foreword

The United States has different consumption taxes depending on the state, but there are also tax-free states, and the consumption tax is often not low, 5~10%. If you use a rebate card or gift card, it may be due to consumption tax. Makes you even worse.

This article analyzes and summarizes the principle of AppStore’s consumption tax region identification through several case tests. This article takes App Store US as an example, please refer to the actual situation

billing address

In the United States, the billing address is very important. Many financial institutions and banks do not use 3ds for security verification, but avs, which is simply address verification. By verifying the address and zip code data in the card issuer’s data, it matches the address zip code you filled in. , if it is not correct, the high probability will lead to chargeback, but this also depends on the settings of the bank and payment platform. If the US card is used in the United States with the wrong US address, the probability of rejection is quite high, but the US card may not be rejected if the non-US address is filled in.

Apple’s identification object is the billing address. You can see the data of this billing address on the official website or check it in the app yourself. It is the billing address of your first non-balance payment method.

Why is it said to be non-balance, because the balance does not carry an address, and the balance cannot be used when using functions such as gifts at the same time.

Why is it the first payment method, because the billing address of the ID is the default first payment method.

Then you can analyze and deal with this core: you need to control the billing address of the first non-balance payment method

Please note: The experimental data is limited, please refer to the actual situation, which may be changed at any time

The first refers to the top order, as shown in the figure

As shown in the picture, excluding the balance, the first one is Apple Cash

Of course, the balance is always at the top and debited first, but the billing address when using the balance is the first one below

You can also verify this on the AppleID official website

Of course, the first address of this payment method is not 100%, because there is a situation that there is no payment method. In this case, the address you fill in when you transfer/register shall prevail (if there is no payment method, but there is a balance, it will lead to No self-service transfer area)

Control Strategy

There are 2 points to control

1. Sources of funds
2. billing address

Sources of funds

The source of funds is simple. First of all, the purchase of gift cards is generally tax-free, the use of gift cards is generally tax-free, and the consumption balance is taxed the same as normal consumption.

For example, in this case, using a US debit card with a tax address, recharge the balance, tax-free. Same goes for gift cards.

Of course, if you don’t control the billing address to be tax-free, the balance will be taxed

billing address

Controlling the billing address of the first non-balance payment method is the core issue.

Then, according to the feasibility, it is divided into the following

1. Use PayPal US address
2. Use Apple Cash and other unused card top addresses

Use PayPal US address

This is the most common solution. First of all, the non-US card will not be bound due to the locked area. At this time, the address of the Matryoshka PP US can be transferred to the address you want, plus the address in mainland China and other places. The card does not verify AVS, making PP US available at any address in the United States. However, using a different address for the US Kasai PPUS may lead to failure.

Use Apple Cash and other unused card top addresses

Using this solution does not mean that you need FULL AppleCash, because you are not using it seriously, but control the billing address you need. You only need to open it initially to try to access the AppStore top, and the AppStore can directly identify the AppleCash balance. , as shown in the figure above, it will quickly skip this payment method and use the next one directly (if there is no balance or when giving a gift). You can use locked or unbalanced debit cards, credit cards, etc. as the top corpse. It is recommended to use unbalanced debit cards. Using locked cards and virtual cards does not rule out Apple ID being banned.

At the same time, tax identification still uses AppleCash, which is the billing address of the first non-balance payment method, while the address of the transaction record is the billing address of the actual transaction payment method. This solution does not rule out bugs, or a special routine of AppleCash+AppleCard, please refer to the actual situation, there may be changes.

The case is shown in the figure, and the addresses of the two payment methods are shown in the figure.

Then the transaction data is shown in the figure

It is found that although the payment card has a tax address, but no tax is deducted

Of course, in addition to using this top corpse plan, the balance plan is better

That is, pay with the balance, and then top a waste payment method (pp, applecash, invalid card, 0-balance card, etc.), but pay attention to the gift that cannot use the balance.

The recharge balance can be temporarily recharged with a rich card and other payment methods, or you can go to Apple’s official website and other channels to buy gift cards to recharge

This solution takes the billing address of the first non-balance payment method

This is what happens if the address is taxable

If it’s tax-free that’s it

Of course, you can also pay directly with AppleCash money, but it is not recommended to avoid overturning unless you are confident with complete KYC. (Small, early use does not verify tax ID and ID)
