Mission Payments

Hi everyone,
I've recently been selected for several Adobe Stock Missions and have successfully completed and submitted multiple assets.

However, I've noticed something strange with the payments:
Once my submissions are approved, I consistently receive around 30% less than the originally stated amount. The remaining balance is added to my account, but the deduction seems quite significant.

I'm trying to understand the reason behind this.
Is this deduction related to quality evaluation? Or is it due to withholding tax?

I should mention that I’m a non-US resident, and when I sell regular assets on Adobe Stock, no tax is withheld from those earnings.

I'd appreciate any insights or explanations from the community or the Adobe team.

Thanks in advance!
