In the course of his career, the plant engineer will be a party to a contract. His employment is a contract between himself and his employer unless he is self-employed. What is a contract A contract is an agreement between at least two parties to a matter. The important aspect is that the agreement is to the same thing. This is known as consensus ad idem, and follows an offer, which is accepted. An invitation to bid is not an offer, the offer being made by the bidder in submitting his bid. English law says that certain essential elements need to be met before a contract can be enforceable, and these are ...

Being self-employed is sometimes terrifying. Like this winter, when I got really sick with an infection and it went on and on through November, December, January and February.

Setting up ones own retirement plan holds two advantages a deduction may be made against the current income, and the money appropriated under the plan remains tax-exempt for a specified period of time. Self-employed individuals may choose from two plans, an individual plan or the Keogh (HR-10) plan. Those not self-employed may only establish an individual-type retirement plan. These plans are governed by specific requirements for eligibility and certain restrictions applied when the plan is in effect. 

There are general requirements in establishing an individual retirement account. First you must be an employee or a self-employed individual who is not participating in a qualified pension, profit sharing, or stock bonus plan of an employer.

Once it has been established that you may set up an individual retirement account, you must consider the maximum amount of contributions which can be made under this type of plan. The contribution limitations are 1500 or 15% of your earned income, whichever is less. For these type of plans, earned income is defined as wages, salaries, professional fees, and self-employment income. It does not, however, include earnings from property, such as interest, dividends, or rents. These latter types of earnings are considered passive income and cannot be considered in calculating the amount of contribution which may be made.

You should be aware that if you are involved in two or more situations, you could be an employee in one and an independent contractor in another. As an employee, both social security tax and income tax are withheld from your salary. As an independent contractor, you must estimate your income tax and social security tax liability and pay it in advance quarterly installments. Therefore, until the end of the year the amount withheld on salary will generally exceed the amount paid in by the independent contractor, and based solely on the value of the use of money, an independent contractor theoretically saves the interest on this difference. Also, for 1976 the amount of social security withheld from your salary is 5.85% of the first 15,300, but the amount of social security tax an independent contractor must pay is 7.9% of the first 15,300 of self-employment income. This difference in percentages can result in a maximum of 313 savings for the employee over the independent contractor.

If you plan to earn income after retiring, you need to look carefully at the net effect of your earnings on your overall tax bill and plan your income to minimize any adverse effect. In addition to the graduated schedule of federal and state income taxes, consider the effect of earnings on Social Security benefits and the cost of self-employment tax. 

If you are self employed, you must also pay self-employment tax. This is the equivalent of F.I.C.A. withholding paid by you and your employer when you work for someone else. In 2005 this tax was calculated at 15.3 percent of net income up to 90,000 plus 2.9 percent of net income above that amount. When you calculate net profit, half of the tax is deducted as a business expense.
