Core Viewpoint - The controversy surrounding the restaurant chain Xibei's use of ingredients considered "pre-made dishes" has raised questions about potential tax discrepancies, particularly in light of recent comments from entrepreneur Luo Yonghao [3][6]. Tax Rate Application - Xibei issues value-added tax (VAT) invoices at a 6% rate for dining services, regardless of whether pre-made ingredients are used, as long as the food is consumed on-site [3][5]. - The current tax regulations state that food sold for takeout is also subject to the same 6% VAT rate, unless the food is purchased without any processing [5][7]. Expert Opinions - Experts suggest that the likelihood of Xibei using pre-made dishes to evade taxes is low, as the law mandates that both dine-in and takeout food produced by the restaurant are taxed at the same rate [6][7]. - Any potential tax evasion would require Xibei to sell pre-made dishes directly to consumers without proper processing, which has not been observed in their operations [7].
