Apple Announces App Store Price and Tax Changes for Several Countries
Posted January 16, 2020 at 7:16pm by iClarified
Apple has announced upcoming App Store price and tax changes in several countries.
When taxes or foreign exchange rates change, we sometimes need to update prices on the App Store. In the next few days, prices of apps on the App Store and in-app purchases (excluding auto-renewable subscriptions) will change in the following countries.
● Thailand: Prices will decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
● Pakistan: Prices will increase due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Additionally, on January 1, 2020, a 7% goods and services tax (GST) was introduced in Singapore. Developers based in Singapore who provide their GST number in App Store Connect will not have their proceeds affected. Otherwise, proceeds will be adjusted accordingly. Prices on the App Store won’t change based on the introduction of this tax.
Once these changes go into effect, the Pricing and Availability section of My Apps will be updated. You can change the price of your apps and in-app purchases (including auto-renewable subscriptions) at any time in App Store Connect. For subscriptions, you have the option to preserve prices for existing subscribers.
