Recruiting or employing staff involves many obligations. You have to set up a payroll administration, check employees' identities, record data, deduct income tax and pay contributions. These rules may also apply if your employees are working outside the Netherlands.

If you hire staff or outsource work, you have to deal with various laws. For example, the Dutch act on chain and hiring liabilities (Wet keten- en inlenersaansprakelijkheid (WKA)) and the Labour Market Fraud (Bogus Schemes) Act (Wet aanpak schijnconstructies (WAS. It is sensible to always check whether the relevant personnel are not employed elsewhere, whether personnel are receiving sufficient pay and whether the correct taxes and contributions have been paid. Are you aware of the risks of additional tax assessments, liability claims or fines?
