<sup>art-9 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/stamp-tax-act/art-9 · https://japanlaw.org/l/342AC0000000023/art-9</sup>

**第一項**  課税文書の作成者は、政令で定める手続により、財務省令で定める税務署の税務署長に対し、当該課税文書に相当印紙をはり付けることに代えて、税印（財務省令で定める印影の形式を有する印をいう。次項において同じ。）を押すことを請求することができる。
<sup>art-9/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/stamp-tax-act/art-9/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/342AC0000000023/art-9/par-1</sup>
The preparer of a taxable document may, by the procedure specified by Cabinet Order, request the district director of a tax office specified by Ministry of Finance Order to affix a tax seal (meaning a seal having an impression of the form specified by Ministry of Finance Order; the same applies in the following paragraph) instead of affixing corresponding revenue stamps to the taxable document.

**第二項**  前項の請求をした者は、次項の規定によりその請求が棄却された場合を除き、当該請求に係る課税文書に課されるべき印紙税額に相当する印紙税を、税印が押される時までに、国に納付しなければならない。
<sup>art-9/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/stamp-tax-act/art-9/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/342AC0000000023/art-9/par-2</sup>
A person who has made the request under the preceding paragraph must, except where the request is dismissed under the following paragraph, pay to the national government the stamp tax equivalent to the amount of stamp tax to be imposed on the taxable document subject to the request, by the time the tax seal is affixed.
<sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

**第三項**  税務署長は、第一項の請求があつた場合において、当該請求に係る課税文書の記載金額が明らかでないことその他印紙税の保全上不適当であると認めるときは、当該請求を棄却することができる。
<sup>art-9/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/stamp-tax-act/art-9/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/342AC0000000023/art-9/par-3</sup>
