Yes, the state you are in is what counts.

I suppose the formula I would use to be safe is ( What I want ) * 1.45 )

I can give the 15% to the Tax Man ( 15% in the UK )
I can give 30% for the payment service. ( assuming 30% is what they charge )
I should be left with what I wanted in the first instance.

Isn't the state you are in the only one that counts as you are the one 
making the sale?

Where's the link?

For USA developers selling apps within the USA, are you looking up the 
sales tax rate per state and for each region within each state the 
specific tax rate for digital downloads?  Unfortunately, doesn't go 
per zip code so such tax rates are different for each state and per 
street address within each state. So either you geo-locate the 
location of the buyer or get the street address of shopper to be able 
to apply the right sales tax upon each sale.  

How can I small developer ever be able to handle such issues?

Not possible.. I know, so as a developer you need to know your tax 
liabilities before you venture since now you know you are in business 
and invoicing end users. Alpha, beta whatever, still you all need to 
know the procedure, what you invoice, if you are exempt selling items 
without sales taxes, etc... before even you sell a single item.

One simple mistake, and all App Stores and the whole mobile digital 
downloads industry are put to risk.

   The 70% part is simple, it's between you and the buyer and add the
   appropriate TAX to it depending of the 2 countries. But it shouldn't
   be true for the 30%, it's between you and Google using maybe a
   different TAX.
