Hi

I received a query from one of my clients regarding direct contract.The client is not on upwork and hence I am posting question on his behalf.

Can the direct contract invoice from upwork be used for tax purpose and be shown in his account keeping books.

Thank you.

Hi Mrigaya,

When the client releases the payment, they'll receive an email to confirm that. They can keep the invoice/project receipt attached to that email for their records. Your client may need to seek tax advice from an independent tax advisor based on their particular circumstances though.

Hello, I tried creating a direct contract for a client (Not registered on Upwork). After filling all fields and setting milestones, I get the error  "We are sorry! We are experiencing a technical problem and cannot process your request right now. Please try again in a minute" at the top of the contract registration page. Please can I get some help to fix this?

Thank you.
