So as far as I can figure out I can register as a freelancer
after starting working as one? Because for the two contracts/invoices/what not I'll need to work first... I'm really thinking about going for it, since I want to start working. Could someone please tell me how it works in real life, if I only have a tiny income at the beginning? Say in 2010 I earn like CHF 500. Should I go and register with that? Or I can do it next year when I earn more? Also, for such amounts (CHF 5000 - 10 000 a year) will I need to pay an accountant? Will my tax papers be a mess? You see I really want to work, I just don't know how to get started.

I might get more clients soon but I've never done any freelancing in my life.
Thanx loads!
