MSP as an interim solution
The DBA Act has been causing confusion for years. Hiring external staff has become unclear, and the fear of false self-employment is growing. Many companies shun self-employed workers, while self-employed workers struggle with how to stay independent and work according to the rules. Fortunately, there is a solution that brings peace of mind to both parties: Managed service provision (MSP).
Find out how MSP helps you work smoothly and safely within the DBA Act.
What is MSP?
MSP takes the entire hiring process off your hands. Think recruitment, contract management, invoicing and compliance with rules such as the DBA Act. MSP gives you more control over your external hiring, market-compliant rates and a clear structure in contracts. So you can focus on what really matters: your own expertise.
How does MSP help clients with the DBA Act?
From 1 January 2025, the Tax Authorities will check whether employment relationships comply with the DBA Act. Both clients and freelancers will have to prove that there is no false self-employment. The rules are complex, but Hero makes it easy with MSP.
