It&#8217;s important to ensure you submit your tax information to avoid having more earnings deducted than necessary. The rate you will be taxed depends on whether your country has a tax treaty with the US. You can expect deductions of your US earnings to be between 0 &#8211; 30%.

This means that until we have your completed tax info, we\u2019ll need to deduct up to 24% of your total earnings worldwide &#8211; not just your U.S. earnings.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Creator submits tax info and claims a treaty benefit<\/strong>: Final tax deduction is&nbsp;<strong>$15<\/strong>. This is because India and the U.S. have a tax treaty relationship that reduces the tax rate to 15% of earnings from viewers in the U.S.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Creator submits tax info, but is not eligible for a tax treaty<\/strong>: Final tax deduction is&nbsp;<strong>$30<\/strong>.
