Hi Abdul,
The TAX ID (PAN) status is under "Pending Verification" until we have a manual verification for PAN. Once you enter a PAN number, you will automatically get a reduced withholding tax of 1% regardless of the PAN "Pending Verification" status. There is no further action needed on your end.

Hi Manjeet,
Thank you for reaching out. If you're referring to the TDS or Withholding Tax, it looks like the name you provided under your Tax Information may not be correct. Please make sure that the legal name you add to your Tax Information (ID) and the Form W-8BEN match the registered name on the PAN ID. If you have a question about paying TDS, we suggest you reach out to a trusted tax expert or advisor to learn more about Indian TDS and your tax obligations since we cannot offer specific tax advice. You may find more information on Indian TDS here.

I already updated my tax information on 11/06/2023. But Upwork is still charging me wrong tax and WHT. Why? Please fix this and refund my earning. This is hurting me a lot. Why are you not understanding?

Hi,
I've recently started working on a project. But, Upwork is withholding 5% tax from every payment even though I've filled out the W-8BEN form and provided my PAN details and all these have completed status. I did not get any notification or email regarding the PAN verification. Please help me out in reducing the Withholding tax.
Thank you,
Shubham K.

Hi Upwork Team,
I've provided my PAN card details and it's verified. But still, 5% WHT has been deducted from my recent work instead of 1%.
Can someone help me with this issue, please?

Hello,
I have added the PAN card to the profile. Will it still take an extra 5% instead of 1%?
How can I get the 5% which was taken in the last transaction?
Regards

Hi Sachin,
Thank you for your message. If you have a verified PAN on file and you linked your PAN to your Aadhaar number by the Indian government’s deadline, we are required to withhold 1% of client payments.
I checked your account and noticed that you submitted the PAN details on July 9th while the last earnings were processed on July 7th. We are unable to refund the amount charged with a 5% Withheld Tax as this is already submitted to your government.
Thank you,
Pradeep

Hi,
How do I come to know that my PAN is verified? Will it still deduct 5% from future transactions?
Thanks

Hi Sachin,
Thank you for reaching out to us. Please be reminded that the amount of TDS we are required to withhold depends on whether you have a valid PAN on file with Upwork:
The team will surely let you know if further verification needs to be performed. Also, the withholding tax is calculated based on the gross amount that you invoice your client, so it is calculated prior to freelancer service fees or any other fees that may reduce the amount credited to your account. You may check this help article for more details.

Aug 1, 2023 09:26:14 AM by Annie Jane B
Hi Tripti,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We will only start to withhold a 1% tax on your account after it has been validated. Any payments before it was validated will still be be charged 5% tax.

You may enter your PAN in the Tax Info section under Settings. Please also double-check the format you will be using. As defined by the Indian government, the proper format is:

Hello,
I have add agency PAN Card details on agency account. Will upwork still take 5% extra commision?
Thank You!!
Aug 2, 2023 07:26:22 AM by Annie Jane B
Hi Neetu,
Thank you for reaching out to us. As long as you fill out your tax information and provide your PAN details, the withholding tax should be reduced to 1% instead of 5%.
Aug 2, 2023 10:17:15 AM by Neetu S
Yes, It should take only 1% after adding. I was reading on internet and some person were saying that , it took extra 5% after adding the details. Could you please confirm that it will not take 5%?
Thanks.
