Am unable to withdraw funds into my Payoneer because VAT . Am not not freelancer am only using Upwork to receive payment monthly from my company . Am not a freelancer please activate my withdrawal for me

[anna_babicheva]

Hi, Kelenna. 

If you're receiving money from your employer and this happens to be through Upwork, you have to be registered as a freelancer, sole trader or whatever business entity you want to be able to pay taxes in your country. It is illegal not to pay taxes; Upwork knows that, and they are obligated to withhold a portion of your money if you don't have VAT. 

You HAVE to have VAT or GST or whatever the equivalent is in your country to be able to receive monthly payments from your company through Upwork. 

You may not consider yourself a freelancer, but that doesn't change anything. 

[sofia2008]

Upwork is not a payment platform. You are a freelancer and are subject to all fees related to your earnings.

[759e32fa]

Hi Kelenna,

Thank you for reaching out. I checked your account and it looks like you need to fill out the W-8BEN form in order for your payment method to become active. By using Upwork as a platform for your payments, Upwork is obligated to collect your Tax Information to prove that you're not a taxpayer in the US, otherwise, you will be subject to their tax. 

Kindly go to this page to enter your tax information.

Hey Upwork community! I'm facing an issue with withdrawing money from my Upwork account. Every time I try to use my payment method "direct to local bank," it shows as inactive. Has anyone else encountered this problem before? Could you kindly share any insights or solutions to fix this issue? Your help would be greatly appreciated

[spectralua]

It is inactive 3 days after edited. Security hold. Is it?

Set up Direct to Local Bank withdrawals

Possibilities To add your bank account: 

1. Go to Settings › Get Paid
2. Click Add Method
3. Click the Set Up button for your chosen method
4. Enter your bank account details, including bank codes
5. Choose a payment schedule and click Next

Important things to know:

• For security reasons, your new payment method will become active in three days.
• Check that the name on your bank account matches your verified name on Upwork. If your payment method was flagged for a name mismatch, please contact support to resolve the issue or add a new payment method.
• Be sure that you enter your bank information, including bank codes, correctly. We want you to get your money on schedule and any errors could result in a failed transfer or delay. If you've exceeded the character limit on the Name on Account field, please contact your bank to get an appropriate abbreviation.
• You should also contact your bank if you're not sure you have the correct information, or if you received an error when you tried to enter it into our system.
• Upwork charges $0.99 per Direct to Local Bank withdrawal. Any additional restrictions, timing regulations, and fees vary depending on your bank.
• Upwork cannot accommodate company registrations for TRY and PRK bank accounts. Adding a company bank account may result in failed/rejected withdrawals.

Bro, if I ask you, could you give this post a solution status, please? I need it

[e7c81728]

Despite having taken all the necessary steps, including verifying my tax information and ensuring that my name on Upwork matches that on my bank account, I am still unable to activate the payment method 'direct to local bank.' This has persisted even after I corrected a name mismatch that I initially identified.

I would like to emphasize that I have followed all the guidelines meticulously, and I am puzzled by the continued inactivity of the payment method. It has now been well over 2 weeks since I added the method

[LuiggiR]

Hi Manjur,

Are you referring to a payment method for withdrawing your funds? I can see that you've already added one. It's not active since it's going through a security verification period and should become active in three days.

[c6c93033]

No. I need more assistance. Its still not working. How can i fix it. My banks says they have approved my getways. I want to buy connects.but my debit card is not authorizing. Eevry info was correct order 

[PradeepH]

Hi Manjur,

I am sorry to learn about the challenges while adding your card as a billing method. Could you please reach out to the bank again to verify the card details and try again? Alternatively, you can try using another card to complete the transaction.

Hello,

I just completed my first project on Upwork and my client has also
made the payment. Why is it showing no earnings to display for the
selected date range (last 31 days)?

Please clarify and also let me know how to withdraw money. I am an
India based consultant who has also completed the identity check as
required by Upwork.

Sincerely,
Jaideep Chakravarthy

Hi Jaideep,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I can see that you opened a support ticket regarding this issue and are now being assisted by one of our agents. Please feel free to update the ticket should you have further questions or concerns.

[6d8f57f7]

Hi Annie,

In the support ticket it says solved with respect to the ticket opened. But the issue is not solved. To the best of my knowledge no agent has got in touch with me. In transaction history it says pending - why does it say this when I got a message saying that my client has approved the payment. Have I been paid, and moreover how do I withdraw the money. Finding it hard here to work with your website.

Hi, 
I have added Payoneer as a withdrawal method, which was added successfully but currently, it is appearing as Inactive, it has been 4-5 days since I have added it, and still inactive.

I am a non us resident so do I need to add any tax info?
Do I need to be a  tax filer?

[LuiggiR]

Hi Zoaia,

Yes, I can see that you still need to complete your Tax Information, which is why your payment method is inactive. You can go to Settings > Tax Information to fill out the missing information. You can check this help article to learn more.
