Not always. Tax treaties may reduce or exempt specific income types, but they don’t cover everything. Plus, the exemption only applies if you properly claim it. Many U.S. payers withhold the full 30% by default unless you submit valid treaty documentation.

So, while a treaty can lower or remove tax on things like royalties or services, you still need to:

* Submit the correct IRS forms
* Meet all treaty conditions
* Track and report any U.S. income appropriately
