The Self Employment Contract is essential for businesses operating in Denmark that engage independent contractors or freelance professionals. This document is designed to comply with Danish legislation, including the Danish Contracts Act (Aftaleloven), tax regulations, and business laws. It's particularly important in establishing clear boundaries between employment and independent contractor relationships, helping avoid misclassification issues under Danish law. The contract includes comprehensive provisions for service delivery, payment terms, professional liability, and data protection under GDPR, while addressing specific Danish requirements for self-employed individuals (selvstændig erhvervsdrivende). It's suitable for various professional services and should be customized based on the specific nature of the business relationship and sector-specific requirements.
