Questione giuridica chiave
Whether loss carryforwards from 1997 and 1998 may reduce AHV-contributory income for 2001
Decisione estratta
No. Losses incurred before 2001 cannot be carried forward into the 2001 AHV contribution year under the former accrual method rules.
Motivazione estratta
Under the pre-2001 system, period-overlapping loss offsetting was categorically excluded in AHV contribution law; only losses arising in 2001 or later could be carried forward.
