Contractor money starter pack

If a programme pays you as an independent contractor, these pages collect what the tax authority in your country says about registering, forms, deadlines and invoices. Each line links the official page it comes from and the day we read it.

Check with a tax adviser. This page is general information from official pages, not tax or legal advice, and it can't tell you what applies to your situation.
