Generally taxes are personel. Local tax rules apply. So, you need to look what you need to do in your country.

Withholding is required no matter where you live.  Stock won't pay contributors until they submit their withholding forms.  It's as simple as that.

 

What you do with your personal / business taxes in your region is your concern.   If unsure, consult a local tax expert, parent/guardian to help you.

FOR NON-US CITIZENS:

Individual Stock Contributor, submit IRS Tax Form W-8-BEN.

Corporate Stock Contributor, submit IRS Tax Form W-8-BEN-E.

 

Pakistan has a treaty agreement with the United States.  The withholding rate is 8% for motion picture and television.  0% for images and others.  Treaty Article 8(1).

You must submit the withholding form to Adobe regardless.  So don't delay.

Download the form.  Fill it out and submit it from your Contributor portal.
