What Even Is Contracting?

Over the years, the need for contractors has grown exponentially.

 

Below are some of the factors that come with contracting:

  • Have flexibility on what work you do
  • Are self-employed (you’re your own boss!)
  • Work on contracts varying in length
  • Are responsible for paying your own Income Tax, ACC levies and filing GST returns
  • Are paid on an hourly or daily rate
