Apple Inc. agreed to voluntarily correct its commission policy of charging local app developers more after the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) launched a probe into the US tech giant.
There is widespread criticism that Apple unfairly charges commissions to South Korean app developers only.
The fees charged to local app developers are based on the consumer price inclusive of value-added tax, prompting the FTC to launch a probe.
The FTC said that while overseas app developers paid a 30 percent commission to Apple, local firms were asked to pay a 33 percent rate, as they were charged based on the price that includes a 10 percent value-added tax.
Chairperson Han Ki-jeong said they will continue monitoring fair practices in the app market and establish an ecosystem that benefits both operators and developers.
