<sup>caption: machine translation, not official</sup>
<sup>art-41 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/national-tax-collection-act/art-41 · https://japanlaw.org/l/334AC0000000147/art-41</sup>

**第一項**  人格のない社団等が国税を滞納した場合において、これに属する財産（第三者が名義人となつているため、その者に法律上帰属するとみられる財産を除く。）につき滞納処分を執行してもなおその徴収すべき額に不足すると認められるときは、その第三者は、その法律上帰属するとみられる財産を限度として、その滞納に係る国税の第二次納税義務を負う。
<sup>art-41/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/national-tax-collection-act/art-41/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/334AC0000000147/art-41/par-1</sup>
In the case where an association or foundation without legal personality is delinquent in paying national tax, if it is found that the amount to be collected is still insufficient even after the delinquent tax collection procedure has been executed on the property belonging to it (excluding property that is regarded as legally belonging to a third party because that third party is the nominal holder), that third party is to bear secondary tax liability for the national tax pertaining to that delinquency, up to the limit of the property regarded as legally belonging to that third party.

**第二項**  滞納者である人格のない社団等の財産の払戻又は分配をした場合（第三十四条（清算人等の第二次納税義務）の規定の適用がある場合を除く。）において、当該社団等（前項に規定する第三者を含む。）につき滞納処分を執行してもなお徴収すべき額に不足すると認められるときは、当該払戻又は分配を受けた者は、その受けた財産の価額を限度として、その滞納に係る国税の第二次納税義務を負う。ただし、その払戻又は分配が滞納に係る国税の法定納期限より一年以上前にされている場合は、この限りでない。
<sup>art-41/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/national-tax-collection-act/art-41/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/334AC0000000147/art-41/par-2</sup>
In the case where property of an association or foundation without legal personality that is a delinquent taxpayer has been refunded or distributed (except in the case where Article 34 (Secondary Tax Liability of Liquidators, etc.) applies), if it is found that the amount to be collected is still insufficient even after the delinquent tax collection procedure has been executed on that association or foundation (including the third party prescribed in the preceding paragraph), the person who received that refund or distribution is to bear secondary tax liability for the national tax pertaining to that delinquency, up to the limit of the value of the property received; provided, however, that this does not apply if the refund or distribution was made one year or more before the statutory due date for tax payment of the national tax pertaining to the delinquency.
