Tax Issues

Hello everybody. I am looking for some information about upwork tax policy but I could not find the proper answer. Does anybody know how the tax deduction will be when we get a project from upwork ? I suppose there should be a fee they deduct from our earnings !!! And if for example we want to work through paypal, will paypal also charge us for tax ?

It would be a great help if you let me know. Thanks

I assume you are talking about income tax, not VAT? You are responsible for income tax on your end, as nobody at upwork knows your total income (from other sources) and life circumstances, expenses, and any other factors that impact your tax liability. 

Hello. Thanks a lot for the explanations. Honestly I would like to know how much I am going to be charged for any tax or other fees in up-work or pay-pal for each project
