Hi Marina,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Upwork charges VAT to freelancers and agencies in certain countries unless specific exemption requirements are met. Upwork is required to collect this tax and pay it to the appropriate government agency.

Please know that VAT is applied to the Upwork service fee, premium Upwork memberships, and purchases of Connects. The tax is collected by Upwork and remitted to the respective EU government. We remit the VAT payment we collect to your government through the Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) mechanism instituted by the EU.

VAT is shown on your invoices, which can be found under Reports  ›  Transaction History.

To add VAT number please go to Tax Information > VAT and click on the "plus" icon to add your VAT Number. Here is a screenshot for reference.
