Hi,
I received a letter from GP with the following paragraph>
Please note that under Brazilian law, all merchants selling content in Brazil that receive payouts in any currency other than Brazilian Real will have a required 25% tax withheld for purchases made by Brazilian customers.
I wish I could, Luca, but this is the only thing they left for me.. 30% to Google + 25% to Brazil
and I am left with 45%.. it doesn't worth it..
Another solution is to collect the money in local Brazil Real and give it to anyone there, so the government doesn't get anything.
If we created a free app to be published on Google whose purpose is to advertise the "real" app for sale on our site (saving that 30%)?
(I should open a new thread for what I am about to write, but this is only my outburst. I just found out that someone has made an app that I had in my mind for many months and to which I was assigned a wrong priority; it has been downloaded 50,000,000 times!
I feel like the one who always plays the same numbers in the lottery but only once did not play thinking, "Does not matter, I'll never win!"

For this reason, I will probably remove Brazil from the distribution list in my GP console, as Google suggests:
"Because the tax is required, the only way to opt-out of this Brazilian tax is to remove your app from distribution in Brazil."

Filippo, that's perfect solution.. thanks..
I would say 26% though.. because it is calculated for the whole amount and I don't want to give them a penny

why remove?? just add those 25% to your price and that's it...
you can set the price for your apps individually to all countries so brazil will pay 25% more then france
EDIT: i see now that fillippo allready said that.. sorry..
