The Dutch
postal delivery service, PostNL, has admitted that it had a secret deal with
the Dutch tax authorities from 2011 to 2013, which allowed the company to avoid
paying social security and pension premiums, as well as sick leave and holiday
pay. The employees were deemed
freelancers even though they only had one employer. The Volkskrant daily estimates that, in
this way, the company saved 15 million euros. The tax authorities refuse to
comment on these claims. Labor MP John
Kerstens has asked Junior Finance Minister Eric Wiebes to clarify the
situation.
