In-app purchases for Apple users will be costlier in these countries from Oct

Technology giant Apple has said the prices of apps and in-app purchases on the App Store will be hiked in several countries including Japan, Malaysia and the ones using Euro from October.

The new prices which exclude auto-renewable subscriptions will be effective from October 5, Apple said in a blog post. According to report, the changes in prices will also reflect new regulations for Apple in Vietnam to collect and remit applicable taxes, the value added tax (VAT) and the corporate income tax at five per cent rates respectively.

“Your proceeds will be adjusted accordingly and will be calculated based on the tax-exclusive price. Exhibit B of the Paid Applications Agreement will be updated to indicate that Apple collects and remits applicable taxes in Vietnam”, the blog post added further.
