VAT ID

Greetings

 

I live in Norway, and we can earn 5.000$ without registering in the VAT-registry.

Upwork says they will "collect taxes" if I don´t give a VAT ID. What does this mean exactly, and does being over here make a difference ?

Yours truly
Audun H. Nilsen

OK, so..

I just received my first billing transaction history, eh, and I have a few questions;

1) What is the fee exactly? Is this a one time-thing, or..? 

2) The tax seems low if it´s supposed to be VAT, so I wonder; what sort of VAT are we talking about? Is this a VAT on the service provided by me, or by Upwork? I guess that sounds stupid, but I thought VAT was in the neighbourhood of 12-25%. Do you keep up to tabs with rates in Norway, or do you have "your own" rates, as in American, I would presume ?

3) I suppose this is none of your concern, but if I transfer to Paypal, do they charge a fee as well? I´ll know the answer to that shortly, I presume, but..
