Definition of a Self-Employed Person
A Self-employed person is distinct from an employee in that he works for himself. He is not employed as part of the business of another, neither is his work integrated into the business of another, but is only accessory to it, or, it is done by him, on his own account. Generally, such a person controls the terms and conditions under which he works.
