A domestic company paying a foreign person for income earned be it passive or not is subject to US tax of 30%.
What that person does or does not do with the money when it gets to their country is of no relevance but the law pertaining to taxes on that money before it leaves this country is quite clear and subject to U.S. tax of 30%.
