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.

I am also facing a same problem. My PAN has been added and verified by Upwork before I starts freelancing job. But still upwork charging 5%. Can someone help on this.

I completed all the information required for tax verification and provided all the valid information, but Upwork deducted 5% of WHT from my payment.
Not able to figure out the problem.

Hello Community!
I've been noticing for so long that Upwork has been keeping 5-6% of withholding tax (Indian Resident) although I have supplied authorized PAN Details to Upwork. So, why is Upwork keeping this money in the name of the Withholding tax though PAN details are provided? Is the withholding money something that we can get back? If yes, how?
Please help me understand withholding tax and how can we get back if we can. If not, why can't?
Thanks,
- Panchdev Singh Chauhan

The tax withholding is TDS, so whatever is deducted from your payment will be deposited by Upwork with tax authorities. You will be able to claim an adjustment toward tax payable or get a refund is they have deducted more than your tax liability! You can check Form 26 to verify all deductions.
Upwork should deduct tax witholding @ 1% of your earnings, but if your PAN and Aadhar card is nor linked they will deducated at 5%. If your Pan and Aadhar is linked write to support and inform them, if not you have to link Pan and Aadhar. Then Upwork will deduct @ 1% rate

Hi ,
I have been trying to speak with someone regarding tax information. I have input all information and it is marked as compelte. However, I still get the message that I need to complete my tax info.
I had raised a concern , probably over chat , Mridula Sharma from the tax team replied to me . I wanted to ask a few more questions but i just dont find any way to connect with the support team. The chatbot doesn't help in my matter.
I was asked to upload my PAN card , but there is no instruction as to where i need to do that .
Would it be possible to kindly route my request to the tax department which can provide me with precise isntructions.
Sorry , i understand this might be the wrong forum to ask about tax queries , but as of now this is the only way i find to send my query accross.
Thanks,
Aniket Shende

Hi,
Can anyone explain me that why total of three deduction are done on my payment where my pan card is available and also approved.
1. GST => GST (IN) - Service Fee - which is 18% of my Service Fee
2. Service Fee => 10% of my total pay upwork
3. WHT => Withholding Tax 5% percent of total
My concern is the third one.
Kindly help

WHT => Withholding Tax 5% percent of total
This is getting deducted in every pay which should be only 1 percent but in my case it is 5%.

Hi All, please advice if I need to update my PAN card details once again as I see an alert that there is change in compliance. I just tried to verify in my profile, but it it showing an alert.

Hi Varshi,
I checked and saw that your PAN is rejected. The legal taxpayer's name must match the PAN ID. Indian tax law requires everyone who had a PAN as of July 2017 to link it to their Aadhaar number on Upwork. If you do not link your PAN and Aadhaar number, your PAN will become invalid and we will withhold 5% for TDS. Please follow the the instructions on the notification banner to accomplish this step. You can read more about it here.
