Why was money taken out of my earnings?

Money may be taken out of earnings for two reasons: refunded purchases or tax withholdings.

Updated over a year ago

There are two possible reasons why money could have been taken out of your earnings: Either some content was returned by a customer and their purchase was refunded, or, if you are not based in the US, taxes may have been deducted. Under U.S. law we are required to withhold up to 30% of your earnings from US-based downloads if you have not filled out the appropriate tax forms.
