1. Tax Changes for Freelancers
Freelancing offers a great lifestyle, and has many advantages,
including tax breaks. Unfortunately, tax authorities are doing what
they can to limit these special benefits.
In the UK, for example, almost 100,000 freelance professionals
have been hit by red tape as the government tries to collect some
$300 million from this sector.
However, with careful planning, you can still enjoy significant tax
benefits. But make sure you have an advisor who can keep you
on the right side of the tax equation. ********************************************

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
