Werken via bemiddeling: wat het toelatingsstelsel (WTTA) betekent
# ZZP (Dutch self-employed)'er? Here's What You Need to Know About the New WTTA Rule
What's happening?
There's a new admission system for labour intermediaries in the Netherlands. In plain language: if someone arranges work for you through a company (instead of you finding clients directly), that company now needs official permission from the government to do this.
Why does this matter for you?
If you work through an intermediary company, you want to know they're legit. The new system checks that these companies follow the rules. This protects you. It means the company arranging your work has been vetted.
What should you do?
If an intermediary arranges your work, it's worth asking: "Are you registered under the new admission system?" A legitimate company should have no problem answering this. You can verify their status on the official government website.
The reassuring part
You don't have to do much. Just be aware it exists. If you're unsure whether a company is legit, you have a new tool: check if they're on the official list.
