1. Under the legal name of business you can also add your full legal name and submit your W-8BEN form.

Thanks Goran For Your Time .

My Issue Is Do Students need GstIn No?

Hi Rohit,

 

If you do not currently have a GST number, you may wish to consult with a trusted tax expert or advisor. Upwork cannot provide tax advice. Thank you.
