Apple Pay charges 0.15%. App Store charges 30%. I want to see both on the receipt. This is not rocket science. I can see how much government charges right? The point is to show me all intermediaries which are getting a cut directly from the purchase. App Store clearly is an intermediary.
Tim Sweeney mentioned it as well - app developers cannot show cost breakdown in their own apps, it's an App Store rule [1]. I don't mean here to give users second option to pay without tax of course. Just showing information, so users understand pricing rules.
We could push it a step further - show me all intermediaries taking a cut from any purchase and oh boy, this will be fun :)
