Do iPhone App developers have to pay sales tax?
Hello,
I am an iPhone App developer in the United States. I would like to know who reports sales tax - Apple or a developer?
Thank you!

Apple handles sales taxes when the app is purchased.
The buyer pays sales tax not the seller.
Thank you, Michael. I understand that. But does Apple also reports sales taxes to the authorities?
Well, I sure hope so.
Do you think they just keep the collected sales tax for themselves?
I wasn't sure if reporting sales tax to the authorities was my responsibility as a developer.
That's why we pay Apple 30%.
Not sales tax, but income reporting for income tax is your responsibility. Apple does not send W-2s. 8^)
Not a W-2, but maybe a 1099 (miscellaneous income) - are App Store applications considered merchandise or a service?
