Do Google Play developers need to pay U.S. taxes? Is there a difference in the 30%-10%-0% tax rate?

Hi everyone, this is Gogplay.com. In today’s article, we mainly explain the actual deduction rate of Google’s US tax returns;
As we all know, adsense/admob can enjoy a 0% tax rate for Google US tax returns using the identity of most countries, while Google play Google developers can enjoy a minimum tax rate of 10% in some countries. When we file our tax returns, we sign whether we have activities or business in the United States.
Do you need to pay attention to U.S. tax rates when you declare that you have no business activities in the U.S. when filing your tax return?
The answer is no, Google will automatically determine whether your source of income comes from the United States based on the system and deduct the tax rate you signed.
For example, revenue generated from ad clicks by US users, revenue generated by subscribers of US users (even if the other party uses a US proxy VPN to use our product), revenue generated by US YouTube YouTube users watching and playing (even if the user uses a US proxy VPN to Use our product) proxy vpn).
All of the above would be considered US-sourced income, so objectively we can’t really eliminate non-US-sourced income unless we block US users.
And Google’s monthly payment will be indicated on the billing record as [U.S. Chapter 10 withholding tax rate] If the tax return is 10%, then it is 10% of the income from the United States, if it is 30%, then it is 30%.
Last but not least, the minimum tax rate for Google Play developers is 10%, and the way Google calculates the tax deduction is in no way based on whether or not you operate your tax return in the US. For example, most Chinese access to Google must be through proxy IPs from other countries. Most of them are American IPs, but they are not American users in the true sense. When calculating American income, such users are also counted as income brought by American users. .
