Apple faces a second EU antitrust complaint as competitors claim they're being crushed by the App Store tax
Rakuten filed an antitrust complaint against Apple in the EU in March, the Financial Times reports.
Apple charges a 30% levy on in-app purchases, something Rakuten says unfairly raises prices on Kobo compared to Apple's e-book service. Apple is facing a new accusation of abusing its monopoly. Any app on the App Store which uses in-app payments has to use Apple's payment system, which charges up to a 30% levy on each purchase. For Kobo, this means if it wanted to sell books through its free app it would have to pay a 30% commission on every book sold.
Apple also has an ebook service called Apple Books. Rakuten's claim is that it's anti-competitive for Apple to charge a tax on Kobo, a competitor to Apple Books. Neither Apple nor Kobo were immediately available for comment when contacted by Business Insider.
