The 2027 figures are the Belastingplan 2027 proposal until Parliament votes; the €900 self-employed deduction is already law. "From 2030" uses the 2027 rates as a stand-in and the BAZ as proposed (about 5.4% of profit, at most about €171 a month, deductible, start expected no earlier than 2030). Single freelancer below state pension age, no other income, Zvw contribution included.
