First of all, you are a new store, and your business license has not been processed yet. Of course, you don't have to pay taxes.
The rent invoice tax of local tax is 18.4% as you said. This tax should be paid by the landlord because the landlord rented the house to you. When you pay the rent, the landlord will give you an invoice according to the national requirements. (However, most homeowners will not be willing to pay this tax. It is usually included in the rental contract. Maybe you haven't noticed. )
This tax is calculated according to your rent and lease period. The payment period varies from place to place. Generally, after your tax registration certificate comes out, you should hand it in once every quarter.
Reference opinion:
1, ask the industrial and commercial department if there is any mistake.
2. If the industry and commerce are right and the local tax is still collected like this, that's your problem there. (If you are bold, you can report directly. )
3. If you are willing to pay, you can go to the local taxation bureau with a copy of the landlord's ID card and real estate license. The tax point is not as high as you are now, and it may be 10.
I hope I can help you.
