Apple announced on 26th Oct. that a price change is coming in for Apple’s apps in-app purchases in a couple of countries. However, existing autorenewal subscriptions will remain the same.
It says In the next few days, prices of apps and in-app purchases (excluding auto-renewable subscriptions) on the App Store will increase in Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Russia, and South Africa. These increases also reflect the following tax changes:
- India: New equalization levy of 2% (in addition to the existing goods and services tax of 18%)
- Indonesia: New value-added tax of 10% for developers based outside of Indonesia
Prices of apps and in-app purchases (excluding auto-renewable subscriptions) will also be adjusted in Iceland and Albania to align with pricing used in other markets selling in U.S. dollars with value-added tax.

Once the changes come into effect the pricing and availability section of my apps will be updated, and your proceeds will be adjusted accordingly and calculated based on the tax-exclusive price.
Also, you can change the price of your apps and in-app purchases including auto-renewable subscriptions at any time with in-app store connect. If you offer subscriptions, you can choose to preserve prices for existing subscribers.
