The provisions of Article 349-5 of the New Act also apply to fixed assets tax for fiscal year 1957 and after on depreciable assets used for a factory or power station constructed before the enforcement of this Act, for which the number of fiscal years from the fiscal year that includes April 1 of the year following the year that includes the date on which that factory or power station was constructed (or, where that date is January 1, the year that includes that date) through fiscal year 1957 does not exceed five.
