[quote=JohnAlt91941][quote=FlyerInHi]Restaurant good is taxed. Hot deli food is taxed.
At Subway the cold sandwiches are not taxed, but the hot ones are taxed.[/quote]
Does that mean when they toast your sandwich it suddenly becomes taxable?[/quote]
It can, depends on the place. First there’s the 80/80 rule which differentiates a deli grocery store from a subway. All subway sales should be taxable because more than 80% of their business comes from products that are designed for immediate consumption. For the grocery store deli the sale of a cold sandwich is not taxable because most of their business is coming from selling other products not intended for immediate consumption.
According to this document on page 4 it would seem that if the deli heats up you sandwich for you when you take it to go from the grocery store it becomes taxable. Probably depends on the store if they get that technical.
