Generally if you are working in a country you should be taxed, and in particular this applies when are booked to a client in the Netherlands. If not you are running a risk, and the "herd" will not protect you, it will also be of no comfort when you are all caught together after an audit.
It is possible that it is legal, but I would assume it isn't, so tax yourself in the Netherlands, that way you know it is legal. When the "nasty letter" arrives you'll feel really bad, and if it isn't taxable the Dutch tax authorities will simply send your tax return back without deducting tax, so you have nothing to lose.
I would arrange a consultation with an independent Dutch accountant not someone recommended by a recruitment company or an Umbrella.
