< p > China Cuisine Association official pointed out that such adjustment is relatively large, but it is difficult to achieve. After all, it took us ten years to work hard to reduce the card rate in the catering industry from 2% to 1.25% in February this year.

Nevertheless, the Chinese cooking association admitted that this does not mean that the catering industry has little pressure on taxes and fees.

Among them, there are 12 kinds of taxes and 34 kinds of fees.

According to the statistics, catering enterprises need to bear the highest tax burden of about 40% of the turnover, and the burden is greater.

The person in charge of a catering enterprise calculated accounts to reporters. The main taxes and fees of catering enterprises included the business tax of 5%~9% turnover and the income tax of income 18%~33%. In addition, there were also educational fees of 3% of the city's maintenance and construction tax, the turnover of 1%~7%, and some surcharges and deducting and paying personal income tax.

Under such a tax, especially in the face of the plight of the industry, catering enterprises are struggling to survive.

The Catering Association has used the lowest point in ten years to describe this year's catering industry.

The report of China Cuisine Association showed that the first half of the year achieved 11795 billion yuan in the national catering industry, an increase of 8.7% over the same period last year, a decrease of 4.5 percentage points over the same period last year.

In the second quarter, the industry lost 20%, 60% of the profits fell sharply, and the number of individual businesses dropped by more than 300%.

The semi annual report of catering listed companies is also bleak. In the first half of the year, xiangeqing closed 8 direct outlets, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 220 million yuan, down 388% compared with the same period last year. Quanjude's operating income was 850 million yuan, down 6.52% from the same period last year, with a total profit of 85 million yuan, down 32.14% from the same period last year.

< p > < a > href= > //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_z.asp > > cook Association < /a >, the responsible person said that since the catering industry has been suffering from the pressure of "four high and one low" (high rent price, high labor cost, high energy price, high cost of raw materials and low profit), the Association will continue to call on the state to give policy support.

People close to the Ministry of Commerce pointed out that although the Ministry of Commerce has denied publicly issuing such a policy, it may still be studying the relevant policies, but at present it is not convenient to make it public.
