Down with the Wmz!

You can on it bill on the Minimum Compensation for Self-Employed Persons Act and self-employed persons declaration respond through an internet consultation. This is my personal reaction as an independent entrepreneur:

As an entrepreneur you want to engage in business.

But this bill results in a shipload of administrative obligations, which will most likely be poorly or moderately controlled by the Tax Authorities. These obligations will soon apply to all entrepreneurs and clients, not just the high and low-paid.

This bill costs every entrepreneur a lot of time and therefore money. Under penalty of high fines.
How do you make the entrepreneurial Netherlands even more difficult? The Wmz.
And, moreover, entrepreneurial uncertainty? The Wmz.
You can only conclude that the people behind the Wmz just do not know what it is like to do business.

This bill aims painfully for its purpose.

Shade constructions at the top are thus legalized by the government. "Employees" with a minimum of 75 euros per hour are also exempted from payroll tax and premium payment.
The bill does nothing about sham constructions and also saddles the low-paid with a multitude of complex administrative obligations.

The Wmz also saddles the Tax Authorities with an impossible task. 

He or she must assess whether or not working people are entrepreneurs in order to qualify for fiscal entrepreneurial facilities.
Because of course we all make this paper shop for nothing. Or right?
How optimally is the Tax and Customs Administration currently running? Has the reorganization been completed successfully?
What is the position of senior staff after that generous departure arrangement?
What kind of impact will the allowance affair have?

And that is still separate from the problems with outdated systems.

The Court of Audit indicated on May 15, 2019 (See Court of Auditors news item 'Extra money is hard to roll') that the IT problems at the Tax Authorities will continue for at least 6 (SIX) years, due to the staff shortage. Last year that was no less than 12% of the total workforce: 3450 full-time vacancies. I hope that employees of the Tax Authorities will also respond to this internet consultation. You cannot conclude otherwise than that the people behind the Wmz simply did not think about implementation by the tax authorities.

The Wmz will make business more difficult and more uncertain.
The Wmz will hardly be able to be checked.
In short? The Wmz is a disaster that is about to happen.

Down with the Wmz!
