Apple says Spotify exaggerated how much 'App Store tax' it pays

In March, Spotify filed a complaint against Apple with the European Commission over the so-called "Apple tax" and claims of restrictive rules regarding the App Store. In the time since, Apple has responded with the launch of a website that takes aim at the anti-trust, anti-competitive claims against it, and most recently, a deep dive into how the process of app approvals works, by way of a CNBC profile. Now, Apple has responded to the EC complaint with its own filing that says Spotify is only paying this "Apple tax" on less than 1 percent of its paid subscribers.
