What is the difference between those freelance software engineers and the Uber drivers if they are freelancing for one company only?

As far as I know, and I am happy to be corrected by somebody more knowledgeable, the famous Dutch ZZP'ers are tolerated. There is in the Dutch Law not a clarification of their legal and tax position:

Both freelancing and ZZP don't have a legal definition. It's just a business. In these cases a business of one. Without being incorporated, so if you screw up, creditors can come after your personal bank account.

So there's nothing to "tolerate" but money. ;)
