Questione giuridica chiave
Whether business losses from 1998-2001 may be deducted from 2002 self-employment income for AHV contribution purposes
Decisione estratta
Only the loss incurred and recorded in 2001 may be offset; losses from 1998-2000 cannot be carried forward for this purpose.
Motivazione estratta
Under the post-2001 current assessment system, the previous reasoning rejecting period-overlapping loss offsets no longer applies, but the admissible offset is limited to losses incurred and booked in 2001 or later.
