Hi Amanpreet,

Thank you for your message. I see that the Legal Tax payer name does not match your registered name on Upwork. Could you please try adding your Tax ID again using a name that matches your name on PAN card and Upwork account?

Thank you,

I am having the same problem, Correct Incorporated Company GST numbers rejected by upwork system and no abilty to make any changes.

Upwork is charing us a whopping 20% tax for reasons unknown and unexplained.

Hi Alessandra,

As a freelancer, you’ll pay a sliding fee based on your total lifetime billings with a client. Because we want to give you the flexibility to change contract types as you work together, we count all your contracts with a client –– whether hourly, fixed-price, or a Project Catalog project.

Here’s how it works:

• $0-$500 in earnings from a client: 20% service fee applied to earnings
• $500.01-$10,000 in earnings from a client: 10% service fee
• $10,000.01 or more in earnings from a client: 5% service fee

You get more information about service fees in this help article.

Regarding your GST number not being verified, one of our team members will reach out to you via a support ticket with updates and assistance. Feel free to check here or your email to check on that ticket.

Hi Jon,

It looks like the Legal Tax payer name does not match your registered name on Upwork. Could you please try adding your Tax ID again using a name that matches your name on PAN card and Upwork account?

Hi,

I'm a Canadian client and have been trying to verify my GST number, but despite countless attempts,  GST/HST Number could not be verified. Please remove and re-add your number to update.

Would appreciate someone from upwork support to figure this out.

Hi,
I am also facing the same problem of GST number being rejected. I will appreciate if one of the mods kindly help me out.

I'm facing this same issue here in Canada - "We were unable to verify the tax ID number(s) you submitted."

It's especially surprising that this seems to be a known issue for a while now.
