A court in Moscow found that McDonald’s is not a restaurant but rather a food store, at least for the purposes of the VAT taxation. Restaurant services are taxable at 18%, while the sale of food stuffs is taxable at 10% VAT. Accordingly, the tax authorities insisted that the company provides restaurant services, while the company insisted it only sells food. The tax authorities demanded some $20 mln of underpaid taxes for the years 2006-2007 but courts in three instances held in McDonald’s favor.
