Hello everyone,
I’m facing a confusing issue in App Store Connect and hoping someone here has encountered this before.
Context: • Company developer account (UK-based) • App is free to download • Only optional In-App Purchases (Apple IAP) • No external payments • Using standard App Store distribution • Paid Apps agreement is active • US tax forms (W-8BEN-E) are active
Issue: Under Agreements → Tax Forms, I see:
United Kingdom Tax Info – Alternative Terms Addendum – Missing Tax Info
However: • There is no Alternative Terms Addendum visible under Agreements • I have not intentionally opted into EU DMA Alternative Terms • I do not have a UK VAT number (Apple should be Merchant of Record under standard IAP)
Finance Support says they do not support Alternative Terms. Agreements support has not responded yet.
Questions: 1. Can the Alternative Terms flag exist only under Tax Forms without a visible agreement? 2. How can a developer revert back to standard App Store terms if this happens? 3. Has anyone had Apple remove this EU DMA backend flag manually?
Any guidance or similar experiences would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
