[What the new fees in terms of TDS for Indian usere]

TDS stands for tax deducted at source. … The company or person that makes the payment after deducting TDS is called a deductor and the company or person receiving the payment is called the deductee. It is the deductor’s responsibility to deduct TDS before making the payment and deposit the same with the government.

Section 194O-TDS on Payments Made to e-Commerce Participants

E-commerce operator is not required to deduct TDS if the gross amount of sale of goods, services, or both during the previous year does not exceed Rs 5 lakh and if the e-Commerce participant has furnished his PAN or Aadhaar.

If the e-Commerce participant does not furnish his PAN or Aadhaar, TDS must be deducted at the rate of 5%, as per provisions of Section 206AA.

So please add your PAN details as soon as possible to your accounts, to avoid a 5% deduction.

So, we as freelancers now have to add PAN details also…

So my question is where is the PAN detail required…Is it required on the freelancing sites like Fiverr or upwork wherever a freelancer is working or is it required on the payment providers gateway like PayPal or Payoneer whichever a freelancer is using…

And second question is does the tax applicable only when a freelancer earns a total of 5 lacs or more in a year or is it something else…

Lastly i think all of the freelancers have already added their PAN info in the payment gateway which ever they are using, cuz without adding that no payment gateway be PayPal or payoneer, no one will deposit the amount in our bank… So in my view this TDS is not applicable for freelancers like us…

Do let me know your opinion about this…

[Report Customer Support]

Now i know why customer support is taking so much of time to reply to other genuine issues…

Once the customer support has given a verdict, how on earth do you think that its gonna change. Creating more and more tickets doesn’t resolves your issue, instead you will put a bad impression of yourself in front of the customer support members.

And regarding that Drew issue, its actually an automated response its not a manual response if your ticket is being closed you can again reply to that ticket itself and keep it open,creating a new one won’t solve your issue.

Also you need to be polite and professional when addressing an issue with the customer support, they are also person and human like us, if you faced a bad experience with one of your buyers they ain’t responsible for it…

I hope you understand this and please don’t send another ticket and bother them unnecessarily instead reply to one of those tickets and please try to be more polite and explain them the things that happened…

THANK YOU

[How long to get back to 5.0 star rating?]

For a rough calculation, based just on the current rating count (14) and current avg. rating (4.9)

and assuming the total rating value is about 68.6 (14*4.9):

With 14 additional 5 star ratings, avg rating would be 4.95 which, rounded to 1 decimal place is 5 stars (depending how it’s rounded). Or around 15 additional 5 star ratings should be enough (if they wouldn’t round 4.95 to 5).

For more accuracy you could calculate the full total rating value (totalling the exact rating given by each buyer) and find the average with different numbers of additional 5 star ratings.

Woaahh you have some great maths skills TBH 😆
