Depends on your country and the treaty they have with the US

Depending on your country's tax treaty, different media (photos, videos, music, other...) may be taxed at different rates, and CM may be applying the wrong rate for your type of content.
It's worth reading the tax treaty and eventually contacting them.

When I was selling at CM, they applied US tax on full amount buyer paid, not just your cut. It was one of main reasons why I stopped uploading there, it irritated me so much. That was couple years ago but it is possible they are still doing it.
