Solved: Add customers to Upwork.com

Hi Team, My name is Barinder, and currently working as a freelancer. I want to understand if I can bring my personal customers on this platform for tax calculations and accounting.

Please confirm if there is any procedure?

Regards,

Barinder Singh Ghuman

Your clients can join Upwork and hire you, but note that you'll pay a 20% service charge on your earnings and they'll have to pay a credit card processing fee; you'll also lose money on the currency exchange. As far as I'm aware, there's no advantage in terms of tax calculations, either; if you're in a country where your clients have to pay VAT, it makes things even more confusing.
