- antihero 4y agoHow do you trust the people you hire aren’t going to break the law and get you in jail? Isn’t what these people did?
- xorcist 4y agoThe same way as in every country. Professional certifications aren't just barriers of entry to a profession, they entail a particular responsibility. Otherwise you could just hire a fall guy to get away with fraud.
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoOkay so based on this thread we have poor immigrants being taken advantage of by shitty fraudster financial advice and the Dutch government in response takes away children and drives a few poor immigrants to suicide?? That seems so disproportionate?
- nibbleshifter 4y agoIf they fuck it up, the buck still stops with you. Many tax advisors also are dodgy as all fuck.
- radicalbyte 4y agoIt's not about me - I hired an accountant, notaris etc, the same way I was able to invest in learning the language quickly. And had everything they did double-checked. It's about the vast majority who aren't that lucky. Especially in the context: to own a house in NL most people need two salaries. Childcare was up until about 2010 easily accessible and affordable to everyone. That was all removed as a cost cutting measure, which is why we had stupid systems like this.
