Question juridique clé
Whether the early-retirement and welfare foundation payments qualify as contribution-bearing income under Art. 5 Abs. 2 AHVG.
Solution extraite
Yes. The payments are economically linked to the employment relationship and are in principle subject to contributions.
Motifs extraits
Under the object-based approach, any economically connected benefit is contribution-bearing unless expressly exempted by law; it is irrelevant whether the payment comes from the employer or a third party.
