Company, Sole Trader or Employee?
Although we can go into a great extent for all of them, this article focuses on the last part which is deciding whether to trade as a physical person or as a company. The answer to this choice is made easier by the introduction of the 35% personal taxation on salaried income exceeding the first Euro 60,000 taxable income.
