Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

The depth and outcome of the audit depend on your situation. The questions below determine where we place the emphasis.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Is it a new or existing contract? For existing relationships, we also assess the actual execution, not just the text.
Do you work with a model agreement? We check whether the model agreement used is still appropriate and whether you are complying with it.
How many contractors are involved? For multiple similar clients, we advise on a uniform, sustainable approach.
What is the risk level of the position? Positions closely related to regular work require stricter control and wording.
Would you like only advice, or also customized text? You choose between a risk assessment or a revised, tailored agreement.
Clauses and provisions

Which components belong in checking DBA contracts under the DBA Act?

During an audit regarding the DBA Act, we assess the parts of your agreement that determine whether the employment relationship as a self-employed person holds up. The points below are almost always covered.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Qualification of the relationship Always Assessment of whether the agreements indicate a contract for services (Art. 7:400 BW) or an employment relationship (Art. 7:610 BW).
Authority relationship Always Verification of instructions, direction, and embedding within the organization that indicate employer authority.
Free replacement Always Assessment of whether the contractor is free to have someone replace him or must perform the work personally.
Entrepreneurial risk Always Assessment of whether the Contractor bears commercial risk, such as liability and own investments.
Remuneration and invoicing Always Verification of market-conform rates, invoicing, and the absence of continued payment of wages during illness or leave.
Duration and exclusivity If applicable Assessment of whether the collaboration effectively approximates a continuous employment relationship.
Model Agreement If used Comparison with an approved model agreement of the Tax and Customs Administration and the actual implementation.
Actual execution Always Determining whether practice corresponds to the written agreements, as practice is decisive.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

A verified contract only works if practice follows the agreements. Use the outcome as such.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
Before the start of the collaboration Have the contract checked and amended in advance Prevents an incorrect classification from only becoming apparent during an inspection.
In case of a change in tasks Assess whether the relationship still fits the assignment Changing tasks can unknowingly lead to employment.
During the performance Ensure that the practice follows the agreements The actual execution is decisive, not just the text.
Upon an announcement by the Tax and Customs Administration Collect contract and proof of performance You can then substantiate that independence is involved.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

We see these errors most often when setting up self-employed relationships. They increase the risk of bogus self-employment.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Relying solely on the contract text During an audit, practice counts, not the text Align agreements and implementation and document this.
Using an outdated model agreement The agreement no longer offers any security Review the model agreement periodically and adjust it.
Do not allow free substitution Strong indication of employment Include realistic replacement options or revise the relationship.
Exercise actual authority Indicates an employment contract (Art. 7:610 BW) Give instructions based on the result, not on the method of working.
Hiring the same freelancer exclusively for years The relationship is starting to resemble permanent employment Assess duration and exclusivity and scale down if necessary.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

Depending on your situation, the risks differ. If you recognize yourself in this, you know what to look out for.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Long-term freelance work A self-employed person has been working almost full-time for you for years Assess embedding, exclusivity, and authority.
Hiring via an intermediary You hire through an intermediary or platform Check who exercises actual authority and bears the risk.
Old contract without verification There is an outdated agreement Check text and execution against current standards.
The position looks like a permanent job The tasks correspond to the work of employees Pay close attention to replacement, risk, and independence.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

Sometimes a review of the contractual relationship is not sufficient, and a different document or process is appropriate. The situations below show you the way.

Situation Supplementary document Why
Situation Related document Explanation
The relationship turns out to be an employment relationship in fact Employment contract Then correctly record the relationship as an employment relationship.
You work structurally with another party Cooperation Agreement A separate agreement is appropriate for collaboration on an equal footing.
A dispute or payment arrears has arisen Debt collection Legal assistance is appropriate in the event of disputes or unpaid invoices.
Explanation of this document

DBA Act: Checking and Drafting Contracts, Why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what reviewing Wet DBA contracts entails, when you need them, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what you should look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a DBA scan and why is it more urgent than ever?
A DBA scan — also known as a bogus self-employment check or employment relationship test — is the legal assessment of an existing or intended contracting relationship with a self-employed professional, aimed at determining whether that relationship qualifies as an employment contract or a contract for services. As of January 1, 2025, the Tax and Customs Administration has definitively lifted the enforcement moratorium on the DBA Act and is actively enforcing it. This means that clients hiring self-employed professionals who effectively function as employees will face retroactive assessments of payroll taxes and employee insurance contributions — with retroactive effect of up to five years. A DBA scan provides you, as a client, with insight into the risks of your current self-employed hiring and the concrete steps to manage those risks. Our lawyers conduct a DBA scan on your self-employed hiring portfolio for clients: we assess the bogus self-employment risk for each contracting relationship, identify the red flags, and draw up an action plan with contractual and factual adjustments that minimize your risk.
Which factors determine whether a self-employed person qualifies as an employee?
When classifying an employment relationship, the Tax and Customs Administration and the courts consider the totality of circumstances—not merely the text of the contract. The Deliveroo criteria (2023) provide a structured assessment framework. Relevant factors include: the extent of personal work performance—is the self-employed professional allowed to be replaced, and does he or she actually do so in practice? The presence of authority—who determines how, when, and where the work is performed? Integration into the organization—does the self-employed professional function like a regular employee in terms of work planning, performance reviews, and teamwork? Entrepreneurial risk—does the self-employed professional bear their own professional and business risk? And market position—does the self-employed professional work for multiple clients? Our lawyers assess each of these factors for your specific client relationships and provide a clear risk classification per relationship.
What are the financial consequences of an incorrect classification?
The financial consequences of bogus self-employment for the client can be substantial. The Tax and Customs Administration can levy back taxes for up to five years on all self-employed professionals functioning as disguised employees. The backdated assessment includes wage tax, employee insurance contributions, and potentially a penalty for misconduct. Furthermore, the self-employed professional themselves—or after their departure—can claim continued payment of wages during illness, vacation days, a transition payment, and other employment law rights. The combination of a backdated assessment by the Tax and Customs Administration and an employment law claim by the self-employed professional themselves can multiply the total cost for the client compared to the originally paid hourly rate. Our lawyers calculate the risk exposure of your self-employed portfolio and advise you on the most efficient way to reduce it.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
Following an intake regarding your freelance hiring portfolio, our lawyers conduct a DBA scan of your client relationships. For each relationship, we assess the bogus self-employment risk based on the Deliveroo criteria, identify red flags, draw up a priority list, and advise you on contractual adjustments and factual changes that minimize your risk — ensuring you are compliant by January 1, 2025.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
