As far as I understand the German system has lots of limitations on freelancing though, to protect the employees. For example, as a developer you can't freelance for one client only, as the client company could be in hook for employer payments. You need at least two customers.
Not a German national, so I'm happy to be corrected.
- woodpanel 8y agoNo, you're basically right. But it's more like a grey area: There are ways to circumvent this. But of course this introduces a lot of unfairness because rookies usually will be out of the know. Kind of reminiscent of a lot of tax-scandals that come along regularly: Usually nothing illegal but because of well meant intentions created a complicated system, gaming the system benefits only those that are able to do so.
