Easy-peasy.. just like when you go to the super market or a restaurant and the receipt has the analysis of the amount: $15 pizza, $15 salad, $3 soft drink, $10 VAT, $8 Apple's 30% fee (I didn't do the math, but you get the spirit).
They CANNOT force you to remove transparency and visibility of the line items. I understand that they want to hide the 30% cut and not being called out.
They can also split the receipt in three parts:
A) you purchased:
Pizza $15, Salad $15, Soft drink $3
B) Other fees:
Apple's 30% fee $10
C) Taxes:
VAT $3
Edit: it just hit me. Don't write that ONLY in the receipt. Write it up front, BEFORE a user completes the transaction. Total price of ticket $10. Analysis.. X, Y 30% Apple's fee, VAT.
- thedanbob 6y agoThis is exactly the issue. Apple blocks your app updates if you explicitly state the fee anywhere.
- pwinnski 6y agoThat is one of the most frustrating things about shopping in America: that taxes are always broken out separately, requiring extensive mental math. The purpose is, as you suggest, forcing people to confront the reality of taxes. But confronting that reality is not making us rise up against sales taxes, so... include the tax in the marked price! /petpeeve
