The debate about who is and is not self-employed continues to go in all directions
- The debate about when someone is or is not a self-employed person is far from settled.
- The Supreme Court's ruling in the Uber case and a private member's bill calling for a self-employed persons test have reignited the discussion.
- The rise of platform-based work makes things even more complicated than they already are.
Who is allowed to call themselves self-employed and who is not? It is still a grey area. The ink on the draft law clarifying the assessment of employment relationships and legal presumption (VBAR) had barely dried when the discussion flared up again due to the Uber ruling. As long as there is uncertainty, people will still take the plunge as a self-employed person.
