I’m working for a U.S. client and they withheld 30% tax. Can a tax treaty lower that?

Yes. Tax treaties are designed to prevent double taxation and reduce the U.S. tax burden for non-residents. For example, a treaty might reduce withholding tax on freelance income from 30% to 0% or 10%, depending on your home country.
These benefits are only accessible if you file the correct treaty forms, proving eligibility. Business Globalizer can guide you through it; from evaluating the treaty to submitting IRS-compliant forms.
