With the advent of the new normal, where systems and the way of working are constantly changing, most individuals are opting for self-employment so as to service a larger number of clientele as well as pay lesser tax.
This is particularly for services such as graphic designing, Information and Technology (IT), bookkeeping and accounting, only to mention a few.
