Apple says that App Store prices will rise in Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Russia, and South Africa. The tech giant says the increases also reflect the following tax changes:
-
India: New equalization levy of 2% (in addition to the existing goods and services tax of 18%)
-
Indonesia: New value-added tax of 10% for developers based outside of Indonesia
Prices of apps and in-app purchases (excluding auto-renewable subscriptions) will also be adjusted in Iceland and Albania to align with pricing used in other markets selling in U.S. dollars with value-added tax.
