Apple announces App Store price changes in four countries
Apple’s Developer blog today announced tax and price updates for apps, In-App Purchases, and subscriptions in several regions. Here are the details.
Apple's Developer blog has announced significant tax and price updates for apps, In-App Purchases, and subscriptions in four countries. The first round of changes, effective immediately, introduces new taxes in Morocco, the Republic of the Congo, and Tanzania. Morocco will now apply a 20% VAT, the Republic of the Congo will have an 18% VAT, and Tanzania's digital sales tax rate will increase from 2% to 3%.
Subsequently, starting September 14, Apple will adjust App Store prices in four additional countries: Israel, Indonesia, Morocco, and the Republic of the Congo. These updates are designed to maintain equalization with the chosen base price, except on the selected storefront where prices remain unaffected. Notably, Apple has ensured that existing auto-renewable subscriptions will not experience price changes in any region.
The company's adjustments are a routine process to account for tax regulations and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The new prices are already accessible in the Pricing and Availability section of App Store Connect.
