Could becoming a contractor help you earn more, gain flexibility and build towards financial independence? In this episode, Michael is joined by Sarah Flynn from Fenero to discuss contracting in Ireland and the reasons you might consider making the move from permanent employment.
They explore how tax works for contractors, the expenses you may be able to claim and why understanding the rules matters when working for yourself. Whether you’re considering your first contract or already self-employed, this conversation will help you think about the bigger financial picture.
They also discuss retirement planning and the tax reliefs that may be available to eligible business owners when selling or winding down their business. If early retirement is your goal, understanding these options and their qualifying conditions could be an important part of your plan.
