What you need to know about the changes coming
1.Introduction
Hello ZZP’er!
From next year, there will be a stricter look at how you work as a ZZP’er in security. From 1 January, the Tax Authorities will be checking more closely whether you are truly self-employed or should actually be seen as an employee. This may sound exciting, but at DES we see this as an opportunity to offer you more certainty and less hassle.
We understand that you may have questions, and that is why we are ready to help you with a safe and stable future. By becoming an employee at DES, you have everything well arranged and you can continue with what you are good at without any worries. Together we will build your future!
2. Why is the legislation changing?
The government wants to keep a closer eye on bogus self-employment, especially in sectors such as security, where ZZP’ers often work under strict instructions from clients. The Tax Authorities want to ensure that everyone who actually works as an employee is also treated as an employee and receives the associated protection.
At DES, we understand that this legislation may mean change, but we also see this as an opportunity to offer you more certainty and protection. If you are no longer considered self-employed as a self-employed person in security, DES is ready to offer you a stable and safe working environment as an employee. Together we ensure your future!
3. Consequences for self-employed persons in security
The stricter enforcement of the DBA Act may have a significant impact on self-employed persons in security. The Tax Authorities will check more closely whether you are really self-employed or whether you should actually be seen as an employee. This may lead to changes in your classification, with possible consequences for payroll taxes and fines, both for you and for your client.
Many large clients may be less inclined to hire self-employed persons as a result of these changes, which may cause uncertainty among self-employed security guards.
3. Solutions: From Self-Employed to Employee
Don’t worry, this doesn’t have to mean the end of your career! In fact, it can open new doors for you. We want to show you that being an employee is full of opportunities. As an employee, you are assured of a stable income and you get access to all kinds of benefits that you might miss as a self-employed person.
At DES, for example, you can grow within the company, to management positions or specialized roles within security. This offers you the opportunity to further develop your career and take on new challenges. In addition, you get access to extra benefits such as pension accrual and paid sick leave. This means you no longer have to worry about your financial future or what happens if you are ill.
In short, being an employee can offer you more security and opportunities, so that you can continue to do what you are good at without worries and with new perspectives: ensuring safety.
