Obrtnici, poljoprivrednici te ostala slobodna zanimanja su djelatnosti koje su zbog financijske situacije u sve većem padu. Visina poreznog opterećenja obrtnika često se ističe kao prepreka razvoju obrtništva i povezuje s potencijalnim širenjem sive zone poslovanja. Iz tog razloga država često mijenja zakone i daje razne olakšice, potpore, te postoje razna financiranja iz EU fondova. Među porezima i doprinosima za obvezna osiguranja što su ih obveznici, poljoprivrednici i ostala slobodna zanimanja dužni plaćati su porez na dohodak, prirez porezu na dohodak, porez na dobit, porez na dodanu vrijednost (PDV), plaćanje poreza po odbitku, te ostali porezi i doprinosi za obvezna osiguranja. Poduzetnik početnik radi ostvarivanja dobiti ili dohotka u sklopu financijskog plana zasigurno treba obuhvatiti i porezno planiranje. Poznavanje poreznog sustava Republike Hrvatske važno je za sve samostalne djelatnosti.
