You can’t deny that the labour market is becoming more and more impossible, it is getting harder and harder to find a competent worker. That’s why many employers decide to hire self employed but they have to be very careful not to be considered as a false self-employed. See in this post the differences between a false self-employed and a trade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You want to hire the services of a freelancer and they tell you that they are a TRADE because most of their income comes from a single payer. Remember the most relevant characteristics of this figure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t

Trade has only one payer<\/h3>

Remember that for a self-employed worker to be considered a TRADE (economically dependent self-employed worker), at least 75% of their income must come from a single payer.<\/p>

For the calculation of the 75%, all the income received from the main client or from others is taken into account, whether it comes from work (in cash or in kind) or from economic or professional activities.<\/p>

Example of Trade<\/h3>


The self-employed person earns 34,000 euros per year for the work he does for you, 2,000 euros for his projects as a freelancer for other clients, 8,000 euros for work as an employee and 6,000 euros from the rent of a flat he owns.<\/p>

Therefore, the total income that counts towards determining whether you are a TRADE is 44,000 euros (the income from your work as a self-employed person and the income you receive as an employee, i.e. not including rental income).<\/p>

As 75% of this 44,000 is 33,000 euros and you pay him 34,000 euros, this self-employed person will be considered as a TRADE with respect to your company.<\/p>
