Apple Lowers App Store Fees in Taiwan Starting October 31‎

Apple is lowering the commission that it collects in Taiwan to 26 percent, down from 30 percent. Apple plans to drop the rate for in-app purchase and paid app transactions on the iOS and iPadOS Taiwan storefront starting on October 31. The change comes after Apple held discussions with the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission (TFTC). Apple says developers do not need to sign updated terms by October 31 to get the reduced commission rate. Apple previously adopted the 26 percent commission rate in Japan and the European Union. Apple also negotiated a 25 percent commission in China after discussions with China's State Administration for Market Regulation. Apple normally charges a lower rate for Small Business Program members, but the announcement about the Taiwan commission changes doesn't include that information.Tags: App Store, TaiwanThis article, "Apple Lowers App Store Fees in Taiwan Starting October 31" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
