Taxes Policy (Tax Management)

Check Our Distribution Policy for Full Legal Terms

This page does not replace the need to consult our Distribution Policy. Please review it here to fully understand all applicable legal terms.

In the Aptoide Connect Console, you can choose whether to have us calculate and manage taxes on your app's In-App Purchases (IAPs), making us your Merchant of Record, or to handle them yourself. To configure this setting, go to the Apps section and click on button Taxes Policy.

In the Taxes Policy section, you can configure whether we collect and remit taxes on your apps’ in-app purchases and act as your Merchant of Record.

Please note that Aptoide Connect does not provide tax advice. For guidance on how taxes may impact you and your end users, consult your tax advisor.

"With Taxes"

When this feature is enabled by selecting “With Taxes”, we calculate the NET amount and apply sales taxes to all in-app purchases made in countries where the “Taxes Applied?” flag is enabled. In all other countries, no sales taxes are applied by us to your apps’ in-app purchases.

In countries where the “MoR?” flag is enabled, we act as your Merchant of Record, which means we also remit the collected taxes to the relevant authorities on your behalf.

For countries where the “MoR?” flag is disabled, you can still choose whether taxes should be applied to in-app purchases and define the applicable rate, but you will be responsible for remitting those taxes to the relevant authorities.

There are some countries where we do not act as your Merchant of Record, except for specific payment methods (for example, MiPay in Brazil).

How we calculate taxes:

For countries where we handle sales taxes, the price you set is tax-inclusive.

For example, if an item has a base price of €1 and the applicable sales tax rate is 23%, the calculation is:

€1 = Net amount + (Net amount × 0.23)
€1 = 1.23 × Net amount
Net amount = €1 ÷ 1.23 = €0.81

Your revenue share is 75% of the net amount, so:

€0.81 × 75% = €0.60

You, the Developer, will receive €0.60. The remaining €0.19 is sales tax, which we collect and remit to the relevant tax authorities on your behalf.

This means that the price you set in the Aptoide Connect Console is the final price paid by the end user. All in-app purchase prices shown in your app are tax-inclusive.

"No Taxes"

When this feature is disabled by selecting “No Taxes”, and an item with a base price of €1 is purchased, you, the Developer, receive 75% of that amount, €0.75. Without taxes, €1 equals the net amount.

This means that you are responsible for calculating, collecting, and remitting all applicable sales taxes on your app’s items. Aptoide Connect does not provide tax advice, and you should always consult your tax advisor.
