Flexi-jobs: since 1 July 2026 in almost every sector

Already working at least 4/5? You can now earn extra income tax-free in many more sectors.

Up to date as of 5 October 2026

Already working at least 4/5 for an employer and want to earn a bit more? Since 1 July 2026 you can do so through a flexi-job in almost every sector, private and public. Before, this was mainly possible in hospitality and retail.

What is the benefit?

You pay no tax on your flexi-wage up to €18,440 a year (2026 amount). For pensioners there is no limit.

Who can do a flexi-job?

You worked at least 4/5 for another employer in the quarter three quarters before your flexi-job, or
you are retired.

What should you watch out for?

No flexi-job with your own employer, nor while you are serving notice there.
Recently went from full-time to 4/5? A waiting period applies first.
Some sectors can still say “no”. Artistic work remains excluded.
In construction extra conditions apply, such as safety training.

How do we help?

We check whether you qualify, whether your flexi income stays under the limit and whether your tax return is correct.
