To do catering business, catering business license, business license and tax registration certificate are the most basic documents. Personally, I suggest that you apply for a self-employed business license with simple procedures and low cost, only 23 yuan, and the annual license examination procedures are also convenient. 1. First, go to the industrial and commercial department to get the Notice of Name Pre-approval (to determine the name of your store). 2. Take the original and photocopy of the Notice of Name Pre-approval and other materials (the property certificate of the store and the copy of the lease contract, ID card and copy, etc.), and go to the local county-level food and drug administration to apply for the Catering Business License (now the food and drug administration department issues the documents of restaurants, The health department is only responsible for public health. The operator on the business license needs to obtain a health certificate himself. It seems that at least two people need to obtain a health certificate. The cost of obtaining a health certificate here is 111 yuan/person, and the cost of handling this certificate is about several hundred yuan. Doing this permit may require on-the-spot inspection (I definitely need on-the-spot inspection here). I suggest asking the above-mentioned departments to give guidance on how to decorate the kitchen and ask what the requirements are, or you will have to do it again if it does not meet the requirements after you decorate it yourself. That's too bad ... In addition, it takes a long time to handle the catering business license, so you should do it as soon as possible. The cost of handling the catering business license varies from place to place. 3. General information: photo of my certificate, ID card and photocopy, photocopy of the property certificate of the storefront (land certificate or real estate license, etc.), lease contract and photocopy of the storefront, and original and photocopy of the Catering Business License. If the materials are complete and meet the requirements of your local industrial and commercial bureau, you can usually get them in about a week. If you are not local, you may need to provide family planning documents and other materials. If you don't know where to go to the industrial and commercial bureau or the industrial and commercial office, or the administrative service center to get a business license, you can ask the owner of the shop next to you. 4. To apply for the Tax Registration Certificate from the local tax and national tax authorities within 31 days after obtaining the business license, you need the business license, real estate certification documents, lease contracts, ID cards and photocopies, etc. Self-employed individuals with a certificate of RMB 15 generally pay a fixed tax, and both national tax and local tax are fixed taxes. There are many standards for the fixed tax of self-employed, not only the business items, but also the area of the store. It is the result of a comprehensive calculation. The specific tax amount depends on the local economic development level, the road section where your store is located, as well as the business scale, business projects and store rent. The situation varies from place to place, so it is difficult to say exactly how much it is. If the tax department determines that your monthly business volume is less than 5,111 yuan, then you don't have to pay national tax, but only local tax. If it is determined that your monthly business volume is more than 5,111 yuan, then you have to pay both national tax and local tax. Personally, it is very useful to have a good relationship with the special administrators of the tax bureau who have given you a quota and entertain them well.
