Do I Need a VAT Number for UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:35 am

As a freelancer, you may be wondering if you need to get a VAT number for UpWork. In short, the answer is no – you do not need a VAT number to work on UpWork. This is because UpWork is an international platform and therefore not subject to VAT.

However, there are some exceptions to this rule.

If you are based in the European Union (EU), you may be required to provide your VAT number when setting up your account. This is because the EU has different rules regarding VAT and freelance services.

PRO TIP: If you are registered for VAT in your country, you will need to provide your VAT number when you sign up for Upwork.

If you are based in the EU and do not have a VAT number, you may still be able to work on UpWork but you may be charged a higher rate of VAT. For more information on this, please contact your local tax authority.

In conclusion, unless you are based in the EU and required to provide a VAT number, you will not need one to work on UpWork.
