Waarom verantwoorden

As a member of ZWiZ, you are a true independent entrepreneur! That means freedom and autonomy — but also responsibility. To be recognized by the Tax Authority as a genuine entrepreneur (and not as a false self-employed worker), it’s important to demonstrate how you work — every single day.

That’s why, through Voca, you provide a brief daily accountability log of your work activities. This is not only important for you but also for the client who hires you. Together, with the help of the Voca platform, you demonstrate that the collaboration reflects genuine entrepreneurship.

Using its AI application, the Voca platform instantly connects your daily input with all relevant case law and translates this into a holistic compliance score — giving both you and your client real-time insight into the degree of compliance.

• Autonomy in practice: Did you decide for yourself how to approach your work today, or was everything strictly written out?
• Freedom in scheduling: Did you work on a day you chose yourself? Was the timing agreed upon in consultation?
• Negotiation and discussion: Was there room to discuss your involvement, rate, or tasks?
• Independent behavior: Did you supervise colleagues, or are you allowed to arrange a substitute if necessary?
• Commercial risk: Do you still get paid in case of illness or unforeseen circumstances?

Don’t just prove after the fact that you’re an entrepreneur —show it every day and act accordingly!

Here are a few tips:

• Plan your own working days — and stick to them. Make your Voca calendar leading.
• Arrange cover within ZWiZ in advance for emergencies, and record that in your report.
• Keep discussing your rate and scope of work, and document it on the Voca platform.
• Watch out for instructions that resemble an employment relationship — address this.
• Use the report as a diary and accountability log of your entrepreneurship.
