Apple Applies 5% Commission per EU Law

Apple announced that it will modify the fee and commission system for digital transactions on apps distributed outside its App Store in European Union countries, in accordance with the European Digital Markets Act. Apple will adopt a uniform 5% commission rate instead of the previous complex system, starting October 1st, with the removal of acquisition and store service fees. Developers will be allowed to pay only the basic commission when distributing their apps through alternative stores or the web. For apps using alternative payment methods within the App Store, a 20% commission will apply, reduced to 10% under the small business program. This move comes in response to regulatory criticisms and is a step towards implementing the requirements of the European Digital Markets Act, which aims to end monopolistic practices and facilitate the use of alternative payment and distribution methods. The European Commission has welcomed the changes and will continue to monitor their practical implementation.
