Employed Designers:
Employed Designers are those who work full-time 9-5 (Monday to Friday) for a Design Studio and produce solutions for clients are part of that Design Brand. e.g. If you worked for Portobella Rain all work you would do would be for clients associated with Portobella Rain and would thus belong to Portobella Rain's Portfolio.
Free-Lance Designers are those who might work for a studio during the day, but also in their spare time, produce work that they then sell to clients for a fixed rate as additional income. e.g You work for Portobella Rain, but when you get home, work on a web site that you are selling to a local plumber near you for some extra cash.
Self-Employed Designers are those who work full-time for themselves, they have so much work coming in that they do not need to work for anyone else and may be thinking of bringing more people to work for them.
How Does This Affect Taxes?
If you work and earn money, you must pay taxes. What type of employment you have will determine what type/ amount of tax you must pay. We pay taxes so that our streets are clean and tidy, we have a police force and we can have a decent education - all of our taxes go to paying this.
Now, dependent on what type of employment you are in, say self-employed or employed you have to give a certain amount of your earnings for taxation.
Diffrerent Rates:
Click Here to see the rates of taxation - As an earner you will be given a tax allowance. A tax allowance is an amount of earnings you can make BEFORE you have to pay tax.Once you earn more than that amount in a tax year, every month, you must give up a certain percentage of your wage for taxation. The link above will show you what the percentages are.
At the bottom of the web page you will see how your percentages change as you earn more.
So looking at this and understanding it, how will being a Free-Lance affect your rates of taxation? If you are Self-Employed and making lots of money, what tax rates will you have to pay?
How do these types of employment affect your day? Which would you say are more secure as forms of work? Which allow you to be most independent and free to do what you want, when you want?
