Debate has gone on in my life about working with a contract, becoming officially self-employed, or continuing to work for at least a portion of my pay *ahem* in an alternative market.
I went to talk to the gestor about what would be involved in being self-employed (which incidentally costs over 200€ a month and confers no benifits). Here's what I found out.
- It'll cost me 40€ just to talk to the lady about the process
- I will have to pay the monthly 200€ plus fee
- I will have to pay taxes four times a year, and pay the gestor to do this for me

And to think I was surprised to see so many ads for accountants and people who would do your taxes, in Canada. While I never saw any on French billboards. Strange world, eh? :D
Omgg spain is such a train wreck at times - eldest
ElP, that's cause we actually have to DO our taxes. I don't know about France, but here in Spain, if you aren't self-employed (read pay endlessly for no benefits), the gov't does the taxes for you, sends you the amount you owe, with little to no explanation, and you sign and pay. Yes taxes in Canada are harder to do, yes, we almost always fill them in wrong, but we look at how they work, it is transparent, and therefore we are sure it is honest. How do they do it in France?
Eldest....you ain't got the half of it sister. OMG
