Seems like tipping over $1m of revenue means your App Store tax now suddenly doubles?

The year-on-year qualification system is nonsensical and punishes developers with declining revenues.

A developer with revenues over $1m in the current year but under $1m in the next year would not qualify for the reduced tax rate.

They should have implemented a progressive tax system for everyone, not just those who qualify on a yearly basis.
