Questão jurídica principal
Whether income from the German GmbH & Co. KG is subject to Swiss AHV contributions as self-employment income.
Decisão extraída
Yes. For a Swiss-resident insured person, income from a stake in a foreign partnership-like entity without legal personality is AHV-contribution income under Swiss law.
Fundamentação extraída
The court reaffirmed its case law that Art. 20(3) AHVV applies to participations in foreign entities of this type. The decisive point is the Swiss AHV qualification of the income once Swiss law governs the person; foreign law characterization or the degree of control is not decisive.
