1) get Indonesian PR. ( u save 20% tax) ,if you volume is high. it's good enough to give it a try

2) at least now we are paying 30% for US sales only.

lol bro.

surprisingly , singapore does not have a treaty with US.

on the other hand, indonesia is in the list. which i believe can reduce the rate to 10%. if i get like a few thousand USD from stock per month. i guess it's probaly a good try. since it will become a trend on other US stock sites too :D

Hello, i am from Singapore, and i was suprised that singapore doesnt have a treaty with US too and thats really bad :(
I hold a Indian passport and India has treaty and its taxed only 15% thats half! Does that mean if i give my permanent address as India then i can play only 15%?? Anyone knows? I am currently in Australia doing my masters and planning to apply for a PR after my studies so i can choose Australia as my permanent address too..

This is a very good news to me already... at least we dont have tax 30% every month!!

If 30%/5 Us sale = 6% tax... at least... it is more reasonable.. thanks god!

Hi Shutterstock,
Would it be possible to have a button to opt out sales from US ?


Thanks!
