For drawing up an invoice, the tax authority has formulated invoice requirements. See the example on the website of the tax authorities.

24
What happens if the invoice is not correct?

If an invoice is not correct we will contact you. An incorrect invoice leads to a payment delay.

25
I have submitted an incorrect invoice. What should I do?

In that case we would like to receive a credit note or a debit note. This cancels the incorrect invoice in the accounts. Simply sending a new invoice with the correct amount is not sufficient, even for your own bookkeeping.

26
What does an hours proposal entail?

Some clients work strictly with their own time reporting. The hours that have been approved by the manager before the deadline are then passed on to us once a month or every 4 weeks. We expect an invoice from you that conforms to this timesheet.

27
When can I expect the hours proposal?

We indicate when we expect the proposal from the client and when this proposal will be forwarded to you. If you've forgotten, call the finance department: 030-6001500.

28
My hours do not match the proposed hours. What now?

The client's recorded hours take precedence in the preparation of the invoice. In this case, we do not work with an approved timesheet. We kindly ask you to verify the time registration in the event of a discrepancy in hours. If the hours have been processed correctly, the hours will be included with the next timesheet.

29
When will my invoice be paid?

In accordance with the agreement:

  • Within 3 werkdagen via High-speed pay faster.

  • Within 8 working days via Premium pay faster .

  • Within 30 to 45 days if the statutory payment term applies.

  • Within 5 working days after we have received payment from the client. The client's payment period starts after we have sent them an invoice. This usually happens within a few days after we have received your invoice.

We handle your data very carefully, in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act. Your data are processed in our computer system and used exclusively by our employees. We never provide your data to third parties without your consent.

Wet DBA

35
Does the WDBA also apply to me?

If you work as a self-employed person or hire self-employed people, the Law on Deregulation of the Assessment of Employment Relationships (WDBA) also applies to you. For the Tax Authorities it must be clear whether there is an employment relationship; the WDBA is intended to provide more clarity on that. From 1 mei 2016 it is no longer possible to apply for a new VAR and from 1 mei 2017 it is no longer possible to work with a VAR.

36
Is it mandatory to work with a model agreement?What happens to my personal data?

No, when it is clear that a self-employed person is an entrepreneur and therefore there is clearly no employment relationship, it is not necessary to use a model agreement. In case of doubt, it is advisable for the contractor and the client to determine which model agreement will be used. This way it is clear within which frameworks the work must be carried out in order not to be assessed as an employment relationship.

37
I work as a freelancer via Circle8, what changes for me?

In the transition period from 1 May 2016 to 1 January 2018, the intention is to work with a model agreement for each renewal. Circle8 currently still uses a temporarily approved model agreement, but will soon start using the model agreement of Bovib (Trade Associations for Intermediaries and Brokers). Circle8 Group is in discussions with clients about the WDBA and the inventory of all ongoing contracts. During 2017 it will become clear whether your services can be continued by means of a model agreement or whether we will speak with you about one of the alternatives.

38
Has the DBA Act been definitively implemented?

Yes, on 2 February 2016 the Senate adopted the proposal for the Deregulation Assessment of Employment Relationships Act (WDBA). On 1 May 2016 this law came into force and a transition period applies until 1 January 2018. However, politicians are now busy clarifying the WDBA, for example regarding the definitions of authority relationship and free substitution, to remove ambiguity and uncertainty in the market for hiring clients and self-employed persons.

39
What does the Tax and Customs Administration look at when assessing the employment relationship?

The Tax Authority has a ‘Guidance on the assessment framework for employment relationship agreements (DBA Guidance)’ released. The most important checks are on the following characteristics:

  1. Is there a relationship of authority to the client and

  2. Is there a personal obligation to perform work (aspect of free substitution)
