Settlement

Are the currency units and exchange rates different for each countries/regions?

Exchange Rate Policy The exchange rate of the 1st day of the following month after the sales monthe will be applied. (Based on the rate of the Seoul Money Brokerage. If the 1st day is a holiday, the exchange rate of the previous business day will be applied.) Currency Unit Sales records are displayed in the local currencies of the countries/regions where the sales occurred (local currencies). Settlement details may differ in currency units depending on the service provider, as follows:

• Service Countries/ Regions	Service Provider (=Remittance Entity)	Developer Residency	Settlement Currency (=Payment Currency)
  Taiwan/ Singapore	ONE Store	South Korea	KRW
  		Outside South Korea	USD
  United States	DT One APP Store	South Korea	USD
  		Outside South Korea	USD

How are invoices for sales outside of South Korea issued?

Invoices for sales in South Korea are issued separately, and the type and issuer of the invoice may vary depending on the service provider. Please refer to the table below for more details.

• Service Countries/ Regions	Service Provider (=Issuer)	Developer Residency	Type
  Taiwan/ Singapore	ONE Store	South Korea	Tax Invoice
  		Outside South Korea	Invoice
  United States	DT One APP Store	South Korea	Invoice
  		Outside South Korea	Invoice

What are the differences from the existing settlement logic?

The service provider varies depending on the service countries/regions. If the distribution country/region is the United States, the service provider is DT One APP Store. For all other cases, the service provider is ONE Store. The applicability of VAT laws may vary depending on the service provider. If the service provider is ONE Store, VAT laws will continue to apply as before. However, based on the regulation stating that "amounts covered by a third party are included in the supply value," sales outside of South Korea (Singapore, Taiwan) will include amounts covered by third parties in the service fees, depending on the operational structure of each country/region (Related law: Enforcement Decree Of The Value-added Tax Act Article 61- Calculation of Value of Supply through Credit Sales, Paragraph 2, Subparagraph 9) If the service provider is not ONE Store, the above VAT application criteria may not apply. The service fee rate varies depending on the payment method of the user.( Applicable only to Taiwan and Singapore) ONE store offers various payment methods preferred by users. Among these methods, some payment options are considered 'High Rate Payment Methods,' which incur higher fees than the ONE store service fee. For 'High Rate Payment Methods,' the settlement is calculated by deducting both the ONE store service fee and the payment method fee from the payment amount. However, in this case, a lower ONE Store service fee rate is applied to maximize the developer's payout. Please refer to the following formulas: - ONE store Service Fee for 'High Rate Payment Methods' = (Payment Amount - Various Taxes - Payment Method Fee) * ONE store Service Fee Rate + Payment Method Fee - ONE store Service Fee for Non-'High Rate Payment Methods' = (Payment Amount - Various Taxes) * ONE store Service Fee Rate - The service fee for High rate payment methods = 10% or 15% - The service fee for all other payment methods = 20% The item “payment amount (net)”, which is the final payment amount, has been added to the settlement details. -The settlement amount includes the VAT agency payment amount to be paid in the local sales countries/regions. However, this item affects developers who directly pay VAT to the local sales countries/regions. For other developers, the service provider handles the payment on their behalf and it is excluded from the settlement amount. -In Taiwan, the withholding tax, incurred according to the payment method is displayed.

What is the format of the settlement details?

1. Product Price The price entered by the developer when registering the product is displayed. Whether the price includes VAT (or Sales Tax in the U.S.) may vary depending on the distribution country/region.

   Countries/Regions	VAT (Sales Tax) Inclusion
   Singapore	Included
   Taiwan	Included
   United States	Not Included

2. Payment Amount The price paid by the customer is displayed. This amount includes VAT(or Sales Tax).

3. Service fee Since the settlement amount is calculated after excluding the VAT(or Sales Tax) to be paid in the countries/regions of sales, the service fee displayed in the detailed settlement information is the amount with VAT(or Sales Tax) excluded. Accordingly, if the invoice for the service fee is issued as a tax invoice, it matches the value of supply.

4. Excluded amount Based on the operational model of the global platform in each countries/regions, there may be amount of money that are either excluded or compensated in the discount amount. Hence, the amount of money deducted from the discount amount will be displayed in the excluded amount.

5. Amount Owned and Settlement Amount The settlement amount is the final amount received by the developer. -Amount Owned: The amount is calculated according to the settlement rate and logic, and when a domestic developer is issued with a service fee tax invoice, an additional 10% VAT, which is expected to be reimbursed by the state, is deducted from the payment amount. -Settlement Amount: Generally, the amount owned and the settlement amount are the same. However, if the developer is responsible for paying VAT directly, the VAT is added to the amount owned to calculate the settlement amount.

Why is it necessary to submit Form W-8 or W-9 to sell products in the United States?

Under U.S. tax law, all developers generating revenue in the United States are required to provide tax-related information. Forms W-8 and W-9 are essential documents to verify and manage this information.

Currently, ONE Store requests these documents from developers during the verification process for paid products distributed in the United States by sending an email. Developers can submit the required documents by replying to this email. (Please note that the method for collecting these documents may be subject to change in the future.)

Failure to submit the documents or providing invalid information may result in a hold on payment disbursements.

For more details, please refer to the Countries/Regions-specific Tax Information.
