Q: What does a Casting Agency Do?
  A: The purpose of a casting agency is bring together talent and production companies. To facilitate this, casting agencies develop a database containing files of individuals with a very wide range of talents, physical characteristics, features, and skills.
When a director or producer is interested in casting parts for an upcoming production, they can easily browse the files already collected by the casting agency instead of initiating their own time consuming recruitment efforts.

Q: I work for more that one client and do various jobs for each one. Do I have to ask for a VAR for each job and client?
  A: You don’t have to ask a VAR for each client.
You ask for a VAR for a specific type of work. If you do that specific work for more than one client under the same circumstances then you only have to ask for the VAR once.
Q: How long does it take to get a VAR from the Tax office?
  A: You will receive the VAR within 8 weeks. Under certain circumstances this can be extended by 5 weeks. If that is the case you will receive written notification. Sometimes the Tax office will ask you to supply more information.
Q: Who should get a VAR?
  A: The VAR is meant for freelancers who accept one-off assignments and one-person companies without personnel who make agreements about work that they will do for various clients. The VAR is not intended for contracted employees.
The VAR clarifies, for income tax purposes, the working relationship between a freelancer and their client.
In some cases it is difficult to assess whether the freelancer’s client should withhold income taxes and premiums. The VAR gives clarity if it states that the income is business profit or that the risks and responsibilities fall under a partnership.
