9月30日，蘋果向開發(fā)者們發(fā)送了一封郵件，郵件中提到，從9月30日起，App Store將向中國的開發(fā)者收取交易稅，并且將在扣除交易稅后再跟開發(fā)者三七分成。此外，日本地區(qū)也將從10月1日起開始實行新的稅收政策。

郵件原文：

If you are offering Apps or In-App purchases in China， effective September 30， 2015， we will be subject to transactional taxes in China， Consistent with other markets， we reduce the proceeds received from customers by the amount of any taxes， and then apply our commission。 We will update the pricing matrix in tights and pricing in my apps on itunes connect， and you can also download the new developer proceeds here。

Effective October 1， 2015， new tax laws go into effect in Japan with respect to foreign business that provide electronic commerce to Japanese residents。 You may now be required to administer Japanese Consumption Tax(current rate of 8%) in posed under these new tax laws。 Further details on the tax law changes can be found at Ministry of Finance Japan Website。

We have updated the Paid Applications agreement， which is available in Agreements， Tax， and Banking。 As noted in your agreement， with respect to sales of the Apps and In-App Purchases to Japanese and Chinese end users， you are responsible for the collection and remittance of taxes required by local laws。 If you have any questions or need additional information， reach out to your tax or legal advisor。

在此前，蘋果中國區(qū)App Store的稅收政策比較特殊，只有當(dāng)開發(fā)者的營收超過某一數(shù)量級，才會涉及到稅收的問題。但從今天開始，情況變得不一樣了。這么一算，開發(fā)者的收入自然會少一些，但幅度并不大，只有2%。舉個例子：原本6元的內(nèi)購，會先扣除2%的稅，剩下的錢再三七分，最終到開發(fā)者手里的錢只有4.12元，而之前開發(fā)者的收入為4.2元。

蘋果在發(fā)給開發(fā)者們的郵件中稱：“這和我們在其他國家和地區(qū)的策略是一致的，我們會減少從消費者那里取得的利潤，然后再跟開發(fā)者分成”。同時蘋果還指出，從10月1日起，日本地區(qū)的App Store也將要實行新的稅收策略，蘋果將優(yōu)先扣除8%的日本地區(qū)的電子商務(wù)稅，再與App的開發(fā)者進行分成。
