Well, two weeks after my contract finished and struggling to find worthwhile opportunities in Waikato I dropped a speculative email to my last boss.

He got back to me offering me a new contract starting today.

Cool. It's a slightly different type of work than I've done before, but it's a good opportunity to expand the skills on my CV, and a direction I was looking to move my career into, so all good.

It's only a one month contract but I know he has lots of other opportunities he is chasing to bring in more work and he seems to like what I have to offer and is keen to secure my services, which is great for me.

So, fingers cossed it turns into something a little more long-term, but it's good cash coming through in the meantime.

This time I'm working on a self-employed basis, so I'll need to understand all the weird and wonderful tax rules over here, so that'll be fun.

Best of luck, hope it turns into a real winner for you :clap

Good news, best of luck! Keeping fingers crossed for you that it turns into something more long-term and equally that you can figure out the weird world of self-employment tax returns! :)

It's not too complicated and quite self-explanatory. You can claim for a miriad of things though, so it's worth getting some professional advice. My accountant has saved me loads of money in the last couple of years by finding things I can claim for that I never knew about.

I would get an accountant, there is all manner of stuff you can offset and get tax benefits for from what I hear...

Good luck.
