Tax withholding tax for non-US residents
Disclaimer: This article has been prepared for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal or tax advice. Users should consult with a qualified tax professional regarding their specific tax circumstances. OFFstep DOES NOT give tax advice, so we must state that this is not tax advice.
If your tax domicile is outside the United States, a portion of your earnings, potentially up to 30%, could be subject to tax withholding. However, if there exists a tax treaty between your country and the United States, and if you meet the criteria for treaty benefits, withholding may be decreased or waived altogether.
Depending on the tax laws and guidelines in your country of tax residency, you might have the option to offset some or all of the taxes withheld by the United States against your own tax liabilities.
