Good afternoon!
I recently opened ZZP to work with my only client (employer) from Germany. Previously, she worked with him through a Russian individual entrepreneur.
In order for me to be considered an entrepreneur in the Netherlands and receive all tax credits, I must have at least 3 clients per year.
What are the requirements for these two additional clients, how much do they have to pay me for the year?
Can they have the same owner? For example, my employer has other companies (in Bulgaria, Germany) through which he can pay me a couple of times, but can there be any problems with the tax in this scheme?

Good afternoon.
Your statement about 3 clients is wrong.
There is indeed a (now defunct) law on the prevention of fictitious entrepreneurship, where one of the definitions of “self-employment” was the presence of several clients. This law has been under revision for several years; several versions have been released, but all have either been rejected or quickly repealed. Until a new version of the law is adopted, fines have been cancelled.
In addition, the law applies primarily to Dutch employers, so that where it is the employee-employer relationship, a person is taken for a salary, and not as an individual entrepreneur.
In your case, the customer is a foreign company, that is, registration for a salary is impossible and there is no underpayment to the IP budget. So don't worry and work calmly.
To receive benefits, other criteria are important - first of all, working hours. (Read here)
