With this page we would like to inform you about the changes around false self-employment and the enforcement of the Wet DBA (Deregulering Beoordeling Arbeidsrelaties) that will come into effect on January 1, 2025. As of this date, the Tax Authorities will strictly control false self-employment to verify whether self-employed persons are rightfully working as a self-employed person and not in a (disguised) employment.
The Deregulation of Assessment of Labor Relations Act (DBA) is designed to combat false self-employment and provide clarity about the employment relationship between clients and self-employed workers. Sham self-employment occurs when someone officially works as a self-employed person, but actually functions as an employee in an employment relationship. This entails risks for both the client and the self-employed person.
Full enforcement by Jan. 1, 2025
From January 1, 2025, enforcement of the DBA Act by the tax authorities will be intensified. Organizations that hire zzp'ers for work that does not involve self-employment are at risk of fines, surcharges and tax corrections. During a transitional year, no penalty fines will be imposed, provided organizations demonstrate that they have taken steps to prevent false self-employment.
Criteria for assessing false self-employment
The Internal Revenue Service uses several criteria to determine whether a
employment relationship is employment. The main criteria are:
- Authority: Does the client have control over how the work is done?
- Embed: Is work an integral part of the organization?
- Independence: Does the freelancer work independently without direct management?
- At-risk: Does the self-employed bear their own economic risks and demonstrate entrepreneurship?
