The Independent Contractor Relationship
As an Independent Travel Agent, your relationship with the Host Agency will be that of an Independent Contractor. Independent Contractors are not employees. The Host Agency is responsible to pay your your travel commission earnings, but you as the home based travel agent are responsible for your own accounting, business fees, licenses and most importantly personal taxes.
