The Dutch Tax Authority announced it will not impose fines next year for violations related to the self-employed law (zzp-wet). This decision follows a motion aimed at easing the impact on the labor market. While no fines will be issued, employers may face retroactive tax payments if they misclassify employees. Increased checks will begin in January 2025, focusing on high-risk groups. The handling of this law has been contentious, with many feeling the regulations are unclear, particularly in distinguishing between self-employed individuals and disguised workers.
