Tax on Getty earnings

This month I've been charged $17 tax on $57 earnings for US sales. I am registered in the UK and have never paid tax on US earnings before. I have submitted the correct tax form. What's going on? Also, why is the tax rate so high, that's like 30% tax!

I've raised a ticket, but has anyone else experienced this?

Adobe Anual and Perpetual Free Collection

Hi folks,

I've just received the email about offering up selected images to the Adobe free collection, and wondering how to play it.

Last year I made a few quid (relatively speaking), but since then my sales have increased dramatically. My initial thoughts are that Adobe only offers this as it benefits them more than it does us. However, I can't help thinking of the old adage that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

How are you guys approaching it? Only offering selected images, all, nothing? My initial thoughts are to just offer up everything, as actual income is better than potential income, and even if I lose out on a few pictures, with consistent uploads it's possible to replace any deficit that might occur.

Cheers!

20206 is shaping up pretty well so far, and that's with minimal uploads.

I've decided to quit Shutterstock entirely, and Dreamstime too. Now just focusing on Adobe and iStock.
