Looking into becoming a freelancer? Then you've probably heard you need a VAT number first. Myth or fact? 🤔
Myth! Yet it's one of the most common misconceptions out there. Lots of people with a full-time job, recent graduates and retired experts would love to take on the odd project. But the thought of registering for VAT, hiring an accountant and paying social contributions for just a handful of invoices a year is enough to put them off.
There's an easier way. With Tentoo, you get the freedom of freelancing with the security of being employed. We become your legal employer through a temporary employment contract, and we handle all the admin, payroll and social security for you.
