When, as an artist, you are performing a commission for a compensation, in the eyes of the social security
you are in principle an employed worker.
In order to rebut this presumption, you must be able
to demonstrate that between yourself and your principal there does not exist a dependency relationship
of a socio-economic nature as normally exists between employee and employer.
In order to prove this, you need to simultaneously demonstrate several elements:
- the investments you made and/or will be making in the future
- the business risk you have shouldered and/or will shoulder
- the ratio between your gross and net income
- the manner in which you go public
Attention! A registration with a social insurance fund, or a commercial
register number or a VAT number cannot by themselves serve as proof of your self-employed status.
You can also:
- take prior contact with a social insurance fund
This fund will check out your actual situation. You may possibly register at that same time. In any event,
the NISSE must later on confirm this temporary registration.
- ask for direct advice from the Commission of Artists
In addition, this Commission can give you an extra guarantee for your self-employed
status via the certificate of self-employed status.
