If for 2018 taxes:
The pre-withholding is not a stand-alone assessment. Your 2018 tax return will be the final accounting of everything for the entire year. The 20% plus 10% prepayment is just an estimate of what might be required for the tax year.
When you eventually prepare the year's tax forms, the 30% withholding gets applied and added to ALL your other tax withholding for the year as a total credit. Then all your income from all sources is added together to get a total taxable income, for which the standard income tax is applied, initially ignoring the 10% penalty, and then showing the added 10% penalty on line 59 of the new 2018 Schedule 4 . That gets added to your standard income taxes.....to show a total owed for the year. Then the total withholding from all sources is used as a credit against that total.
So it all works out properly...total withholding vs. grand total taxes and penalties assessed
The government sure knows how to screw its citizens by combining the money you took out to live on and taxing it again at 10% with a higher gross sum.
