self-employment must be simple, otherwise it discouraging people from doing it. If the legislation, law, requirements is complex and taxing, like running an ironman - it again can be discouraging.

Vraag2

Wat is volgens u een goede toetsbare invulling van de vijf criteria uit de zelfstandigentoets?
freelancers can easily find what they can, could and should do to build a succesful business adhering to current law and best practices instead of finding 5 different answers for the same questions. Simple things should made simple, if I'm a freelancer working from home I should have the ability to write off portion of my bills instead of having to rent an office or build one (within reason!), so as having my desk, office furniture. Add these
incapacity for work and retirement: should be looked at also retrospectively, if individual has worked many years as emplyed and built up significant reserves for incapacity and/or retirement there should be no force to disability insurance. Having one however should be positively taken into account, instead of not having one taken negatively.

Vraag3

Wat is volgens u een goede toetsbare invulling van de vier criteria uit de werkrelatietoets?
freelancer can choose the place of work and time too(remote, onsite, or even outside the country within legal limits from taxing point of view)
freelancer can chose the devices or tools they work with (except if regulations or security requires hardening)
freelancer can choose how many customers they have, and for how long: forcing 3 or more customers per year can be difficult in ICT, can lead to burnout or difficulties for finding customers for part-time. Many freelancers choose to work for 6 months and not for the next 6. Others have 1 long standing project with occasional presentations or workshops to deliver that isn't making the 30% currently required financial independence.
freelancer can benefit from being a freelancer, currently the government is squeezing the last lemon out of any possible benefits freelancers can enjoy. Forcefully converting to BV with added administrative burden and cost that is mostly unnecessary.

Vraag4

Acht u het noodzakelijk en/of wenselijk om een extra wetsartikel op te nemen voor het geval een zelfstandig werkende niet (volledig) voldoet aan de criteria in het nieuw voorgestelde lid 2 van BW 7:610?

Zo ja, hoe zou de vormgeving van een dergelijk derde lid er volgens u dan uit moeten zien?

Zo nee, moet in een dergelijke situatie dan holistisch gekeken worden naar de criteria uit het tweede lid of biedt het huidig wettelijk kader voldoende houvast voor een dergelijke situatie?
if someone is by choice freelancer, and not in a low income bracket should be either exempt by some of the enforcements, or have only warning if problems found.
example: anyone with turnaround of 100-150k or over

In addition to this zzp tax bracket should be moved back up to 300-400k as it was before, as it creates extra paperwork and difficulties that not many are willing or should take.

The amount of tax some already paying(100k+) should also justify the independent freelancers to be left alone and not being harrassed by government initiatives, constantly changing landscape and with that damaging the possibilities of finding projects.
The current show is costing too much already, many organizations to stop hiring freelancers and looking for them outside the country - because it's too hostile in NL!
