Well, not really. For example, if you get a payment from Adsense (Google Ireland) or any other source as a native person (not a company), in the country you live now (SLO), you need to declare it in 10 days. They will deduct 10% as normalised expenses from that. Than they send you a bill for witholding tax of 25% of the rest 90% of your income. Next year, when your tax return is due, you either get some money back, or if you are in the higher bracket than 25%, you need to pay some more.
Spain is similar, only withouding for this year is 19%. It is better to register as self employed, you can deduct actual expenses than.
About witholding tax, I think no company actually does it for payment outside of their own country.
HOWEVER, I heard that Amazon US is very strict about this and they withold tax for all countries US does not have a double taxation treaty signed with! It even witholds tax when paying commisions to Hong Kong company (???).
