(Requirements for Grace Periods for Asset Conversion)
Article 151 (1) Where a delinquent taxpayer is found to fall under any of the following items and he/she is found to have a sincere intention to make tax payments, the district director of the tax office may grant a grace period for the conversion of his/her assets into cash through collection procedures due to tax delinquency with regard to the national tax payable by the delinquent taxpayer (excluding a national tax subject to the provisions of Article 46, paragraph (1) through paragraph (3) (Tax Payment Grace Period) of the Act on General Rules for National Taxes); provided, however, that such grace period shall not exceed one year:
