> It's a big leap from free to €99 + VAT. Indie iOS developers don't pay VAT (it's taken by Apple on top of our 30% cut), so a VAT-inclusive price is easier.

I always thought that "VAT-inclusive" meant that the price included VAT. If so, doesn't charging VAT-inclusive mean that those developers are now paying VAT twice on this expense, once through Apple and a second time as part of this purchase. (Ordinarily they'd be able to take a credit for the latter, buf if it's bundled, they don't have the relevant information, or rather, receipt.)
