my understanding (I am not a lawyer or accountant): when a US company pays for work or products, it must take tax for everyone, and pay it to US government. This is US law. If you live outside the US you must send a special certificate to prove it. Then the US company can pay all your money, not keeping any tax. (Of course this money must be reported to your own country’s tax people, and you must pay local tax. Without the certificate you will pay double tax).

I moved your post over from the poorly named Community Help forum, which is for getting help using this forum system, to a better forum. The Stock forum.
