The Driver as an Independent Contractor Sample Clauses

The Driver as an Independent Contractor. In May 2016 a new Dutch Act came into effect: the Assessment of Employment Relationships (Deregulation) Act (In Dutch: Wet DBA). This Act determines whether the contract that has been concluded between the contracting parties should be qualified as an employment contract or an employment relationship, and thus if there is an obligation to deduct payroll taxes. The Trustee has to assess whether the execution of the assignment (driving a predetermined tour and delivering parcels) can be seen as an employment service or not. This assessment can be done by answering the following set of questions, as published on the website of the Dutch Tax Authority:  Does the self-employed person have the obligation to fulfill the job personally?  Is there an authority relationship between the Trustee and the self-employed?  Does the self-employed receive salary? In case of doubt concerning the qualification of the relationship between the Trustee and the Driver, the Trustee can use model agreements that have been made available by the Tax Authorities. However, when the outcome of the questions state that the relationship between both parties resembles an employment contract, it is not possible for the Trustee to employ the Driver on a self-employed basis. If the Driver is employed on a self-employed basis by the Trustee and the Dutch Tax Authority considers that this qualification is incorrect, no penalties or additional charges shall be filed against the Trustee until 2020, due to the suspension of penalties, as the Assessment of Employment Relationships (Deregulation) Act generated a lot of imbalance amongst employers and independent contractors. The Dutch government is currently working on new legislation that presumably will enter into force on January 1, 2020. If the Trustee decides to enter into a relationship with a self-employed person, the Trustee is not obliged to insure the self-employed person for continued payment in case of illness, accrual of pension or the unemployment benefit, as these are responsibilities that belong to the independent contractor. The independent contractor can, however, voluntarily insure themselves. This could result in the independent contractor asking for a higher fee per hour due to his insurance costs.
