After an eight-year hiatus, the Dutch Tax Authority will resume enforcement on the issue of false self-employment. This could have significant implications for organizations working with freelancers. Market experts, including professors, estimate that around 50% of all freelancers are actually misclassified as self-employed. Since the announcement of this enforcement, thousands of freelancers have relinquished their self-employed status.
What does this mean for your organization?
Employers using falsely classified freelancers may face claims for taxes, premiums, and other employee rights. This could lead to substantial financial burdens. For example, pension funds may retroactively collect premiums, potentially increasing costs for the sector by up to 1.5 billion euros.
