What is "US Royalty Withholding Tax"

Hey,
I have an SFX portfolio, and from time to time, under the “Statement” tab, there’s an orange line saying “-$0.20 US Royalty Withholding Tax” or “-$0.30 US Royalty Withholding Tax” - What is that tax exactly? I’m not a US citizen btw.
Thanks,
Eytan

I"m not from the US . As I understand that is the US tax deducted from your revenue based on Royalty from your music. It’s income tax. The exact % taken rely on your US taxpayer status and Tax Treaty between the US and your country. To apply your status you should send form W-8BEN to AJ.

Thank you for your reply.
How can I ask Audio Jungle directly about this?
