It's clearly an agency contract, although saying not a single word that Upwork is an agent. There are clients and VAT. And more than that, taxes must be calculated based on the amount before VAT/comission deduction.

@Aleksandr S, yeah de jure it's an agency contract, but de facto a lot of people treat it as a simple 2-sides agreement and pay taxes from what's been withdrawn from Upwork. Just because it's simpler for everyone and also because you don't have any access to the money which clients pay before comissions. And no one can check the actual amount paid by clients.
This question was discussed many times at habr qna (ex toster).

Upwork has registered as a VAT payer in Russia. How did you come to conclusion that TaxO would not send an official request and Upwork would not answer? They can also come to a particular freelancer and ask to provide the total amount of earnings before applying comission and everything. So one has to decide whether this would be:
1) tax evasion, when a freelancer pays taxes after commission deduction
2) missing tax documents, when a freelancer pays taxes before commission deduction
One has to choose

You say all right.
That's why the best choise in this situation is use Patent Taxation System (when possible). In this case your taxes don't depend on your earnings.
