Pace Pros was started by a gentlemen that took a stand against the high commissions that recruiters take from highly paid contractors and Consultants. He wrote The Contract Employee's Handbook and The Contract Worker's Bill of Rights. Both of these books will help you in your contracting business to know what goes on behind the scenes at your average recruiting office and what you need to do to protect yourself.

For consultants, taxes are quite a bit more taxing, pardon the pun, than they might be for the average employee. It seems that the government wants to deter tax evasion within the ranks of IT contractors and consultant. Personally, I think they may be just a bit jealous of the freedom we have but, that is beside the point. Use these links to help you keep within the law and out of trouble. There are also a few links to sites that may be a bit of food for thought.

As an independent IT contractor, I need a lot of supporting sites and services to keep myself and business legal, informed and organized. In the pages linked here are the many resources I use to accomplish this.
