Interesting, because we have something similar in Poland. I am currently self-employed because not only does it give me the freedom to just invoice companies regardless of where they're headquartered but also because I can choose to have a flat 19% income tax rate and a pretty low, decoupled from my income pension contribution. There's much more, but being self-employed is just this basic thing one usually starts with.
