Disadvantage of working as self-employed
Working as self-employed brings many benefits, challenges and administration. In an over-regulated country like the Netherlands, it takes a lot of time to keep your records up to date. The tax office wants to know everything, every driven mile, both business and private, every hour worked and of course all your income and expenses. When you are finally done with this wasted of time, you can pay more than half of your winnings.
At the moment, I am updating my administration. This keeps me from posting as much as I would like to post. But I'll be back soon. I have already taken a lot of photos for various subjects and Thursday I will leave for a seven day trip through Scandinavia.
So keep following me...
I know the pain of doing administration. I now have a cloud solution I use so for me that is a relieve. And I ket an administration office do the rest. Gives me more focus on my own business
The income tax and VAT I have outsourced. Billing, Kilometer registration, travel and accommodation costs and hours registration I do myself. It is a matter of consistency but when the weather is nice like last weeks it is really difficult to keep everything up to date. :)
Oh yeah the wheather does make it difficult. Af course you have to take each day as it comes for nice living
Very true but like anything in life it has its positives and negatives
