Does UpWork Support VAT in the UK?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:38 am

UpWork is a great platform for freelancers and businesses to connect. But does UpWork support VAT in the UK?

The simple answer is no. UpWork is not registered for VAT in the UK, and so cannot charge VAT on services rendered through the platform.

PRO TIP: If you are a freelancer based in the UK, you should be aware that Upwork does not currently support Value Added Tax (VAT) in the UK. This means that you will be responsible for paying your own VAT on any earnings you receive through Upwork.

However, this doesn’t mean that you, as a freelancer or business, can’t register for VAT yourself and charge it on your invoices. If you’re registered for VAT in the UK, you can add your VAT number to your UpWork profile so that clients know they should add VAT to your invoices.

If you’re not registered for VAT, you can still include your VAT number on your invoices (if you have one from another country), but clients will not be able to add VAT.

In conclusion, UpWork does not support VAT in the UK, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t charge VAT if you’re registered for it. Just be sure to include your VAT number on your invoices so that clients know they should add VAT when they pay you.
