Are you a Freelancer or Private Individual?

A Freelancer is someone who has a business license and may have a VAT number or EIN for tax purposes. A VAT (Value Added Tax) number is a unique identifier assigned to registered businesses in many countries; an EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a similar identifier used in the US. A Private Individual does not have a business license. If you aren’t sure, you are probably a private individual.
