US Taxes - Poetry Publisher

How To Avoid Paying US Taxes

By default, the ‘masters of the universe’ will withhold 30% of your money (royalties).

Yes, Amazon (in the USA) withhold 30% of your earnings. The good news, though, is that if you live in Ireland, the UK or Canada, you can put a stop to this and get 100% of your earnings from Amazon because your country and the US have an agreement known as a tax treaty.

It used to be a nightmare where the US IRS required you to get an ITIN in order to claim back any tax, but it appears to be a lot easier now.

When you publish with us, we can sort out the tax treaty for you. We will need your NI number to do this.

If you publish a book with us, we can advise or do the forms for you.

“Choosing to publish my first collection of poetry through Poetry Publisher seems to have been a very good move. I had read books on self-publishing and it involved more work than I was prepared to do. I wanted to outsource, and Dave Lewis was the ideal person to approach. He took care of everything, was very easy to collaborate with plus providing lots of support and advice. I am delighted with the final product.”
– John Short
