IS payment has already arrived!

By the way, the sales are quite stable this month, it will not be a best month, but at least a slight upward turn.

I also got my payment

Is there any way to find out how much is deducted from taxes? Some kind of payment history?

panicAttack · « **Reply #2 on:** March 20, 2015, 15:28 »

I have found out, just need to follow link on Getty notification email

D*mn liars, they said we would get paid on the 25th and I have my money already on the 20th. (yes kidding, but since it seems so many people will find something wrong with pretty much everything...)

And once the one month lag is over for the PP, Subs, GI and whatever else, we'll all be sailing on smoother seas.

Well done IS on this I'd like to think its a sign of things to come....... but not hopeful

I'm glad because I just blew my wad on a GH4 and Metabones Nikon adapter.

Here too. Very nice to be paid early.

Plus they got it right on the tax....I confess to taking the added precaution of obtaining written confirmation from support that my form was correct and that tax would not be deducted.

In my view they paid late I could have cashed in a month ago and had my money three weeks ago under the old payment system.

Now waiting to see if I can get my $5.29 before the end of this month to cash in otherwise I'll end up waiting another 7 weeks!!! for payout

I am looking forward to seeing the detailed accounting for each sale. I am tax resident in a non treaty jurisdiction but completed the paperwork - meaning that I should be taxed at 30% but only on US sales.

As it is I have I seem to have been deducted slightly less than 9% in US taxes. At first glance that should imply (I believe) that roughly only about 1/3 of my sales were US.

However I think that the iStock sales at Getty Images covered in this accounting possibly pre-date iStock being US based.

This is Feb right? Early is relative, SS and even 123 have paid out for Feb ages ago.

Great, Feb payment arrived, but Jan is still missing.

Pablox · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2015, 10:13 »

Same here, received less money than the payout report...

Same here, I assume that it's wrong tax.. should be 0%

garth11 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 22, 2015, 15:05 »

still waiting payment...

Jeffrey · « **Reply #15 on:** March 24, 2015, 01:30 »

I believe I had 188, but I only received 172.

Maybe it was the tax?

But I'm from the Philippines.

Stockmaan · « **Reply #16 on:** March 24, 2015, 03:17 »

I think is not tax ... I also got about $ 10 less than it should in the case of a higher amount. Hmmm.

Maybe it's a Payoneer fee? I wait till tomorow and than I send a ticket for this.

PixelBytes · « **Reply #17 on:** March 24, 2015, 13:39 »

I used paypal. Got exactly to the penny what my Feb total was.

Uncle Pete · « **Reply #18 on:** March 24, 2015, 14:14 »

Same here, just went and checked to make sure. Gross reported on IS = PayPal $$$ Identical.

Must be something with taxes or Payoneer fees. I'd think that checking IS should show your actual pay and then you might determine if it was taken somewhere else?

Did you look here? https://secure.istockphoto.com/user_payout_report_new.php (for the people who got less than expected)

My payout report says $321.70 but I got only $228.85 on Paypal, wrote them but no answer.

ComfortEagle2095 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2015, 01:07 »

My payout was 20% less that it should have been. I'm a US citizen with a W-9 on file so there shouldn't have been any taxes deducted. Wrote to ask why but doubt I'll get an answer. Hopefully there will be more info coming when they get around to publishing the accounting info.

I have more than 100 USD of the balance since February and haven't received my money yet...
Should I worry?

bunhill · « **Reply #22 on:** March 26, 2015, 05:59 »

The receipts for the March payments have been posted at our payout reports page. These detail any tax deductions.

I was taxed 30% on US sales only. This is what they said would happen provided I completed the tax interview properly.

It's interesting to see what percentage of sales are to the U.S. as well - about a third in my case.
