Google will apply local VAT on the service fee. The VAT amount will be reflected separately from the service fee amount.

Due to VAT and goods and services tax (GST) laws, Google is responsible for determining, charging and remitting VAT or GST for all Google Play Store paid app and in-app purchases made by customers in locations where Google is the Merchant of Record (MOR) and in the following locations:

• VAT: Albania, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Georgia, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey
• GST: New Zealand
• Service tax: Malaysia

Google will send VAT or GST for paid app and in-app purchases made by customers in these countries to the appropriate authority. You don't need to calculate and send VAT or GST separately for customers in these countries.

Here's how to review the VAT or GST rates used for paid app and in-app purchases in these countries:

1. Open Play Console and go to the payments profile page  (Setup > Payments profile).
2. Click Manage sales tax.

Assuming app price in country is 100JPY and VAT is 20%:

Developer receives from Google: 75JPY

Developer remits VAT: 17JPY

• Example: 100JPY – (100JPY * 1/1.2) = 17JPY
• App price – (App price * 1/(1+tax rate))

Developer revenue after 70/30 split and remitting VAT: 58JPY

• Example: 83JPY * 0.7 = 58JPY
• Pre-VAT price * 70%

If you're importing CSV files with in-app products, please keep tax-inclusive pricing in mind.

• If you use auto-converted pricing, you can provide a tax-exclusive default price. Tax-inclusive prices will be auto-converted.
• If you don't use auto-converted pricing, prices must include tax.

Local prices for in-app products

To prevent the local price for your country's default currency from being auto-filled for in-app products, you need to specify the in-app products' price twice in the CSV files you import:

• The first price sets an in-app product's default price.
• The second price sets an in-app product's local price.

Note: To import CSV files with in-app products, go to create an in-app product.

The sales tax rate will be a percentage of the price of your app. For example:

Sales tax rate	App price	Sales tax	Total app price
20%	$10	$2.00	$12.00
