I was told I would be charged sales tax on freelancer service fees, what are those?

In some cases, depending on your location, you may be charged sales tax on freelancer service fees. Freelancer service fees are the percentage (20%, 10% or 5%) you pay to us on your earnings. For example, say you earn $100 from a client and your freelancer service fee is 20%, meaning you’ll pay $20 as a freelancer service fee. The sales tax, which can vary based on your location, will be assessed only on that $20.

Important:

Please note that we may assess sales taxes on other fees and services, such as memberships or Connects purchases, depending on where you live.
