Please check my Legal Taxpayer Name. Now I verified the legal name and PAN number. Please check and approve.
Solved! Go to Solution.

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.

Can I request a reimbursement for the 4% withholding tax that was deducted from my Upwork payments prior to my PAN verification, given that they currently deduct only 1% following the verification?
Aug 16, 2023 02:12:32 AM by Annie Jane B
Hi Kaartik,
Thank you for reaching out to us. Any payment before your PAN was approved will have the 5% tax deduction and any payment moving forward will have 1% since the PAN has been approved already.

I've edited my PAN card details (India) and it's been verified too. Yet, 5% WHT has been deducted from my recent work instead of 1%. Can someone help me with this issue, please?

I have added my PAN number along with completing all the related tax information.
Even after the status being shown as 'Completed', I am still receiving 5% dedcuted payments.
Please look into it and guide me on how can I start receiving payments with 1% TDS and if I can get back the 4% that was withheld on my previous payments.
Thanks.

Hi
I added my PAN details almost 3 months ago
As per my findings after adding PAN details, the withholding tax deduction will be 0.75%, but Upwork still deducts 5% from my earnings.
Please help, and if I am correct then I want to request a refund for the extra deduction.

Hello Team,
I added the PAN card of the agency but I can't see the tax submitted on behalf of the agency PAN card. Upwork cuts 1% if a PAN card is added. I have already added agency PAN card and upwork started to cut 1% also but I can't see the submitted tax at our indian government tax portal. Does Upwork submit the tax per quarter or per week ( when the transaction happens) ?
Thank You!!

Hi Neetu,
I understand you query.
You can check 1% deductions on your agency Pan Login Account.
When you login from your Agency pan on ITR Login portal then you can see the deductions.

Hi Anmol,
Thank you for reaching out. Since you already have PAN details for your agency, please use them for your agency tax information. Once your PAN has been verified by our Tax Team, succeeding payments that you'll have will then be subjected to just 1% instead of 5% withholding tax.
Oct 18, 2023 05:38:44 AM by Anmol V
Hi Annie,
And what about the names in the form fields? I have also asked that naming query as well.
Can you please check and revert the same?
Have you checked screenshot?
Thanks!

Hi Avery,
I am facing the same problem I have updated my PAN way back and finished 2 contracts and third is in progress, but still upwork withholds 5% for every transaction, I tried raising an isssue but that page dose not even work, and I dont know where to complain how to reach out, can you please help
Oct 19, 2023 07:28:02 AM by Annie Jane B
Hi Rahul,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked your account and it looks like the PAN details you submitted last September were rejected due to formatting error. You resubmitted your PAN details last 17th of October and this time, it was accepted.
Please keep in mind that the withholding tax of 1% will only apply to your earnings after your PAN has been verified hence your previous earnings were still subjected to 5% tax.
Oct 20, 2023 05:50:53 AM by Rahul S
Hi Annie,
Thanks for the update, now since my PAN details are accepted, can I expact any payment received after 17 Oct to have only 1% withholding, also previously deducted 5% will be reflected in my Income tax
Oct 20, 2023 06:04:17 AM by Annie Jane B
Hi Rahul,
Yes, that should be the case in your future earnings.

Hello Upwork team,
Greetings.
I already added my PAN card but I am still receiving this message. Is there an issue with my PAN card or other? Can you please check and help me with this?
Thanks & Regards.

Hi Shanti,
I took a closer look at your account and can also confirm that your Tax Information has been completed. Nothing to worry about; as long as a new W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E form is filled out completely and validly, we are not required to withhold U.S. income tax.
