What is Freelancer?

A freelancer is a self-employed person who works for several clients on a project or hourly basis instead of as an employee of one company.

Freelancers set their own rates and hours, and look after their own taxes (see Section 44ADA (presumptive taxation for professionals), TDS (tax deducted at source) and GST (goods and services tax)).

On CareerByteCode freelancer is one of the roles you can take on the same account: take paid gigs on ByteGigs, sell sessions from your ByteStore, and earn on referrals. Work out a fair rate with the freelance hourly rate calculator.
