Thank you for writing in. U.S. tax law requires us to report royalty payments made to entities and persons who are selling titles in the U.S. and are resident outside the United States. We are also required to withhold and remit taxes on such royalty payments to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Although you may also be required to report and pay taxes to your own government, we are not involved in this process.
The tax withholding rate for royalties paid tonon-US payees is 30%. If the country where you claim to be a resident for purposes of that country’s income tax has an income tax treaty with the United States, you can claim a reduced rate of withholding by completing the tax interview with your valid tax identity.
For more information regarding U.S. tax withholding rules for royalty payments made to non-U.S. persons, see IRS Publication 515 for details.

For more information on countries which have existing tax treaties with the United States, see pages 36-37 of IRS Publication 901.

Po eni strani piše, da non-US rezidentom poberejo 30% davka, v p901.pdf dokumentu pa piše, da ima US sporazum s Slovenijo, da ne poberejo davka.
V W8-BEN obrazcu jasno piše, da sem iz SLO. Hmmm... Mogoče kdo razume to malo boljše, kot jaz? :) Hvala.
