Why is Interim Management so complex in the Netherlands?
Hiring interim professionals has become increasingly complex due to strict regulations from the Dutch Tax Authority under DBA legislation and the Balanced Labor Market Act (WAB). Companies and intermediaries now face significant risks including retroactive tax assessments, fines, and penalties if the collaboration is not structured correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about interim management and agency worker arrangements.
Interim management involves a self-employed professional who works on a specific assignment for a set period. The client pays an hourly or daily rate, and the interim manager handles their own taxes and insurances. Agency worker means the professional is employed by an agency (like Smelt) and temporarily placed with the client. The agency handles salary, taxes, and social premiums.
Interim management is suitable for short-term, specialized assignments where the professional works autonomously and is not integrated into the client's team. Agency worker is often the better choice for longer projects or when the professional needs to be integrated into the client's team. Detachment offers more security for both the client and the professional.
If you engage an interim professional when the assignment should be filled by an agency worker, you risk retroactive wage tax assessments and social premiums from the Tax Authority. Our Compliance Checker helps you avoid this risk.
