India requires Upwork to collect goods and services tax (GST) and remit it to India’s government if we do not have a valid Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) on file for your company. GST is a tax on goods or services, including our services to your company.
Examples of services that GST applies to in India

When we charge tax, it’s because your government requires us to, which means this tax may change or apply to additional services in the future.
GSTIN
If you provide a valid GSTIN to Upwork, we will not have to collect this tax from you.
