Steve Troughton-SmithIt sounds like Apple is extending the Core Technology Fee to *all apps in the EU*
Marcin Krzyzanowski@stroughtonsmith it is CTC now, and it's 5% https://mastodon.social/@krzyzanowskim/114751322897032012
Mieszko Ślusarczyk@krzyzanowskim @stroughtonsmith is that 5% going to replace the 30/15% tax?
@spitfire @stroughtonsmith no. and from the document it doesn't say it is for *all apps in the EU*, just for those that "communicates and promotes offers for digital goods or services for end users at a destination of your choice, including steering to non-App Store In-App Purchase transactions"
@krzyzanowskim @stroughtonsmith oh, so for these apps using external purchase/payment systems? Still better than 30/15 I guess, and you get to own your customer relationship if you choose to do so.
@spitfire @stroughtonsmith idk. it looks like 21% with other fees. But that did not change. the only change is CTF $0.50 to CTC 5%
@spitfire @stroughtonsmith my napkin calculations says CTC is actually more expensive for paid apps than CTF.
I wonder how that comply with the law ;)
@krzyzanowskim @stroughtonsmith that wouldn’t be suprising. And it definitely won’t be compliant. They’ll never learn I guess
@krzyzanowskim @stroughtonsmith looks like 20/15 vs 30/15. And then you have to account for payment processors and running your own stuff I guess.
