Currency support for Brazilian Real and required taxes

First, make sure that you’re signed out of any existing Google accounts. Then, create a new Google account and sign up for a Google Play developer account.

Before signing up, make sure you're signed out of your existing developer account. You can sign up for a new developer account at play.google.com/apps/publish/signup.

Important: When you create a new developer account, you must pay for registration using a local form of payment with a billing address located in Brazil.

Make sure the following conditions are satisfied, then contact our support team to transfer your existing apps, app data, and payment history to your new account:

• Your new Google Play developer account has been created using a different email address than your original account.
• The $25 developer registration fee has been paid successfully.
• You've signed in to your new developer account.
• You've signed up for a new payments profile using the email address used for your new developer account.

To request a transfer, review the information and submit your transfer request below:

Once your apps are transferred, our support team will cancel your original account and refund the registration fee. After the refund is processed for your original account, you won’t be able to sign in to the Play Console using your original developer account.

Note: Merchant balances can’t be transferred to a new account. Any outstanding balance in the USD denominated account will be settled in the usual disbursement cycle. You will continue to have access to other Google services, including financial reports for your original Google Play developer account.

Here's how to check and set prices for your apps on your new developer account.

1. Using your new account, sign into your Play Console.
2. Select an app.
3. On the left menu, click Store presence > Pricing & distribution.
4. Set prices in BRL for Brazilian customers.
5. Save your changes.

You need to migrate your original account because Brazilian Play Console developer accounts using US Dollars (USD) will no longer be supported.

Developers with BRL-denominated accounts receive earnings disbursements in BRL. BRL-denominated accounts still have the ability to set local pricing in other countries.

Only Brazil-based Play Console developer accounts are eligible to use BRL.

If you only have free apps (without in-app purchases), you don't need to migrate. Your free apps will remain available.

Once your migration has completed successfully and you’ve received a confirmation email, we will process a refund to your credit card for your account registration fee.

After the refund is processed, it may take a few business days for your card to show the credit to your account.

If you migrate to a new account, you will receive the money in your existing account in the next monthly disbursement cycle along with any future payouts earned on your new account.

For example, if you receive payouts at the beginning of each month, you’ll receive the final disbursement for that account at the beginning of November.

After you migrate your apps to a new account, your ratings, reviews, downloads, payment history, and other app information will be migrated as well. You won’t lose any existing information from your developer account.
