Donating
-
I just donated to Windy through the app. I got my receipt from Google and it shows tax added. What's going on here? Did I buy the app or did I make a tax free donation?? I don't mind donating or even buying the app, but that was a bait and switch.

Hi @PitbullyTom, Thank you for the donation we appreciate your support! To reply your question, since Windy is a for-profit company without charity status we are not allowed to collect the tax free donation. Therefore all the taxes which are applicable in your country needs to be applied also on the purchases that you make on Windy.com. Anyway if you would like to ask the refund here is the simple way how to do so: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7205930?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1.

@Simona-Polackova thanks for the information, but why dont you just make it a pay app and not refer to it as a donation if it gets taxed?

@PitbullyTom hi again! We want to provide our service to everyone. That's why we choose voluntary donation instead of mandatory payment. 😉
