The judgment of the court below is reversed.
A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for six months.
However, the above punishment for a period of two years from the date this judgment became final and conclusive.
The grounds of appeal are misunderstanding the legal principles as to the act under paragraph (3) of the facts charged of this case (the act of preparing a report on discontinuance of business in the name of B and submitting such report to the staff of the tax office), and thus, the illegality is excluded, and it does not constitute the crime of forging private documents and copying private documents.

B became aware of the circumstances in which taxes imposed in its own name are delinquent at the end of 2014.
In order to discontinue the above business, the defendant is to discontinue the business.
