  **第一項**  納税者が質権又は抵当権の設定されている財産を譲り受けたときは、国税は、その換価代金につき、その質権又は抵当権により担保される債権に次いで徴収する。
  <sup>art-17/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/national-tax-collection-act/art-17/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/334AC0000000147/art-17/par-1</sup>
  Where a taxpayer has acquired property on which a pledge or mortgage has been established, national tax is collected from the proceeds of realization next after the claim secured by the pledge or mortgage.

  **第二項**  前項の規定は、登記をすることができる質権以外の質権については、その質権者が、強制換価手続において、その執行機関に対し、同項の譲受前にその質権が設定されている事実を証明した場合に限り適用する。この場合においては、第十五条第二項後段及び第三項（優先質権の証明）の規定を準用する。
  <sup>art-17/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/national-tax-collection-act/art-17/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/334AC0000000147/art-17/par-2</sup>
  The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply to a pledge other than a pledge that can be registered only where the pledgee proves, to the enforcement agency in a compulsory liquidation procedure, the fact that the pledge was established before the acquisition under that paragraph. In this case, the provisions of Article 15, paragraph (2), second sentence and paragraph (3) (Proof of Pledges Having Priority) apply mutatis mutandis.
