Self -Employed and politics: reducing regulatory burdens

The government has made a plan to reduce the regulatory burden on ZZP-ers (self-employed). The savings amount to 38 Euros per self-employed, when the plans are adopted. The most feasible plans are the simplification of the VAR (Verklaring arbeids relatie) by digitalizing the application and removal of the registration fee for the Chamber of Commerce.Furthermore there is reflection on whether it is possible to adopt different tax rates (income tax) regarding entrepreneurs and to abolish the hour criterion for the 'zelfstandigeaftrek' and the 'startersaftrek'

Unambiguous definition for the ZZP-er
According the plan, it's also important to qualify the term ZZP by using a clear definition. Now ZZP is not a legal term, however it is used an interpreted differently by different organisations and institutions. A clear definition is expected end of this year.
