The Self Employment Letter is commonly used in Belgium when engaging independent contractors or freelancers for professional services. It serves as a formal documentation of the business relationship while ensuring compliance with Belgian labor, tax, and social security regulations. This document is particularly important in the Belgian context due to strict regulations regarding worker classification and the prevention of false self-employment. The letter typically includes provisions that demonstrate the contractor's independence, such as control over work methods, ability to work for multiple clients, and responsibility for own business expenses. It's essential for both parties as it helps establish clear boundaries between employment and independent contractor relationships, reducing legal risks and ensuring proper classification under Belgian law.
