(Requirements for Grace Periods of Realization)
Article 151Where a delinquent taxpayer is found to fall under one of the following items and it is found that they have a sincere intention to make tax payments, the district director of a tax office may grant a grace period for the realization of their assets through disposition of delinquency with regard to the national tax payable by the delinquent taxpayer (excluding national tax subject to application of the provisions of Article 46, paragraphs (1) through (3) (Tax Payment Grace Period) of the Act on General Rules for National Taxes); provided, however, that the grace period may not exceed one year:
(i)where the taxpayer is likely to face difficulty in continuing their business or maintaining their standard of living if their assets are realized immediately;
(ii)where the granting of a grace period for the realization of the taxpayer's assets is more beneficial to the collection of the delinquent national tax and national taxes to be paid in the near future than the immediate realization of their assets.
