As of 1 January 2021, the free movement of services between the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) will no longer be possible. This means that businesses based in the UK can no longer carry out services in the Netherlands on the basis of EU law.
Consequences from 1 January 2021 for employers abroad based in the UK
The EU-UK trade deal contains limited arrangements to facilitate short-term business trips and temporary postings of highly-skilled workers.
You can also make use of the existing options under the Dutch legislation for posting of non-EU citizens.
Does the duty to notify still apply to businesses from the UK?
As the EU regulations no longer apply to the UK after the transition period, the duty to notify postings through the notification portal will cease to apply to businesses from the UK.
Consequences for employers abroad based in the EU, EEA and Switzerland
The duty to notify will remain unchanged for employers abroad from the EU, European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland who are carrying out temporary work in the Netherlands and bringing British workers with them.
Do I have to change my notification?
If the notification was made before the end of the transition period, it does not need to be changed after the transition period has come to an end due to the fact that the British have become third-country citizens. This change will be entered automatically in the notification portal.
