I’m writing to understand how taxes are applied to our subscription revenue and to clarify a potential issue we’re facing.
For a ₹299 subscription:
Apple deducts a 30% commission, leaving us with ₹209.30.
After that, an additional tax of approximately 18% (₹36.11) is deducted by Apple, which reduces the amount further.
When we receive this ₹173.19 in our bank, we are required to pay 18% GST again on this amount in India.
This appears to result in us paying tax twice. Could you clarify why 18% tax is deducted by Apple, and if we are not required to pay it again, where can we see this adjustment on the GST portal?

Hi,
Our application offers 3 non-renewing subscriptions. I have integrated the necessary code, and our App Store Account Paid Agreement status is Active. Transactions are successfully completed in the sandbox environment.
However, I am facing difficulties with server-side validation. The /verifyReceipt API is deprecated, and I need an alternative method for server-side validation. The Apple documentation is quite confusing, and I couldn't find any articles related to the new approach for server-side validation.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide a detailed guide on how to perform server-side validation with the new method.
Thank you in advance.
