What the petition asks
The normal rate VAT 20% on takeaway food. It is very high, Most shops are not able to pay the liability and they start cheating the system. Almost all individual owned takeaway shops are hiding their turnover.
In Switzerland the rate 7.7% and in Germany 7% for takeaway foods.
