Wie te veel verdient om energiepremie te krijgen, kan contract op naam van kind zetten: “Achterpoortje dat ethische vragen oproept”

1. How many people would’ve even figured this out without seeing a news article on it

2. best part is:
   to change the name on the contract you need to provide the rijksregisternumber.
   an employee of a company stated that due to privacy, etc. they are not allowed to verify age or even request to look at the id of the new name provided.
   but date of birth is part of the number.

   so I suspect it’s something like: everyone sees the number, knows the date of birth and age of the child. it’s only administrative red tape and a printout of the id that is preventing companies to block that person/change.

   Am curious however what happens when those people won’t be able to pay their bills anymore. with a contract on the name of their child. what happens.
   is that kid going to be in debt and as soon as he gets a summer job, first job needs to start paying back his debt + x fees for all the years he couldn’t?

4. Hmm, not a bad idea…

5. A minor having a legally binding contract.. should be impossible

6. mensen die meer verdienen dan die grens gaan niet de moeite doen voor dat peulschilletje, die frauderen wel op grotere schaal

7. If I had a kid I wouldn’t need to do that. I’m barely over the cutoff point.

8. Nog een manier om alleenstaanden te kloten. Stay classy Belgium.

9. 125k as a couple is quite high. I was at 68k pre-tax before I went independent which was in my case about 5500 gross salary.

10. Can you use this trick to get sociaal tarief?
