Hello @ElianaC I got a reply from Udemy regarding this issue, which has made me more confused. I appreciate your he lp to explain it to me. ----------- "Hi Haytham, The US Internal Revenue Service requires that Udemy withhold tax from certain payments to instructors based on their tax status and the location of their students. To be clear, this is an IRS tax that applies to income from US students (not students from other parts of the world). For non-US instructors who submit a valid form, the default rate is 30% for US student sales. If you calculate the "Withholding amount" from your revenue as a percentage of your total sales, you'll see that your overall percentage withheld is below 30%, since the 30% withholding only applies to your US student sales. I hope this helps clarify" ------------ Since this applies on US instructor, as a non- US citizen or non-US resident why should I pay such tax? What I'm sure of is that a non-US instructor can not pay tax to US. Thanks
