In Episode 8 of Season 2, not one, but two familiar voices join us at our desk: Sander and Dennis. You may have heard from them before, as Sander and Jasper recently recorded another podcast together, and Dennis is already a regular on the show.

Today on Clint Littler Explains, we investigate the pressing issue of the misqualification of self-employed workers and the current enforcement policies of the Dutch tax authority. These topics are undergoing significant developments, and it’s crucial to stay informed about the latest changes.

We’ll address the difference between contracting and employment, and discuss the risks and consequences of misclassifying employment in the.

Tune in as we provide an insightful overview of these important issues, offering practical advice and updates on what employers and self-employed individuals need to know to navigate these challenges effectively.
