You pay a monthly premium to an insurer. If you fall ill or become unable to work in any other way, the insurer will pay out an amount to you, ensuring you still have an income. There are two ways an AOV can pay out:      <\/span><\/p><ul><li><b>Periodic payout (e.g., monthly): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the most common method.

This choice makes a fiscal difference, which we will return to later.  <\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People in employment automatically have a right to benefits through their employer and the WIA (Wet werk en inkomen naar arbeidsvermogen). As a freelancer, you arrange this yourself via an AOV.

Therefore, it is smart to dive into the details now. This gives you long-term security as a freelancer, even if you become unable to work for an extended period. However, a broodfonds or personal savings can help bridge the waiting period. <\/span><\/p><p><b>What is a waiting period?<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waiting period (wachttijd) is how long you have to wait before your insurance payout starts. With the BAZ, this period is always two years. Suppose you become unable to work tomorrow; you will receive nothing for the first two years, while your fixed costs simply continue. You will have to bridge this waiting period yourself. With a private AOV, from Insify for example, you decide when the payout starts, allowing you to make the waiting period much shorter. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can read more about the differences between the mandatory AOV and a private AOV in chapter 4!<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><b>What is a broodfonds?<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you become a member of a broodfonds, you join a group of other freelancers. You all gift each other money if someone falls ill. However, there are a few limitations: the payouts stop after a few years and the financial pool is not infinite. Furthermore, in the plans for the mandatory AOV, a broodfonds does not count as proof that you are insured. You will eventually still have to take out an AOV. Because a broodfonds already pays out after one month, it can perfectly help to financially bridge the waiting period of your AOV. <\/span><\/p><p><b>Using savings<br \/><\/b>Saving money yourself is naturally also an option to bridge the waiting period, but it does not count as a replacement for the AOV.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-107496df e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"107496df\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc0c9a3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bc0c9a3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3640bfbe elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3640bfbe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>3<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e3337fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2e3337fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"de-verplichte-aov-baz-wat-is-de-stand-van-zaken\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The mandatory AOV (BAZ): what is the current state of affairs?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69871de1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"69871de1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In March 2026, the legislative proposal for the <b>Basic Insurance for Self-Employed Persons (BAZ)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was submitted to the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer). The bill still needs to be approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate (Eerste Kamer), but due to agreements with the EU, this must happen before August 31, 2026. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mandatory AOV applies to all entrepreneurs who pay income tax (and do not have an additional job in employment) and will likely take effect in 2030. That seems far away, but as an entrepreneur, you might not want to wait until then. This is because of the reference date (peildatum). This is the date on which the government checks if you already have a private AOV, meaning you do not have to switch to the public scheme.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: the reference date will likely fall in 2026. If you want to determine what your AOV looks like yourself, you must arrange a private AOV before this date that is at least equivalent to the mandatory government variant.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you unable to get a private AOV, for instance due to existing health reasons? Then the BAZ is actually a solution. Because the government wants all working people in the Netherlands to have a basic safety net, the BAZ has a mandatory acceptance policy: there is no medical check, and no exclusions based on age or profession.  <\/span><\/p><p><b>These are the most important points of the legislative proposal for the BAZ:<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc227e7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"dc227e7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce4bb9b elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"ce4bb9b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-check-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M504 256c0 136.967-111.033 248-248 248S8 392.967 8 256 119.033 8 256 8s248 111.033 248 248zM227.314 387.314l184-184c6.248-6.248 6.248-16.379 0-22.627l-22.627-22.627c-6.248-6.249-16.379-6.249-22.628 0L216 308.118l-70.059-70.059c-6.248-6.248-16.379-6.248-22.628 0l-22.627 22.627c-6.248 6.248-6.248 16.379 0 22.627l104 104c6.249 6.249 16.379 6.249 22.628.001z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><b>Who is covered:<\/b> all entrepreneurs who file their income tax return as an entrepreneur and do not have an additional job in employment.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-check-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M504 256c0 136.967-111.033 248-248 248S8 392.967 8 256 119.033 8 256 8s248 111.033 248 248zM227.314 387.314l184-184c6.248-6.248 6.248-16.379 0-22.627l-22.627-22.627c-6.248-6.249-16.379-6.249-22.628 0L216 308.118l-70.059-70.059c-6.248-6.248-16.379-6.248-22.628 0l-22.627 22.627c-6.248 6.248-6.248 16.379 0 22.627l104 104c6.249 6.249 16.379 6.249 22.628.001z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><b>Waiting period:<\/b> two years.

This deducted payroll tax will be offset against your final income tax assessment. <\/span><\/p><p><b>AOV with a lump-sum payout<br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the opposite applies: the premium is not tax-deductible.

(arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering \u2013 AOV). This carries a significant risk. If you become unable to work due to illness, there is no employer to keep paying your salary and no collective WIA safety net. This means you will have no income. To reduce this financial risk for self-employed professionals, a legislative proposal for a mandatory AOV has been submitted.

Even if you\u2019re registered with the Chamber of Commerce and pay VAT every quarter, you might still only need to file a personal income tax return at the end of the year. And it can also work the other way around: you earn money with your hobby, and you turn out to be an official entrepreneur. How do you know if you are an entrepreneur for the Tax Administration? It is important to know this because it determines what kind of tax return you file and what tax deductions you are entitled to.<\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost 80% of freelancers in the Netherlands do not have disability insurance (arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering \u2013 AOV).
