Well except you need to pay the contractor twice the money because now they need to spend time and a lot of money on experts to just file their taxes correctly.

Well except you need to pay the contractor twice the money because now they need to spend time and a lot of money on experts to just file their taxes correctly. This scales a lot better for employer/employees, not for any particular reason but that the system was "designed" for it if you can call it that.

- asah 8y agoit's not double, esp fully loaded incl benefits, payroll taxes, career development & performance mgmt, time off for vacation/illness/childcare, etc.
- everdev 8y agoFor contractors, taxes aren't too bad to do by yourself. Your income is sent to you on a 1099 and then deduct your expenses. The estimated taxes are silly though.
