- From June 24, 2016 to June 30, 2020, the sale of fast food was subject to a 5% VAT rate
- The issue arose from a general interpretation by the Minister of Finance in June 2016
- The Minister stated that a higher VAT rate should be applied to ready-to-eat meals for direct consumption
- Some businesses continued to pay the 5% VAT rate based on previous favorable tax rulings
- Others chose to pay the higher tax rate and challenge it in court.
