The hotel suffered a loss.

Value-added tax is a tax on hotel income. For ordinary taxpayers, the tax rate is 6%, and for small-scale taxpayers, the collection rate is 3%. In addition to the tax exemption stipulated in the tax law, as long as there is income, it will be taxed, regardless of whether there is a loss. It is reasonable for the tax bureau to ask for supplementary value-added tax.

The loss is actually caused by high cost. If the hotel loses money, it can not pay corporate income tax.
