My country has a 0% (5%, 10%, 15%) treaty agreement with the USA. How does this work?

Once you properly complete the Form W-8BEN we will withhold at the tax rate specified in your country's income tax treaty.

Example: If your country has a 10% withholding tax rate, and you earn $150 in U.S. source royalties - your net royalty payment will be $135 ($150 - $15 [10% withholding tax] = $135 )

If, however, we license your images to customer outside the U.S., your related royalties will not be considered U.S. source and will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax.

Example: If your country has a 10% withholding tax rate, and you earn $150 in total royalties, $75 of which is U.S. source and $75 is from non-U.S. sources - your net royalty payment will be $142.50 ($150 gross royalty - $7.50 [ 10% tax applied to $75 ] = $142.50)
