Contract Takeover
Has an IT freelancer been working with you too long? Maedium becomes the new client via a placement agreement — keeping you DBA-compliant without ending the collaboration.
A freelancer working long-term with the same client can create a false self-employment risk. The Dutch tax authority looks at the actual situation — not just the contract. If that situation resembles permanent employment, it can lead to additional assessments and penalties.
How does it work?
Maedium becomes the new client of the freelancer. A new placement agreement is drawn up with Maedium acting as intermediary between you and the freelancer. The collaboration continues as normal — but now through a DBA-compliant structure.
For the client
You keep the specialist you know and trust. The compliance risk disappears. Maedium handles the contractual basis, so you can focus on what truly matters: your project.
For the freelancer
You keep your assignment and your independence. The structure through Maedium gives both you and the client certainty — without interrupting the collaboration.
