If your country of tax residency is not in the United States, up to 30% of your earnings may be subject to tax withholding. If there is a tax treaty between your country and the United States, and if you qualify for the benefits of that treaty, withholding may be reduced or eliminated.
Depending on the rules and regulations in your country of tax residence, you may be able to credit some or all of the United States tax withheld (if any) against your taxes.
A detailed list of applicable withholding rates per country can be found in the column labeled “Copyrights” here:

Tax treaty information can be entered at www.distrokid.com/payouts, in Section 3 (Tax Forms), Part II (Claim of Treaty Benefits).
