Upwork collects and remits taxes to governments as required by law, which means sending the money we collect from you to the tax authority of the government that requires the tax. Depending on your country, taxes on services may be called sales tax, value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), digital services tax (DST), sales and services tax (SST), indirect tax, consumption tax, or other names.
Some governments require us to ask you for tax-related information, such as a tax ID number, even when we are not collecting tax from you.
