Ugh... What part of the world are you people from???
These are European prices, so they include VAT. That would be something like 15 - 20 % (differs per country even though consumer prices are 99 cents in the euro countries AFAIK).
Don't know what that means for the Apple/label split, but Apple has to pay for bandwidth (cheap), servers (not quite as cheap) and credit card processing. Just the latter is probably more than what artists get from the labels.
