Unable to verify your Tax ID number on Upwork

Please check my Legal Taxpayer Name. Now I verified the legal name and PAN number. Please check and approve.

Hi Abdul, 

 

The TAX ID (PAN) status is under "Pending Verification" until we have a manual verification for PAN. Once you enter a PAN number, you will automatically get a reduced withholding tax of 1% regardless of the PAN "Pending Verification" status. There is no further action needed on your end.

Hi,

I don't know the issue but I am not able to verify my PAN card number. It always shows me https://prnt.sc/IXaMaXGNOK3t this message. I tried to update it lots of times by removing and adding again and also checking the PAN number and the name similar to the PAN card and my Upwork profile name but it's unverified every time.

 

I tried lots to connect with support but I failed. Please can help me with this issue.

 

Thanks

I also have this issue. I have re-submitted my PAN multiple times. I think the problem is my PAN name is XXXXXXX X. The last name has only one word.

Hi, 

 

The wrong TDS is about to charged for my transaction and I like to update it before the transaction happens

Hi Brijesh,

 

It looks like you were able to add your PAN. Once you enter a PAN number, you will automatically get a reduced withholding tax of 1% regardless of the PAN "Pending Verification" status. There is no further action needed on your end.

Hi Gopi, My legal business name is too long for the "business name" box and so my tax number is not being verified.  How do I solve this?

Hi Nirmala,

 

Thanks for reaching out. If you've managed to add either your PAN or Aadhaar number successfully, i.e. it was accepted and you didn't get an error message, you're good to go! No further action on the Upwork platform is necessary.

 

Thank you,

Hey there, 
I am a freelancer based in India, Acc to the rules, upwork needs to pay 5% TDS if the freelancer has not added a PAN ID, but only 1% if the freelancer has added PAN.

I added my PAN ID, which has also been verified, yet 5% withholding tax was deducted. Can anyone look into this?

Hey, 

 

For some reason, in my Tax Information section, I see PAN pending verification for the past 3 days. 

 

I have already added the pan cart details when I created the account but for some reason, pan card verification is still showing me pending then 3 days back I updated the pan card again but it is still showing pending.

 

I check from this link 

https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044709894-Indian-Tax-Deducted-at-Source-TDS-or-Withh...

if I did not provide a pan cart withholding tax will be 5%.

 

withholding tax is deducted from my account again and again.  

 

I would greatly appreciate any help or advice.

 

Thank you.

Zeeshan

Hi Abbas,

 

I have checked your account and it looks like your PAN is currently on a pending verification status. Please note that we cannot directly verify your tax information. Once you add the information to your Upwork account, we submit it to the Indian Tax authorities for verification. If you added your PAN number, it was accepted, and you didn't get an error message, you're all set. There is no further action needed on your end.

Thanks for the reply Arjay, I have seen this script before on other threads also but nowhere is mentioned how much time it exactly takes to get verified?

 

Some of them have been waiting for months as pending verification. Does that mean I'll end up paying 5% TDS for the rest of this life and 1% is just smoke and mirrors?

Hi Abbas,

 

Please note that you already get the reduced withholding tax of 1% regardless of the PAN "Pending Verification" status.

yes i am also faceing the same issue

Hi
I am having the same issue. Can someone help to know how my PAN number will be verified on Upwork?

Hi Urwashi,

 

Thank you for your message. I checked and I see that you have not filled the Legal Taxpayer Name section. Could you please delete the PAN details and try entering the PAN number again along with the Legal Taxpayer Name that matches the name on the PAN card and Upwork account?

 

Thank you,

I have submitted the PAN Card twice with proper details. But it's not verified from last two months. It's causing extra deduction from my Available Money. What could be the reason for the PAN Card not getting verified as I have filled every detail with precision.

Hi Neetu,

 

I have checked your account and it looks like your PAN is currently on a pending verification status. Please note that we cannot directly verify your tax information. Once you add the information to your Upwork account, we submit it to the Indian Tax authorities for verification.
