Title: Where sales come from
Post by: Tim Markley on July 02, 2010, 07:04

I just cashed out at Bigstock and due to the new tax info page I got a report that out of a $50 payment only  $1.50 was from US sources. I was surprised and would have guessed 90% of sales were US Based.

This is a doubt I have about the new tax deduction.  FT has sites (and offices) outside USA and I understand this separates the USA and non-USA sales.  But how does BigStock separates them?  I even thought they would not, and I would be charged on all my sales.  Is that by IP?  By the country the buyer fills in the registration form, regardless from where he is physically buying?

This is exactly what I would expect actually... the vast majority of all my sales thru their owner Shutter Stock have all been European sales.
