition, reconstruction, destruction, or change of land category with respect to that real property, it is difficult to rely on the price of that fixed asset.

    **第二項**  道府県知事は、固定資産課税台帳に固定資産の価格が登録されていない不動産又は前項但書の規定に該当する不動産については、第三百八十八条第一項の固定資産評価基準によつて、当該不動産に係る不動産取得税の課税標準となるべき価格を決定するものとする。

    With respect to real property for which the price of the fixed asset is not registered in the fixed assets tax ledger or real property falling under the proviso to the preceding paragraph, the prefectural governor is to determine, in accordance with the fixed asset valuation standards under Article 388, paragraph (1), the price that is to be the tax base of real property acquisition tax relating to that real property.

    If, as a result of determining the price that is to be the tax base of real property acquisition tax, the prefectural governor finds an imbalance between municipalities in the prices of real property registered in the fixed assets tax ledger, the governor is to give advice, stating reasons, to the heads of the relevant municipalities on the determination of the price that is to be the tax base of fixed assets tax.
