Construction description from our developer

Are there other options?

Yes, there are. The services that you declare as self-performed work with the builder can actually be carried out by yourselves or by another craftsman. That is a clean solution. Then, however, the cooperation between all craftsmen must be properly organized by you. If you fall behind with your "self-performed work," it can become a problem on the construction site. You also have a mix-up of warranties - everyone may blame someone else (e.g., tiles are poorly laid - you complain; tiler says it’s due to the bad screed; screed layer says the tiler worked carelessly).

Confused BU and GU? Or am I missing something here?

The email has been sent to the developer that the points will be changed

Thanks again for the feedback

Thanks for the detailed response, it confirmed my gut feeling. The contractor said it was normal... well, then he also doesn’t have the hassle on his hands...

Meinte BT BU was prescribed

You have a developer. House and land

If you want to save taxes, you buy a piece of land and build with a GC (general contractor)

Or as suggested by , remove services and do them yourself or subcontract with all risks, and the developer must agree to that

Thanks again for the feedback

Thanks for the detailed answer, it confirmed my gut feeling. The general contractor said that was normal... he doesn't have the trouble on his back anyway...

So if you are really self-employed, you should know how a tax office can "tick". If you both certify and build "turnkey", then it really constitutes tax evasion. No idea if a construction supervisor is also held liable. He can always argue that it was supposed to be done later. But he also binds himself to a written side agreement... so he's caught again :)

Notice anything?

And a reputable construction supervisor who has many contracts doesn't need this kind of game.

Maybe the BT simply reports it to the tax office regularly because he has to and he doesn't care at all what happens to you. He has no problem, but you have the trouble with the tax office if you make false statements. How much do you even save by doing this? Is the risk even worth it? Just assign the work to a third company. Then it is not a tied selling.
