Legal analysis: A food circulation permit is a certificate that allows you to sell and trade prepackaged foods, beverages, cereals, oils and other products, so you need such a certificate if you want to engage in food trade and sales of foods, beverages, cereals, oils and cakes. But it has nothing to do with your tax payment. However, if you register a company and get a business license, you need to file normal tax returns, which does not mean that you need to pay taxes, but only if you are profitable.
