Hello,
I live in Switzerland and I want to know if I can use the Upwork invoices to deduct as fees for taxes in Switzerland?
Does Upwork pay social security contributions for freelancers?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi Catherine,
Upwork charges (VAT) on our service fees, premium membership fees, and additional Connects for freelancers and agencies from the European Union (EU). VAT is currently not available for clients but will be coming soon.
To answer your next question, Upwork doesn't pay social security contributions on behalf of freelancers.

Catherine,
Talk to your tax consultant or your tax office. Normally there should be no problem using the Upwork invoices in your bookkeeping as costs.

Hello,
There is no amount into the bill for the VAT. What is the VAT Rate used so that I can include the raw amount of the bill without VAT to include the Swiss VAT?
Thanks,
Nicolas
