Are you talking about tax withholding? That goes to the U.S. government, not the UK. My understanding is that VAT is charged to the buyer.

No, i have no withheld tax it's the tax charge that i get ontop of my sales which is 20% so i'm guessing it's VAT and it's only for sales in the UK but as a tax payer i dont have to pay VAT as i'm under the 80k threshold

No, it's not. William is right, Itch.io also withholds the taxes owed to the US government for running an online store out of there. And again, you don't pay the VAT in EU countries, the buyer does. It doesn't matter where you are based, in either case.

I'm in the UK though i shouldn't have to pay US tax. and i checked my payout and there is nothing withheld "Tax Withheld(0%) -$0.00 USD"

Ah i see now that the buying pays the VAT well that's something atleast but still they're taking 30% when they should be only taking 10%
