A model agreement provides a false sense of security.
The Tax and Customs Administration does not look at the paperwork but at how you actually work together — and has not approved new models since 2025. Practice must demonstrate independence.

Custom choices

Which choices determine your self-employed structure?

The right approach depends on how you collaborate. These questions determine the risk.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Do you manage the self-employed professional as staff? Too much control indicates an employment relationship and therefore bogus self-employment.
Is the self-employed person allowed to have someone replace them? Free substitution is an important characteristic of self-employment.
Does the self-employed professional work for more clients? Multiple clients strengthen the independent position.
Are you using an existing approved model? Check if it is still current and corresponds with practice.
Do you want certainty? Have the structure legally reviewed instead of relying on a generic model.
Clauses and provisions

What arrangements do you make regarding a model agreement?

These are the points that determine whether your collaboration with a self-employed professional holds up, with the legal focus.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Absence of authority Always The client does not direct like an employer; the self-employed professional determines the execution themselves.
Free replacement Always The self-employed professional may have themselves replaced (with authority); this indicates independence.
Entrepreneurial risk Always Setting your own rates, multiple clients, and personal liability strengthen entrepreneurship.
Connecting practice and paper Always The actual working method must correspond to the agreement.
Duration of existing models Sometimes Approved models remain valid until the end of 2029 at the latest, provided they are current.
Testing of the structure Recommended Let paper and practice be assessed together.
Applicable law Always Choose Dutch law and the competent court.
Use in practice

How do you handle a model agreement?

An agreement only works if the practice is correct. Please note the following.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
Prior Test paper and practice against the criteria for independence A model alone offers no certainty.
During the assignment Act effectively as client and contractor as well Practice carries the most weight.
With existing models Check the validity period and current status Outdated models offer no protection.
When in doubt Have the structure assessed Avoid additional tax assessments and fines.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes regarding model agreements

We see these errors most often, with major financial consequences.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Relying on paper False sense of security in enforcement Ensuring that the practice demonstrates independence.
Scheduling and managing freelancers Risk of employment Safeguarding genuine independence.
No free substitution Characteristic of bogus self-employment Include and apply substitution right.
Use outdated model No longer a valid basis Update construction and agreement.
A standard model instead of custom work Does not align with your situation A tailor-made contract for services.
Risk profile

What collaboration do you have and what do you pay attention to?

The emphasis varies depending on the situation. If you recognize your case, you know where the focus should lie.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Long-term employment of a self-employed professional Strong embedding Pay extra attention to authority, substitution, and multiple clients.
Short-term projects Temporary assignments Clear scope of work and a dedicated rate.
Hiring through an agency Triangular relationship Clear division of roles and liability.
Freelancer with a client Limited entrepreneurship High risk of requalification; work on genuine independence.
Additional documents

What do you need instead of a model agreement?

A general model offers no certainty. In these situations, you need a suitable document.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You want a basis compliant with the DBA Act Assignment Agreement Tailor-made, with no authority, free substitution, and entrepreneurial risk.
You want to explicitly assess against the DBA Act DBA Act-compliant contract for services Tailored to current enforcement.
You work structurally with a self-employed professional Self-employed agreement For clear, independent collaboration.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a model agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what model agreements are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a model agreement?

A model agreement is a sample agreement assessed by the Tax and Customs Administration used by the client and the self-employed professional to establish that there is no employment relationship. It is important to know that the Tax and Customs Administration has not approved new model agreements since 2025, and even an approved model only offers protection if you actually work together as self-employed professionals in practice.

Model Agreement and the DBA Act

Since January 1, 2025, the Tax and Customs Administration has once again fully enforced the rules against bogus self-employment. A written model agreement is therefore not sufficient: the decisive factor is how you actually work together — is there a hierarchical relationship, is the self-employed professional free to have someone else replace them, and do they bear entrepreneurial risk? If practice deviates from the model, it offers no certainty.

Existing model agreements: until when are they valid?

According to the Tax and Customs Administration, already approved model agreements may still be used until the end of 2029 at the latest, provided that the agreements remain current and practice corresponds with them. New models will no longer be submitted or approved.

Better than a standard agreement: a DBA-proof contract for services

What really matters is an agreement that makes sense and a working method that demonstrates independence. Our assignment agreement is tailored to this: no subordination, free substitution, and own entrepreneurial risk, aligned with your specific situation rather than a generic model.

Avoid additional tax assessments and fines

In the case of bogus self-employment, the client runs the risk of backdated payroll tax assessments and fines. A legal review of your structure—both on paper and in practice—prevents unpleasant surprises.

Have your structure tested or documented

Our legal experts assess whether your collaboration with freelancers complies with the DBA Act and draft a suitable agreement. Fixed price in advance and a free consultation.

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

Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods

Possibly outdated or incomplete

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.
