Flexible working, also called freelancing, can be done in two ways. Ultimately, you decide which way of working best suits your personal situation. We give you some additional information about both below.
📍Flexible working with Chamber of Commerce registration
Do you want to get started? Then you can register with the Chamber of Commerce. You will then receive a place in the trade register, a Chamber of Commerce number, VAT ID and a trade name. A Chamber of Commerce registration has the advantage that it is easier to insure yourself and take out a business account. Registering with the Chamber of Commerce costs 80,10 euros. To set up a sole proprietorship, follow the following steps.
1. Go to the Chamber of Commerce website and click on register.
2. Choose the legal form: sole proprietorship.
3. Follow the steps and pre-register.
4. Make an appointment at the branch of your choice or complete the registration online.
5. Complete the registration. You are now your own boss.
📍Flexible working with VAT ID
You can apply for a VAT ID from the Tax Authorities. You can submit the application by completing the document ' Starting Company Statement '. The application must be sent by post to the Tax Authorities. Within two weeks you will receive your VAT ID, a username and password by post from the Tax Authorities.
