I never was that good in geography. I can only think of the Netherlands or Belgium.

One fiscal year can be very short in the IT sector. In some cases, you need halve a year to get to know the complete topic.

According to the link I have given, at least in Germany the situation is now such, that even when you have more than one customer in a year, you can be accused to be "Scheinselbstaendig". The offices just search for evidence that you might be, but not for evidence that you are not. One such evidence for "Scheinselbstaendigkeit" can be for example small investment needs ... something you typically have in the IT sector as freelancer ...

It seems that the new law in preparation shall codify this practice.

But of course, when the situation is better e.g. in the Netherlands, it could be worthwhile to work there. But (since I already thought about that possibility) would it also be possible to do so without moving there and still earn the benefits?
