Becoming self-employed<\/h2>\n

\nIn Ireland,\u00a014.75% of the workforce is self-employed<\/strong>. But what does this mean?<\/p>\n

Well, when you become self-employed, you conduct your own business rather than work for an employer.<\/p>\n

In truth, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages to working for yourself. For example, when you are self-employed you are in complete control of what you do, as well as where and when you want to do it. In other words, you organise your own business type, working hours and location.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, many self-employed people work very long hours and do not have a regular source of income.<\/p>\n

You will also have to handle your own tax affairs – through the\u00a0self-assessment tax system<\/strong>. Through the following chapters, this no-nonsense guide will outline everything you need to know about tax for the self-employed.<\/p>\n
