With the lifting of the enforcement moratorium on the DBA Act as of January 1, 2025, clients have become a lot more cautious about hiring self-employed workers. After all, if false self-employment is established, the Tax Office can impose additional taxes and correction obligations. But what if not the Tax Office, but the self-employed worker himself goes to court and questions the employment relationship? According to NRC, in half of the cases the self-employed person is vindicated, with far-reaching consequences for the client in question.

Sem Overduin and Oifik Youssefi of the public affairs team discuss further in this episode:
  • The Senate's consideration of the Workforce Authorization Act (WTTA).
  • The political agenda for the coming period.
  • A study on the impact of lifting the enforcement moratorium HeadFirst Group is working on.
  • And how the lifted moratorium can cause a "waterbed effect," according to labor lawyer Joost van Ladesteijn, with the WTTA suddenly popping up.
