 Hi David,
 
 It will depend on the company you sign up with as an affiliate.  Some of them will accept a declaration that you are a non US affiliate with no US activities and therefore won't take any taxes out of your earnings.
 
 You'll still have to consider Australian taxes though.  If I remember correctly, you can earn up to $50,000 per year in Australia as a "hobby" without having to pay tax on it.  So, if you have an offline job and are just doing this on the side, you could probably classify it as a hobby.
 
 Also, last time I checked, you can earn about $30,000 in network marketing in Australia without paying tax on it.
 
 Those numbers may be different now.  It's best to check on it yourself.
  
 Cheers,
 Angie
