Yes, the state you are in is what counts. On Mar 2, 2009, at 3:17 PM, lotusscript <[email protected]> wrote:
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? george_c wrote: What did you all sign or agree to before you submitted the apps to the Android Market? 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.

But it shouldn't be true for the 30%, it's between you and Google using maybe a different TAX. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
