Background

Change tax rules so small businesses are taxed only on actual income received from food delivery platforms, not gross sales amounts before platform fee deductions.

Additional details

We think this outdated tax rule forces small food businesses to pay tax on money they never receive. Some platforms deduct large percentages, yet tax is still charged on full sales. We think this shifts the tax burden to local traders. We think it’s unfair and unsustainable.
