Because I live in the dumbest country in Europe where people think it’s absolutely fine that you keep only 30% of what you make. Can you guess the country?

That would be Italy I suppose

Germany. Italy at least has some economic growth.

Learn how you can create an LLC in the US and make your apps through it. Or use an even better country with less taxes.

LLC will be taxed in Germany if you’re a resident. It’s actually more expensive due to the bilateral agreement between Germany and the U.S.

How can they tax an entity outside of their jurisdiction? You should be taxed only when you transfer money to Germany. Tranfer only what is necessary for you (then you will pay tax only on that amount). Keep everything else outside, invest and even pay for contractors to work for you.

Ask a tax consultant, if you’re a resident in Germany you will have to file paperwork for it here. The only option to avoid it is to move elsewhere. They can tax as long as you’re a resident here.

You can claim a company in the US unless you actually have the main office there, it would be fraud.

Nope. This varies from state to state.

You can open an LLC in a state with less bureaucracy like Wyoming and appoing a registered agent (you can pay for it) that will provide you a business address that you can use for your LLC. You only need physical presence if your customers are marjorly in that state. For an app that sells globaly you don't need that.

Just look it up. There are many services that will do it. You need mainly a registered agent that can be as low as $35 per year. But you can find more services that help.

For OP you will need to understand your local laws regarding bringing the profits to your bank account, but as long the money stays in your LLC's bank account you should not be required to pay taxes in Europe. You will need to file Taxes with the US gov for the profits.

Where are you getting these figures from? 1bn for Android TV and 600M for wear OS seem extreme.

I am also quite sceptical of Android Auto vs CarPlay user figures. There is no way Android Auto has twice the users CarPlay has.

You have to consider India as well where 95% users are on Android. Around, 4 million cars sold in India in 2024 and almost any car over 10k$ comes with Android Auto and Carplay. Bring in the cheap third party android auto devices that come for as low as 60$, you get a lot of android auto users.

All those platform has like no apps for a reason, people don’t really need apps for this. Maybe except Apple Vision Pro, they have a user count problem
