There's a change that will start affecting many developers that publish their apps on Google Play in the near future, especially those that frequently sell apps to European countries. Starting January 1st, Google will begin automatically deducting VAT (Value-Added Tax) from the sale price of applications due to a change in European law as to how the tax must be collected. Currently, developers can handle paying VAT separately and not have Google skim anything (besides the 30% fee) off the top.
Depending on the country, this means that Google could end up taking up to 25% off an app's revenue to pay for VAT. This doesn't mean developers will be making less money, but it does mean they'll be losing that tax up front instead of having to pay it on the back end. Depending on who you ask, that's either a good or bad thing.
Either way, the change takes effect at the start of the new year, so if you need to adjust your pricing for this change be sure to take a trip to the Android Developer Console.
