Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had to be treated as self-employed or as a person without gainful activity for AVS/AI/APG contributions from 2001 to 2006.
Solution extraite
The appellant was correctly treated as a person without gainful activity because the economic evidence did not establish a real self-employed activity with a profit motive.
Motifs extraits
The business results were negative or marginal over many years, while the appellant lived mainly off significant assets and investment income. The isolated documents produced were insufficient to prove an actual economically meaningful self-employed practice.
